3.7 Clearing Misfires

WARNING: IF YOUR FIREARM GIVES ANY INDICATION THAT IT IS NOT

PERFORMING PROPERLY OR THE OPERATION OF YOUR FIREARM HAS

CHANGED “THE WAY IT FEELS OR SOUNDS”, STOP FIRING. MAKE

SURE THE FIREARM IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION, UNLOAD THE

FIREARM AND HAVE IT INSPECTED AND TEST- FIRED BY A GUNSMITH

QUALIFIED TO PERFORM SERVICE ON WALTHER FIREARMS.

• If a cartridge fails to fire, wait sixty seconds while keeping the muzzle pointed

in a safe direction.

• Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard.

• Remove the magazine.

• Grasp the serrated sides of the slide from the rear and briskly pull the slide

fully rearward to eject the misfired round. Do not obstruct the ejection port, and

do not attempt to catch the round by placing your hand over the ejection port.

Also remember that any time you release the slide while a magazine

containing cartridges is in the pistol, you will have reloaded the chamber.

• In order to lock the slide in the open position, allow the slide to move slightly

forward from the rearmost position while pressing upward on the slide stop.

• 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.
