This sounds like two completely different issues. In the first instance, the slide was not retracted enough to reset the hammer and trigger. In the second instance, the cartridge has some dimension issues that jammed it hard into the chamber. It could be that the bullet is too long and is jammed into the rifling or the case was not sized correctly and is clinging to the chamber. I guess a third possibility is that the attempt to chamber without retracting the slide sufficiently somehow fed the cartridge at a weird angle that somehow locked up the gun. Is the gun completely in battery or is it slightly out of battery? If completely in battery, I would say it was a cartridge dimension issue.
