This is not a procedure you want to do often — so please
be very careful not to mix 2
1 ⁄ 2 " and 3" shells in your
pockets. The Model 9410 is designed solely for 2 1 ⁄ 2 " shells.
I N THE C ASE OF A M ISFIRE
Only rarely will modern factory ammunition experience a
misfire. If this ever happens to you when shooting your
Model 9410, please follow these instructions carefully.
CAUTION: IN CASE OF MISFIRE, KEEP THE
BARREL POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION,
PLACE THE MANUAL HAMMER STOP/SAFETY
IN THE “ON” POSITION AND CAREFULLY
OPEN ACTION WHILE AVOIDING DIRECT
EXPOSURE TO THE BREECH BY YOURSELF
AND OTHERS.
Carefully inspect the ejected shell. If the primer is
indented, the shell should be disposed of in a manner that
would prevent accidental injury to you or others. If there
is no indentation, your gun may have malfunctioned and
should be serviced by a qualified gunsmith. If the gun is
under warranty, it must be serviced by a U.S. Repeating
Arms Company, Authorized Repair Center.
Before sending in your gun for service, be sure that you
did not simply attempt to fire the shotgun with the
manual hammer stop/safety in the “safe” position. In this
case, the hammer falls, but the gun does not fire.
Pry the rim of the shell up
onto the spring cover
Use your finger to push the
cover in and hold it there
