from the chamber and eject it from the pistol. (Make sure there are no bystanders in close

proximity on either side of the pistol who could be injured by the ejected cartridge case or

gasses expelled from the pistol.)

Note: If the trigger is pressed again, the pistol will fire! Keep the pistol

pointed in a safe direction.

6. Firing may be continued in this manner until the magazine is empty.

7. When firing is finished, place the safety lever in the “SAFE” position.

8. Remove the magazine from the pistol.

9. Check the pistol's chamber to ensure it does not contain a round by placing the safety lever in

the "FIRE" position, pulling the operating handle back and then looking into the chamber

through the ejection port while keeping the pistol pointed in a safe direction. When you are

finished checking the chamber, release the operating handle and return the safety lever to the

"SAFE" position.

WARNING! Always unload your pistol immediately after use and prior to

cleaning and storage to minimize the risk of an accidental discharge. If your pistol

ever fails to fire keep it pointed at the target for at least 30 seconds in the event of

a hangfire (slow ignition). If the round still does not fire, remove the magazine, eject

and discard the bad round. Reload the pistol to resume firing.

Unloading the Pistol

WARNING!

The pistol will fire if the magazine is removed and if the trigger is

pulled when a cartridge is in the chamber.

WARNING! If dropped, any firearm could fire when there is a cartridge in the

chamber and the safety lever is in the "FIRE" position.

WARNING! Keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

1. Move the safety lever to the "SAFE" position. (See Illustration #5.)

2. Remove the magazine. (See Illustration #7.)

3. Move the safety lever to the “FIRE” position and check the pistol's chamber to ensure it does

not contain a round. (See Illustration #6.)

4. In the event that a cartridge remains in the chamber after pulling the trigger and the extractor

fails to remove it (whether or not it has fired), you should remove the magazine, then work the

operating handle several times to try to eject the cartridge. If this does not eject the cartridge,

ride the operating handle home (slowly allow it to return to its forward position without

allowing it to impact the back of the cartridge casing). Follow the instructions found on this

page to field strip your pistol before attempting to remove the cartridge. If after field stripping

your pistol you are still unable to remove the cartridge casing, do not reassemble the pistol.

Take the pistol to a competent gunsmith to ensure proper functioning.

Field Stripping

WARNING!

Before beginning the disassembly process, check to ensure the pistol

is not loaded. To do so, follow the procedures detailed in the Unloading the

Pistol section found on this page of the manual.
