Manual

IMPORTANT: Do these checks only after you strip and assemble the pistol. Do
not slam the slide forward at any other time, except when loading. If you
fA
exercise the slide, control it with your hand.
ili CAUTION: WHILE UNLIKELY, IT IS POSSIBLE THE FIRING PIN MAY STICK
FORWARD. IF YOU FIND IT STICKING FORWARD, DO NOT LOAD OR AT-
TEMPT TO FIRE THE PISTOL. If you attempt to close the slide on a loaded
chamber when the firing pin is sticking forward, the pistol may discharge.
WHEN TO CLEAN
You should clean your pistol as soon after firing as possible so that the job will
be easier and there will be less opportunity for corrosion to start. When your
pistol has not been fired, clean it periodically; we suggest once or twice a year
in a temperate climate, or as often as once a month in a tropical climate. If you
carry a loaded pistol, UNLOAD it and clean it at least once a month. If you get
your pistol wet, clean it as soon as possible.
-
The following cleaning procedure may be used both periodically and after firing;
however, those items marked "*,, are unnecessary for periodic cleaning.
SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU
