17 Clearing malfunctions (jams)
In case of a failure to fire, continue to hold the iP1 pistol pointed towards the target for at
least 30 seconds. If a hangfire (slow ignition) has occurred, the cartridge should fire within
approximately 30 seconds. If the cartridge has not fired, remove the magazine, eject the
cartridge from the chamber and examine its primer. If the firing pin indentation is light or
non-existent, stop using the iP1 pistol and have it examined by Armatix U.S.A., Inc. If the
firing pin indentation on the primer appears normal (compared to similar previously fired
cartridges) the cartridge may be defective. Separate the cartridge from other live ammuni-
tion and empty cases, reload the iP1 pistol and resume firing.
Dispose of misfired cartridges in accordance with the ammunition manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
If an unfired cartridge hangs up, jams or binds while being chambered, do not attempt
to force it into the chamber by pushing or striking the slide to attempt to close it be-
cause this could cause the cartridge to burst resulting in fragments of the cartridge
flying out of the ejection port with sufficient force to cause death or serious personal
injury and/or property damage.
Always wear safety glasses when attempting to remove a jammed cartridge to protect
your eyes.
Use of improper ammunition could cause death or serious personal injury and/or prop-
erty damage. Only use high quality commercially manufactured .22 LR ammunition
that meets SAAMI or CIP standards.
