MALFUNCTION CAUTIONS

29. FAILURE TO FIRE: ALWAYS HOLD THE PISTOL,

KEEPING IT POINTED TOWARD THE TARGET OR A SAFE

OPEN AREA AND WAIT 30 SECONDS when the pistol

fails to fire. If a hangfire (slow ignition) has occurred,

round will fire within 30 seconds. If round does not fire,

remove magazine, eject round and examine primer; if

firing pin indent on primer is light, off center, or non-

existent, have the pistol examined by a competent

gunsmith before firing again. It firing pin indent on

primer appears normal (in comparison with similar

previously fired rounds) assume faulty ammunition;

segregate misfired round from other live ammunition

and empty cases, reload and carry on firing.

NOTE: Dispose of misfired rounds in accordance with

ammunition manufacturer’s instructions.

30. NEVER USE YOUR PISTOL IF IT FAILS TO FUNCTION

PROPERLY. AND . NEVER FORCE A JAMMED ACTION, as

a round may explode causing serious injury, possible

death, or severe damage to your pistol.
