hey guys, i went shooting last thursday and the temp was about 85 and humidity about
85 % and i was shooting a cobray m12 .380(usually shoots great) and a 1911 / .45  both guns would fire a few rounds then an empty shell would get stuck in the chamber as if it was cocked and loaded with a new bullet, but it was just an empty shell and the next rd in the mag would slam behind it, both guns were jamming the exact same way and they both got very hot, fast, and i let them cool a min and oiled em up and it still did it...anyone know if this is due to weather or is it something else.. i changed mags in the .380 but no the .45
thanks

I have shot in 98+ degrees with the high humidity and never had any issues as you describe.  IMHO, think you probably had some other issues.

Good luck,

what kinda ammo where you using? was it differnt than the ones in previous times? mag problems? or perhaps the guns were so hot, you were not gripping em correctly and limp wristing (hey, its possible!)?

Hell, my weapons typically get so hot you cant hold em anymore..... ambient temp differences are miniscule.  If just being 85 out... your issues are elsewhere.

Was your ammo sitting on the dashboard in the sun?
