Hi Rafael and welcome. No Sir. It will fire no issue. locked Breech is a timing event to prevent overpressure of ammunition. Locked breech. This action is used when the pressure in the chamber is high enough that the opening of the breech would occur too rapidly with simple or delayed blowback which could cause weapons damage or human injury. The breechblock is "locked" into the barrel. Cheers and stay safe!

Hi Rafael, Locked breech is the design of a breech-reloading firearm's action. This action is used when the pressure in the chamber is high enough that the opening of the breech would occur too rapidly with simple or delayed blowback which could cause weapons damage or human injury. The breechblock is "locked" into the barrel. At the point of firing the inertia pushes the barrel and slide/breechblock backwards together for a certain distance. This type of action utilizes the inertia of the locked together slide/breech and barrel so that its inertia prevents movement too quickly. The locking mechanism will disengage after a certain amount of travel at which time the pressures will have dropped. Stay safe & have a great day!
