Manual

11
Condition Three - Magazine loaded, chamber loaded, hammer cocked, safety on.
Proper training from NRA certified firearm instructors must be received prior to car-
rying the firearm in this condition. The pistol can be fired when the thumb safety is
off and the trigger is squeezed. Use Condition Three when you must be prepared to
use the pistol immediately without warning.
Unloading the Pistol
1. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times and keep the fin-
gers outside the trigger guard. Keep hands away from muzzle and ejection port.
WARNING: EVEN THOUGH THE MAGAZINE HAS BEEN REMOVED,
A CARTRIDGE REMAINING IN THE CHAMBER CAN STILL BE FIRED.
ALWAYS VISUALLY CHECK THE CHAMBER.
2. Place your hand under magazine to prevent it from falling and press magazine
catch to release and eject magazine.
(NOTE: If the slide is fully rearward, step 3 does not apply.)
3. Using the serrated finger grips pull the slide sharply rearward to extract and eject
a round from the chamber. Keep your hands clear of the ejection port to allow the
round to eject without obstruction. Examine the previously chambered round for any
damage; if damaged, dispose of ammunition properly.
4. Keep the pistol pointing in a safe direction, allow the slide to return forward on
an empty chamber and squeeze the trigger to allow the hammer to fall forward. If
the slide is held to the rear by the slide stop, pull the slide back slightly, then ease
the slide forward. Repeatedly allowing the slide to slam closed on an empty cham-
ber will cause premature wear and should be avoided.
5. To remove any remaining rounds from the magazine, push the cartridges forward
until they clear the retaining lips.
WARNING: THE UNLOADING SEQUENCE MUST BE FOLLOWED
EXACTLY AS SPELLED OUT. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT
IN THE HANDGUN’S CHAMBER BECOMING UNINTENTIONALLY
LOADED WITH A CARTRIDGE.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU KEEP THIS FIREARM LOCKED IN
A SECURE PLACE AND TAKE OTHER STEPS NECESSARY TO
LIMIT THE POSSIBILITY OF THEFT OR ACCIDENT. FAILURE TO
TAKE REASONABLE PREVENTIVE STEPS MAY RESULT IN
INNOCENT LIVES BEING LOST AND, IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES MAY
RESULT IN YOUR LIABILITY FOR THESE DEATHS.
