Take your finger off the trigger when clearing malfunctions
I shot in a local USPSA match yesterday.
We had a relatively new shooter using some variety of CZ pistol who had malfunction problems on one stage. He was a little rattled and his malfunction clearance drill consisted of working the slide and THEN tapping the bottom of the magazine (the recommended procedure is to tap the mag to make sure it's seated and then cycle the action)
In any case, he did that about three times and then put a round into the particle board barricade because he was trying to clear the malfunction with his finger on the trigger. He received a match DQ for having the accidental discharge but he handled that well.
I don't know if he was using reloaded or factory ammo and I don't know what was causing the malfunctions.
