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 in the sides of
the magazine. 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)
