I just got a call from a guy saying his Tarus 100 .40 cal is having problems. He said he could rack one in and fire without any issues. But when fired the slide doesn't move. He can pull the slide back and it will reject the shell and pick up the next round fine.
My first thought was that the timing was off on the gun, not letting it unlock in time to release the slide.
Or a heavy spring, but he said the gun had shot fine in the past and he had not changed the spring.
What are your thoughts on this problem. And what would it take to fix. I'm not much of a pistol smith and know even less about a Tarus.

Thanks guys
