DRY FIRING

FIREARM COMPONENTS, POSSIBLY RENDERING THE FIREARM INOPERABLE.
SIGHT ADJUSTMENT
BEFORE PERFORMING SIGHT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES, REMOVE
THE MAGAZINE FROM THE FIREARM AND ENSURE THE CHAMBER IS
COMPLETELY UNLOADED. REPLACE THE UNLOADED MAGAZINE IN THE
PISTOL AND LOWER THE HAMMER TO THE DROPPED POSITION. ALWAYS
KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
AFTER THE LAST CARTRIDGE HAS BEEN FIRED, OR WHEN SHOOTING IS NO
LONGER IMMINENT, IMMEDIATELY PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE
POSITION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
5 If the magazine is empty and you wish to continue shooting, follow
the instructions in “Loading” on pages 18-22. If you are finished
shooting, follow the instructions in “Unloading” on pages 24-25.
When reloading the pistol, it is recommended that you inspect the
chamber to be sure it is empty prior to inserting a loaded magazine
into the pistol.
To reduce the chance of inadvertently feeding a cartridge into the
chamber from the magazine, always close the slide using the slide
stop before inserting a loaded magazine.
If your pistol is to be put away and stored, do not insert a loaded
magazine into the pistol. With the magazine removed, pull the slide
fully rearward and confirm the chamber is unloaded. Store the
firearm with the chamber and magazine empty.

1 Press the magazine release and remove the magazine. Remember,
merely removing the magazine does not mean the chamber
