This is why the passive internal firing pin block safety are in most modern autoloaders today. The slide catch was not fully locked back and engaged or the slide catch did not hold the slide back so that when you inserted the mag the slide still under spring tension partially loaded a round. Worn parts. As to why the firing pin released I don't know but I suspect the worn parts are to blame also. Yes the oil will temporarily reduce friction of parts but the parts are still worn badly. A certain amount of tolerance is needed of parts fitment for guns to work properly and if they don't have that tolerance then they don't work properly. My grandma had a Mauser 1914 for a nightstand gun and it was in really good shape except the barrel rifling and chamber was worn out so that it was essentially a smooth bore. So when I shot it the fitment of the bullet in the bore and cartridge in the chamber was so bad that the bullet when leaving the muzzle had almost no velocity or any degree of accuracy. The bullet would not travel much more than ten yards before dropping to the ground. It needed a new barrel and I suspected that it was not safe to shoot with that barrel because of the worn chamber but I did not really want the pistol even if it had run good so I gave it to one of my brother in laws. It was loud enough to scare someone but doubtful that it would stop any threat.
This is definitely a worn/clapped out old pistol. Great comment and makes one appreciate the advancement in additional safeties. The one thing I'm having trouble consolidating is the fact that with the slide back that far the hammer doesn't hit the firing pin when released. So although I don't disagree that the hammer tripped when I pulled the mag release, I just haven't been able to show that could have caused the fire. But as you said, worn parts can do weird things. Take care and shoot safe out there!
@@redhawkvalleyYes worn parts can do weird things. They are out of tolerance and specs so their fitment is usually too loose or causing friction, odd angles, and so on. I saw that in the video so it is possible that the firing pin spring was bound in the firing pin channel and released on its own just by being jarred. If the firing pin channel has pitting or roughness that snagged the spring..........so the hammer would not have to hit the firing pin. I am assuming like most autoloaders that there is a firing pin spring. Some guns don't and have free floating firing pins like an AR15 that works on inertia.
@@rbm6184 your theory very well may be true. I may try to disassemble the firing pin assembly and check those parts for signs of things like you described. I don't really mind if this particular gun is unreliable, but unsafe is where it would become a wall ornament. I'll get back to you if I find something obvious. Thanks again for the comment.
@@redhawkvalleyYes its just a guess. I may be entirely wrong and its something else but it would not hurt to inspect the firing pin channel, firing pin, and firing pin spring for proper function and safety sake. While you are at it check the slide catch to make sure the slide locks back/open like it should on an empty mag. Some guns use the follower of the mag instead of a slide catch to lock open the slide after the last round.
