Squib Misfire. This is the first course of fire when one of my rounds only fired the primer, likely due to too little gunpowder when the round was reloaded (my error for not checking). At first I think the round primer misfired and go to rack the slide to get a new round into the chamber. But I noticed whiffs of smoke from the ejection port on the side of the gun which is not normal. That meant something fired and was unsure if the barrel was clear (regarless of what the gunsmith said). I remove the magazine and you can see the empty case pop out onto the table. I then inspect the barrel from both ends looking to see if I can see light reflecting down the shiny inside of the barrel and I don't (no I'm not pointing the gun at my head). At that point I disassemble the gun and find the barrel blugged with the bullet. Apparently the gunsmith was wrong. This was dangerous as if I had not stoppped and loaded a new live round and fired the gun, it is likely that the gun would have exploded in my hand. See below for the effort required to remove the bullet.
