Please note that inserted clip does NOT push down the magazine follower on Broom and it does not even touch the magazine follower. The follower is pushed down when you press the ammo in. There are two senarios that I can think of, not neccessarily match your Broom, but here they are: (1) The gun was pretty new and you have to use it a lot to "break in"; Or (2) the recoil spring was replaced and the bolt pushes the magazine follower too hard.

Reloading this type of gun took lots of practice. According to the memoirs that I read, historically there were guys paying high price, including their life, when they could not reload it quickly at critical moments. It's inappropriate to be used as a self-defense gun nowadays.
