Try pushing down on the follower.
Brand new. Never had a shell in it. Was going to shoot for the first time today
just looked at mine and ..
A)the extractor sticks out on mine like that
B) my lifter is down when the slide is back and i cant physically push the lifter up with the slide back so there is an issue in there somewhere
C) i bought mine used with alot of rounds through it and my chamber looks night and day better than yours
