3.6 Clearing Misfires
• If a cartridge fails to fire, wait sixty seconds while keeping the muzzle pointed in a
safe direction.
• Follow the procedure as described in section 3.5 “Unloading the Pistol”.
• Check the barrel chamber and bore visually for any obstructions. You must be
certain there are no cartridges in the chamber or obstructions in the barrel.
If there are any obstructions in the bore of the barrel have the pistol further
examined and repaired by a qualified gunsmith before using again.
