Once in a while I had this type of jam. Not because of stovepiping but because the extractor released the case early leaving it halfway out the chamber(it was ammo related).
First time it ocurred was in a match. I had to declare an alibi, that cost me 2 points penalty, in a 5 minute 5 shot string because I couldn't clear it alone. 
When I got home I decided it wouldn't happen again. So I developed this method.

Yes, that works well- as long as the "jam" can be moved with a finger. I carry a wooden dowel with a flattened end as sometimes it takes a little more persuasion than my finger.
