If we all followed the instruction manuals to the T, many would not be carrying a loaded chamber. Folks, these are written by the company's lawyers.
But back to the original topic:
So this proves my point. The OP did remove the mag first, yet assumed that the ejector would remove any chambered round. Removing the mag first did not help in this case. It was his neglect in physically checking the chamber and perhap visually that caused the ND. He was relying on the cycling action to do it.
He did not state that he dropped the mag and locked the slide back to check.
If he had locked back the slide first, and then dropped the mag, he would have more time to actually visually and physically check the chamber, and he would have had to perform two more actions of reinserting a magazine and dropping the slide for a ND to happen.
Also, why did he pull the trigger after removing the mag. Was he taking down his firearm, relieving the stress on the striker or hammer (as stated as a poor practice in my earlier posts) or getting ready to dry fire, or pressing the trigger to confirm an unloaded firearm?
