While I was trying to figure out my 24/7 Pro .45 POI problem at one time I rested the rail on a nearby ladder rung and fired to see what would happen with the POI. I got a very good hit. I tried again and discovered that the empty hadn't ejected.

I racked the slide and did another one, again solidly resting the rail on the ladder rung, again with a very good POI. But, again, it failed to eject. I racked again, puzzled.

I didn't try any more ladder supported shots and have had no ejection failures with hand held shots. That was a week or more ago. Yesterday I tried the ladder rung supported thing again and it went off without a hitch.

Any comments on this weirdness? Pure coincidence? Evil spirits? Voodoo? Hallucinations? Gremlins?

Weather, dirt, dust, funky ammo and even lubrication or the lack of... Then again you do live in Tennessee and I know the home grown whiskey is pretty darn good down there...(hehehe).

Once I was taking some guys from our church into the hills for a hike. There was an old abandoned cabin by the highway a few miles from my house, the drive of which I figured would make a good place to "jump off."

I hadn't seen anyone at the cabin in 25 years. There were no curtains, the porch was rotted, I had been by it many times at night and never saw a light. There had been a 3/4 inch cable across the drive between two huge oaks as long as I could remember.

Just as we were finished stepping over the cable we found ourselves looking into the ends of what looked a lot like a couple ten inch steel pipes welded side by side - actually the wrong end of a double barrel shotgun of unknown dimension. The shotgun asked us where we were going. As we climbed back over the cable I replied that we were just on our way to the car.
