Or it was held back against the bolt face by the extractor hook. This should fire, but I wouldn't think it would have the force to work the slide.
I fired a 380 in a 40 S&W one time. One time. A friend of mine fired 5 357s in my Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 magnum, once. Once.

no not consistantly. but i wanted to try and see if my 1076 would and it does shoot .40's. i may have shot better than half a box out of it. good to know if your in a pinch. You are also correct that not all of the rounds cycled but most did. if you had a 610 i imagine you could shoot .40's all day long out of it.
