If that's the case, you are actually in an under pressure situation. That could spell trouble if you rapid fire as you are now more likely to wind up with a round stuck in the chamber. Try to switch out ammo. If it still does it then I'd get the barrel chamber checked. Might not be perfectly cut.

If the barrel checks out then leave it with a gunsmith to diagnose. Any issue like that tells me there is a problem and no firearm should exhibit problems.

I saw a Thompson copy have 5 ( ) .45 ACP rounds stuck in the barrel because of one low charge round that didn't clear the muzzle. The idiot was lucky the carbine didn't blow up on him.

Holy crap! How the hell does THAT happen? You'd think that after the second shot with no new hole resulting in the target there might be a little bit of a big freakin' problem! Silly people. But you are right. Check and test your ammo. Carefully.

Then you got a single, under-charged round. It happens. But certainly not a good thing.

Made worse that it was fired by the less experienced Mrs. BoneZ.

Talking Can Cannon PSA

PSA

For those who don't know a while back BATFE reclassified the Can Cannon by X Products so that when it was on a AR-15 lower it was an SBR and a AR-15 Pistol lower an AOW. That put guys like me who owned the Can Cannon in the dog house due to not having any SBR lowers or AOW lowers. Luckily I had a friend with a SBR willing to babysit mine ever since that ruling came out.

X Products promised to fix this and they have.

The new design of the gas port passed BATFE approval and X Products have set up a replacement program for the new gas tube.

Replacement Program: https://xproducts.com/legalize-my-can-cannon
BATFE Letter: https://www.xproducts.com/sites/defa...Can-Cannon.pdf

Also X Products has released the grappling hook for the Can Cannon.
Comes in different colors, grey, red, blue, and gold.

I would have just kept it at home, out of sight. In some cases, the BATFags are just silly.....

Well. The cool thing is, if he doesn't put out when he gets back, I keep the cannon and use it as a sex toy.

Had some range time this morning. Put a apex fss trigger kit in my m&p9fs with new extractor and a duty/carry kit in my shield. The shield feels amazing. And wow the 9fs is a completely new gun. Im impressed.
