6.3 UNLOADING

WHILE UNLOADING THE PISTOL, ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE

POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND KEEP YOUR FINGERS

AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. IF YOUR PISTOL IS EQUIPPED

WITH A MANUAL SAFETY, THE SAFETY SHOULD BE IN THE

ENGAGED POSITION. WHEN UNLOADING, IT IS VITAL THAT

YOU REMOVE THE MAGAZINE FROM YOUR PISTOL SO THAT

A CARTRIDGE IS NOT CHAMBERED WHEN YOU CLOSE THE

SLIDE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD

RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

1. Press the magazine release and remove the magazine. If the magazine

does not drop out of the pistol, pull on the magazine base plate while

pressing the magazine release (Figure 12).

2. If the slide is closed, pull the slide back and eject the cartridge from

the chamber. Lock the slide to the rear by pressing the slide stop up

and allowing the slide to rest against the slide stop retaining it to the

rear (Figure 13).
