    Semi-auto Shotgun Malfunctions

    Is there a standard (think SPORTS in the AR world) response to a semi-automatic shotgun malfunction?

    All this shotgun talk got me thinking about what one does for a failure to eject/extract, etc., when that FT_ is happening to their self-loading shotgun.
    Nobody is impressed by what you can't do. -THJ

    My plan, assuming I don't believe the shotgun is out of ammo, is to reach under the action with my support hand, and work the bolt operating handle (easier with a Nordic or equivalent), and if that doesn't fix it, it is time to go for the handgun. No handgun, go Nike.

    Immediate action:

    Lock the bolt to rear, hopefully ejecting whatever didn't go bang. Look or feel to ensure there is more ammo in the mag. Chamber a rd and do what is appropriate.

    or,

    Ditch gun and draw pistol.

    Remedial action:

    Empty gun, reload gun with fresh ammo.
