What is the correct sequence for performing a phase 2 malfunction?

The correct sequence for performing a phase 2 malfunction is to first strip the magazine, then rack the slide twice, and finally insert a fresh magazine.

In this context, a phase 2 malfunction typically refers to a situation where a failure to feed or fire occurs after the initial round is fired, often due to a failure to eject or a double feed. Stripping the magazine removes any potentially faulty ammunition or obstruction that might be causing the issue. Racking the slide twice serves to ensure that any rounds that are jammed in the chamber are cleared, and that the chamber is empty. Finally, inserting a fresh magazine allows the shooter to reload the firearm and prepare to fire again.

Each step in this sequence is critical for effectively addressing the malfunction and ensuring the firearm's readiness for use. Other sequences do not effectively clear the malfunction in the same way, which makes this sequence the most effective choice for dealing with a phase 2 malfunction.
