What ammo were you shooting? It's possible that if it were on the light side there wasn't enough inertia to take the slide all the way back, but enough to cycle a new round. Just a quick guess.
Also, did you clean it completely, and lube it properly before you tried to shoot it? that's a must with all firearms new, used, or surplus.
