Handgun Malfunctions Explained - Failure to Extract

Failure to extract is a common malfunction in semi-automatic firearms.
This malfunction occurs when the cartridge fails to exit from the chamber after firing. Common causes of a failure to extract are dirt or corrosion in the extractor claw, or the cartridge itself has a worn case.
