Decock the hammer and block the slide. The red

warning dot then disappears.

SAFETY WARNING

All owners and users of FIRESTORM pistols are re-

minded to use the decocking lever to decock their

pistols. This is the only way to safely lower the ham-

mer.

WARNING

The hammer should never be manually lowered by

pulling the trigger. Manually lowering the hammer

is dangerous and may result in severe personal in-

jury or death.

WARNING: DO NOT THUMB THE HAMMER DOWN.

This action may result in severe personal injury or

death.

ALWAYS USE THE DECOCKING LEVER.

FIRING

If you intend to re your pistol, push down the man-

ual safety lever and squeeze the trigger.

Since the hammer is uncocked, the pull on the trig-

ger will rst cock the hammer and then release it.

This ring mode is called double action.

The discharge will recoil the slide which, in turn,

will eject the red cartridge case, cock the hammer,

and activate the recoil spring. The slide then auto-

matically returns forward feeding the next cartridge

from the magazine into the chamber.

THE PISTOL

THEN IS READY TO FIRE AGAIN.

Squeeze the trigger to re again.

To re the rst shot by the single action mode, sim-

ply cock the hammer manually after disengaging

the safety and squeeze the trigger.

When the last round has been red, the slide re-

mains fully back. If you intend to re again, remove

the empty magazine and insert a loaded one. Press
