4.3. Loading the magazine

As explained in Section 2.3, both 10-round and 16-round magazines

are available.

u If the magazine to be loaded is still in the pistol, press on the

magazine release in order to eject it.

v Load the cartridges, one by one, into the magazine.

Place the cartridge on the wider part of the

upper lips of the magazine and, with the

thumb, push it downward against the force of

the follower spring inside the magazine, and

then backwards until it locks into position.

The openings at the rear side of the magazine

allow you to estimate the number of cartridges

present in the magazine.

The photo represents the 10-round magazine.

IT IS RECOMMENDED ONLY TO LOAD THE NUMBER OF

CARTRIDGES YOU INTEND TO SHOOT. DO NOT INSERT THE

MAGAZINE BACK INTO THE PISTOL NOR LOAD A CARTRIDGE INTO

THE CHAMBER UNLESS SHOOTING IS IMMINENT. NEVER KEEP A

LOADED MAGAZINE NEXT TO THE PISTOL.
