You may NOT have to wait until your next range trip... just chambering a live round manually with a full mag in the gun and then racking the slide MIGHT show a problem. (Just keep your finger away from the trigger!)

If you've got a spent casing (which you'd have at the range), that would likely be a better indicator of a problem, as it that spent casing would be more easily bumped loose than a unfired round (which has more weight).

Even if a tight chamber slows things down, the other part of the cycle (the round being stripped from the mag and chambered isn't going to happen until the slide has moved all the way to the rear and the next round is being picked up.

For some reason, the round being extracted is being knocked loose from the extractor and it's getting in the way when the next round is being fed.
