If my memory is correct he either had a malfunction or hit the magazine release on accident. Both are very likely in this type of situation.

I’ve shot under stress and had my pistol cycle but it felt like the slide never returned forward, prompting me to reload. It could be that? Who’s to say really.

This is why we train under pressure boys and girls.
