Safety Instructions

excessive dry firing (firing without ammunition). It is advisable to use snap caps for dry training

as they are intended for this purpose.

Removal of the Magazine

Grip the pistol in your right (left) hand and by the thumb (middle finger) depress the

magazine catch (Fig. 2). The magazine disengages and falls out of the frame. This pistol model

is equipped with the user type magazine catch which can be reversed by gunsmith for the right

or left hand operation.

Magazine Loading

With the open end uppermost, grasp the magazine in one hand. Place a cartridge on the

magazine follower. Press the cartridge down and back until it touches the rear flat edge of the

magazine. Place the next cartridge on top of the previous cartridge and press down and back.

We recommend that when some cartridges are already loaded in the magazine, depress them

slightly with the thumb of the hand which holds the magazine.

The number of cartridges can be checked through the inspection holes. Do not try to

exceed the magazine capacity - doing so can cause a feeding failure.

Pistol Loading

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE PISTOL IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION WHEN LOADING!

Insert a loaded magazine and ensure that it has engaged the magazine catch.

Hold the pistol by the grip with one hand, and with the thumb and index finger grasp the

serrated finger grips on both sides of the slide. Retract the slide to the stop and allow it to snap

forward (Fig. 3). This procedure cocks the hammer and inserts a cartridge into the chamber.

The pistol is now ready to fire. If you do not intend to fire immediately, ensure the pistol safety

by some of the methods mentioned in the section: Engaging the Safety Mode or as per section

Decocking.

Reloading During Shooting

When the last cartridge has been fired the slide will stay to the rear. Remove the emptied

magazine and replace it with a loaded one. Thumb down the slide stop with the shooting hand

(Fig. 4), or with the other hand draw back the slide and allow it to snap forward. The pistol is

again loaded and ready to fire.

Unloading the Pistol

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE PISTOL IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION!

- Remove the magazine

- Draw back the slide and verify the last cartridge has been extracted from the

chamber and ejected

- Let the slide snap fully forward

- Depress the trigger (dry fire)
