That's what I'm thinking.

I had the same thing happen to me. I shot a few rounds and then dropped the mag and took a quick glance into the chamber. I holstered and then started to walk off the line when it occurred to me that I didn't fire enough to empty the mag and the slide should have been locked back if I did.

I unholstered and took a GOOD look in the chamber. That's when I noticed there was one in there. The extractor had failed.

When I work as a range officer, it's always the newbies who take the time to show me their empty chambers. The guys who help run the matches are the worse because they do it automatically instead of taking the time to really see what they are doing. I even had a couple show me an empty chamber, close the slide and then drop the mag.
Sheesh.
