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 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 (ARC).
IMPORTANT: If your Model 9410 has not fired when
the trigger is pulled, also be sure to check your gun’s
manual hammer stop to make sure it was not left
inadvertently in the “on safe” position.
F IRING P ROCEDURES
IMPORTANT: WHEN YOU ARE PREPARING TO
SHOOT, IT IS ALWAYS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU
BE TOTALLY SURE OF YOUR TARGET. ALWAYS
BE AWARE OF ALL OBJECTS BEHIND YOUR
TARGET. KNOW THE EXACT LOCATION OF
PERSONS WITH YOU AND ANY OTHERS IN
YOUR VICINITY. PICK YOUR TARGET WISELY
AND CAREFULLY.
Pry the rim of the shell up
onto the spring cover.
Use your finger to push the
cover in and hold it there.
