Owner’s Manual 2009

4.3. Loading the magazine

As explained in § 2.3, the magazines supplied with the pistol have a capacity of

10 or 20 rounds.

❖

If the magazine to be loaded is still in the pistol, first set the

manual safety at the (raised) ‘safe’ position and then press the

magazine catch in order to eject the magazine.

❖

Load the rounds, one by one, into the magazine.

Place the round on top of the lips of the

magazine and with the rear of the

cartridge aligned with the rear of the

magazine.

With the thumb, push down on the round

(against the force of the spring) until it

locks into position under the lips of the

magazine.

The side openings in the magazine body

allow you to estimate the number of rounds

present in the magazine.

It is recommended only to load the number of rounds you intend to

shoot. Do not insert the magazine back into the pistol nor load a

round into the chamber unless shooting is imminent. Never keep a

loaded magazine next to the pistol.

For law enforcement and military personnel, refer to the procedures

of your department on carrying a loaded pistol with a round in the

chamber.
