A semi-automatic handgun is a machine—a simple one, but a machine no less. It needs maintenance and requires you to do your part. But even when you do everything right, your handgun can still malfunction. The common and generally accepted malfunctions are referred to as follows: Type 1, a failure to feed or fire; Type 2, a stovepipe (failure to eject); and Type 3, a double feed. Type 1 is the least difficult to resolve, and Type 3 is the most difficult.
The goal of any training program should be simplicity and efficiency. In non-diagnostic malfunction-clearance drills, the goal is to simply react to a stoppage or malfunction and clear it without stopping to look, then to think, assess and react. Time is not on your side when it comes to getting a handgun back up and running after a malfunction occurs. Therefore, we are going to cut out “look-think-assess” in our training and skip directly to “react.” Pre-Requisites LVL 1-2
