GLOCK 19 question

[357magnum]

I was shooting today with my Father, who has a Glock 19.
While shooting he had a misfire, dropped the magazine and tried to pull the slide back to extract the round and clear the gun.
The slide would only come back about 1/4 of an inch, tried racking several times with no success. Also the trigger did not reset.
I tried to see if I could remove the slide, and was able to.
I have the slide in hand, removed the recoil spring, but the barrel and round are stuck in the slide.
I reassemble the gun and try racking the slide some more, no luck.
I get the range armor and show him.
He takes the gun back into his shop and returns minutes latter.
He told me he just kept racking the slide until it finally ejected the the live round.
We loaded it back up and continued to shoot.
No more problems.
This Glock 19 is new with approx. 200 rounds fired.
Any ideas, has this happened to any one else.
Thanks for any help.

What type of ammo? I would expect a problem with the brass casing.

Did you inspect the extracted round? It could have been as simple as a misshaped round that jammed in the chamber and took a bit to pull out.

LOL - What romadant said!

Case might have been marred

Reloads? Sometimes the cases are bulged out

Yes, could be a reload that wasn't properly resized during the reloading process.

Yes these were reloads from the shooting range, and no I did not see the jammed round after the armor removed it.
I guess I should have asked to see it, or asked the armor if he noticed anything strange with the round.
I will keep this in mind if it happens again.
Thanks for your input.

Case was probably bulged and the slide never went all the way into battery.
