4.5. Firing
Before firing, read the entire Owner’s Manual : warnings and instructions are
different for each pistol.
It is assumed that the rear sight has been adjusted correctly (also refer to
§ 4.2).
Ensure that § 5.4.1. “Cleaning and lubrication before firing” has been carried
out.
❖
If not already done, load the pistol as described in § 4.4.
❖
Pointing the pistol in a safe direction, and using the right or left
safety lever, set the manual safety at the (lower) ‘fire’ position.
When firing, the slide will move approx. 3/4” past the rear end of the
frame : never hold your hand in a position where it could be hit by the
slide and never hold the pistol close to the eyes when aiming !!
❖
While aiming the pistol,
pull the trigger to fire the
first round.
The Five-seveN
®
pistol is a
single-action pistol resulting
in a rather light and short
trigger pull.
After firing a shot, release the trigger so that it resets to the forward
position.
