Ground ball to F3, who throws to F1 covering 1B. F1 catches F3's throw but stumbles before he reaches 1B. As he is trying to regain his balance, he sticks his foot out and kicks the bag, takes another stumble step, and falls to the ground and the ball comes out. I admit I don't know how to call this one.
If you subscribe to the instantenous out on a tag of a base, then the answer is: He's out.

The fact he lost the ball when he hit the ground is irrelevant since what he did was "glove" a ball. You cannot "catch" a thrown ball.
