the chamber.
(he pistol is automa(ically loaded and (he hammer cocked. The ex(rac-
(ion of the empty magazine after the last car(ri dge is fired can be
realized by simply pressing the checkered button, found on the pistol
at the lower right hand corner of the left grip. If, at any time, it is
desired to extract the cartridge which is in the chamber, it is necessary
to move the slide back with a rapid motion, such as when the arm
is loaded. This movement should be with sufficient speed so as to
cause the cartridge to be thrown out of the extraction port. Note:
The perfect function of the arm, especially in automatics, depends
finally on the quality of the cartridges being used, which should be
sufficiently powerful I to move the slide with enough force to allow
the recuperation for which it was designed. The factory, in test firing
the «Cub» pistol, has used ammunition manufactured in the United
States.

The causes which contribute (0
the corrosion and formation of fouling
in the interior of the barrel in this type of arm have been practically
eliminated in the use of modern ammunition of the non-corrosive
type and with lubricated bullets. The continued use of unlubricated
copper plated bullets eventually builds up fouling in the grooves of
the barrel and also leads to possible jamming and misfiring and other
malfunctioning of the pistol. In case the barrel has been fouled by
use of improper ammunition the use of the brush, which is supplied
with the pistol, and a good grade of solvent is recommended. Pistols

DISASSEMBLY & REASSEMBLY
FIGURE

In loading the magazine note that the magazine has a button with
which it is possible to depress the elevator or magazine follower
sufficiently to. introduce cartridges more easily, since then the pressure
of the magazine spring against the follower is reduced. Insert the
magazine with its complement of cartridges in its place in the grip
of the pistol and with the tumb safety in fire position move the slide
fully to the rear, then releasing it so as to introduce the first cartrid-
ge from the magazine to the chamber. With this same motion the
hammer is cocked and the arm is ready to fire. Holding the pistol
carefully it is fired by pressing the trigger with the index finger. After
each cartridge is fired, as long as the magazone contains cartridges,

To facilitate the cleaning and reoiling of the pistol Model 2000, the
disassembly has been very much simplified as can be realized by
the following instructions:
