Did my gun do this?

My p938 was flawless for the first 200 rounds. I took it to the range recently and had but problems out of 2 different types of ammo. A couple double feeds, ftes, and ftfs. Good malfunction clearing practice but that better not be happening if I ever need the gun.

In this picture, the casing is visibility crushed in one place. Is it possible my gun did this to the casing? Or were the malfunctions caused by faulty ammo?

The one thing I can think of is that my gun was absolutely bone dry this time around. Maybes that contributed but I don't see it causing all the problems that I had.

Factory Winchester white box ammo. I didn't notice this issue on any other rounds that caused malfunctions. Also I had a few times where the slide wouldn't return fully into battery and I pulled the trigger and *click*

Be a hella spring to crush the rim of a case like that.

Did you inspect the ammo before loading it? Did you inspect case while lodged in gun or eject it without looking?

 

[alnen]

No I didn't inspect before loading. I did a cursory look before I elected it but couldn't see the damaged part.

Your gun didn't do that. It was done that way during the loading process at Winchester.

That's a loading malfunction from the factory when the sizing die doesn't fall top dead center on the case and it rolls the shoulder over and then the seating die flattens it out. It's a factory failure, it has nothing to do with your gun.

Factory. I had some Remington umc or wwb the other day like that.

Definitely the ammo.

The bigger question is, why do people still buy and try to shoot WWB?

Definitely the ammo.

The bigger question is, why do people still buy and try to shoot WWB?

Because it's relatively cheap and available plinking ammo ?
