2. STOP SHOOTING IMMEDIATELY if you encounter any
other mechanical malfunction while firing your pistol, e.g.,
cartridge has failed to extract, report on firing does not
sound right, powder gas is being “spit out,” cartridge
primer is punctured or cartridge case is bulged or
punctured. HAVE THE FIREARM AND AMMUNITION
EXAMINED BY A COMPETENT GUNSMITH.
3. FAILURE TO FIRE: KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE
DIRECTION and hold it there for 30 seconds to determine
if a HANGFIRE (slow ignition) has occurred. If round has
not fired within the 30 seconds, remove the magazine,
eject the round and examine the primer.
NOTE: Disposal of misfired or otherwise damaged, unfired
cartridges should be carried out according to instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the ammunition.
