t went bang!!! Then did not extract the empty and the extractor was still sticking up.



Would the pistol again fire? (click) on the empty cartridge that's back in the

chamber?


What you need to determine is how far back the toggle is going. Two things could happen, the toggle is not going back far enough to engage the ejector (you say is intact) to kick out the cartridge case or it's not going back at all but staying in battery upon firing. Weak ammo or a mainspring problem, kinked?



Not going back at all but staying in battery upon firing. If the toggle were deploying at all it would likely interact with a rising fresh cartridge and cause a jam, not end up with the spent shell back in the chamber.



Can you get someone to observe the toggle upon firing?
