That happens to me with an extended ejector, which makes normal ejection with empties more reliable by starting the ejection earlier in the cycle. But the trade off is that it can eject a live round before the front of the bullet can clear on some ammo.

It doesn't worry me because I accept the trade off.

Jim is spot on.....its a good trade off for the performance. My STI does this as well with some longer rounds.

You could have a smith modify it but I sure wouldn't.

I believe that an extended ejector is the culprit.
The only other possible cause would be a shok buff…
