3. When a pistol does not fire
within the allowed pressure limits on the initial test at the 100 foot
setting, the firing operation should be repeated several times. If the
firing pres-sure is consistent and does not exceed the allowed pressure
limits by more than 5 psi it may be assumed that the defect is of a minor
nature and can be corrected by recalibrat-ion of the pistol. However, should
erratic pressure readings be recorded on repeated fir-ing of the pistol or
should the firing pressures exceed the allowed pressure limits by more than
5 psi the pistol should be broken down for examination as to the cause of
malfunc-tioning. |
