It depends on what caused the misfire, and it depends on what you mean. If you are having constant misfires, then there is either something wrong with your ammo, or there is something wrong with the pistol.
If you mean what is the proper procedure for clearing a misfire, then you keep the gun pointed in a safe direction and rack the slide to eject the bad round, or open the cylinder and eject it if it is a revolver.
