When a hang fire or misfire happens immediately eject the cartridge or shell to clear the chamber?

When you pull the trigger and nothing happens you don't know whether you have a misfire (failure to go off) or a hangfire (delayed firing). You should continue to point the muzzle in a safe direction for 30 seconds and then deal with the issue appropriately. Tap the magazine to ensure that it is in place and properly seated, then rack the slide to cycle to the next round. All the while keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire at your target.

How do you remove a misfire from a semi auto pistol barrel?
A misfire is a cartridge that fails to fire- at all. Operating the action of the pistol by hand will normally extract the misfired cartridge. However, if you are using misfire to mean a "squib" load, that is different. A squib happens when the primer fires, but ignites none or only a small amount of the powder- and the bullet is pushed out into the barrel- and stops there. THAT needs to go to a gunsmith, who will use non-damaging tools to push the bullet back down the barrel and out. Do NOT attempt to shoot a stuck bullet out of the barrel- will not end well.
