5 Insert a completely unloaded magazine into the pistol.
6 Close the slide.
7 Lower the hammer to the dropped position.
UNLOADING THE MAGAZINE
1 Depress the magazine release and remove the magazine.
Remember, merely removing the magazine does not mean
the chamber is unloaded.
2 Unload the pistol as explained previously, make sure the chamber is
completely unloaded.
3 Strip the cartridges from the magazine by pushing forward on the
rim of the top cartridge and sliding each cartridge out, one at a
time, as each moves up in the magazine.
4 Unload any extra magazines.
SIGHT ADJUSTMENT
BEFORE PERFORMING SIGHT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES, REMOVE THE
MAGAZINE FROM THE FIREARM AND ENSURE THE CHAMBER IS COMPLETELY
UNLOADED. PLACE THE HAMMER IN THE DROPPED POSITION. ALWAYS
KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
FIXED SIGHTS
Some Hi Power pistols are equipped with a fixed front sight blade and
a drift adjustable rear sight. No adjustment of the front sight is
necessary. Rear sight adjustment is a process of trial and error.
The windage adjustment (horizontal correction) is preset at the factory.
However, should adjustment be required, the rear sight may be moved
in the dovetail slot in the slide. This is accomplished by lightly tapping
the base of the rear sight using a small wooden dowel or comparable
5 If the magazine is empty and you wish to continue shooting, follow
the instructions in “Loading” on pages 19-22. 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 in the pistol. The chamber and magazine
should remain empty.
