When a spent cartridge fails to fully eject from a semi-automatic pistol; its primary characteristic is that it's trapped in the ejection port in an upright position, which resembles a stovepipe. The cause is usually from riding the slide versus allowing the slide to engage under its own spring loaded force.

The failure of the M9 pistol to eject the cartridge is referred to as a "stovepipe" stoppage. This occurs when a spent cartridge casing becomes stuck in the ejection port instead of being fully ejected from the firearm. It typically happens due to a failure in the cycling process, often caused by insufficient recoil or a malfunctioning extractor.
