The second type of malfunction is a Type Two, or failure to eject. This has also been called a "stovepipe" in reference to the appearance of a partially ejected case stuck vertically in the ejection port. Unfortunately, this malfunction does not always appear as a stovepipe. The cartridge case is oftentimes trapped horizontally in the ejection port and is not as easily diagnosed (a muffler pipe?).

The initial indication that there is something wrong with your pistol will probably be that the trigger is not working. This will be followed by the realization that your slide appears to be out of battery. If you are lucky, you will see brass sticking up out of the ejection port. Don't bet your life on seeing the partially ejected case, because again, it may just as easily be horizontal in the ejection port, necessitating that you break your firing wrist enough to allow you to see into the port.

This is a wise course of action for two reasons. First, taking a quick look to see what you have will be what you do reflexively anyway. Second, a Type Two, from a shooter's eye view, looks identical to an out-of-battery empty gun and to a feedway stoppage. Each of these situations requires its own solution, and attempting to force the wrong solution often results in even worse problems. But the Type One and Two clearances are identical, thereby saving time and effort! So the first step is to look.
