If while firing the trigger is pulled and the firearm does not immediately fire: 92 A1 CEASE FIRING IMMEDIATELY! • Keep the firearm pointed in a SAFE direction in the event a "hang-fire" has occurred. A hang-fire occurs when there is a delay in a cartridge's ignition. • With the pistol pointed in a SAFE direction, wait one (1) full minute. • After one (1) full minute has elapsed, completely unload the firearm by following the unloading instructions in this manual. • Carefully inspect your ammunition. • Immediately refer to a qualified gunsmith if the firing pin indent on a fired cartridge's primer is light, off-center or does not exist. • Following the disassembly instructions given in the manual, field strip the pistol and look down the barrel from the muzzle (or front) end to make sure that no obstruction exists. If a barrel obstruction is detected, a qualified gunsmith must remove the obstruction and inspect the pistol before it can be fired. WARNING: If another cartridge is fired into an obstructed barrel, catastrophic failure can result. ! If, while firing, you hear a change in the sound of a fired cartridge, or feel a change in the amount of recoil, or detect any other irregularity: CEASE FIRING IMMEDIATELY! • Keep the firearm pointed in a SAFE direction. A "squib load" may have occurred. A "squib" occurs when a cartridge fires, but with insufficient force to drive the bullet out of the barrel. This can result in a dangerous bore obstruction. 35

CEASE FIRING IMMEDIATELY!
• Keep the firearm pointed in a SAFE direction in the event a

minute.
• After one (1) full minute has elapsed, completely unload the
firearm by following the unloading instructions in this manual.
• Carefully inspect your ammunition.
• Immediately refer to a qualified gunsmith if the firing pin indent
on a fired cartridge’s primer is light, off-center or does not exist.
• Following the disassembly instructions given in the manual,
field strip the pistol and look down the barrel from the muzzle
(or front) end to make sure that no obstruction exists. If a barrel
obstruction is detected, a qualified gunsmith must remove the
obstruction and inspect the pistol before it can be fired.
WARNING:
If another cartridge is fired into an obstructed barrel,
catastrophic failure can result.
If, while firing, you hear a change in the sound of a fired
