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.

3. Move the safety lever to the “FIRE” position. (See Illustration #3.) Check the pistol's chamber
to ensure it does not contain a round by pulling back on the bolt cocking handle. (See
Illustration #4.) Inspect the chamber to ensure it is empty. Once you determine the chamber is
empty and no magazine is in the pistol, let the bolt go forward. Move the safety lever to the
"SAFE" position. (See Illustration #2.)
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
bolt cocking handle several times to try to eject the cartridge. If this does not eject the
cartridge, ride the bolt cocking 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 page 10 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 remove the round and ensure proper
functioning.
WARNING! Keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
1. Move the safety lever to the "SAFE" position. (See Illustration #2.)
2. Remove the magazine from the pistol. With your left hand holding the receiver,
remove your right hand from the pistol grip and grasp the magazine, using your thumb depress
the magazine release lever. (See Illustration #8.) You will now be able to rotate the bottom of the
magazine toward the muzzle end of the pistol and remove it from the magazine well in the
receiver. (See Illustration #9.)
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.
