4.5. Decocking the hammer
If you do not intend to fire immediately, and in order to obtain the most safe
condition, the pistol should be set for double-action shooting which means
that the hammer should be decocked.
If it is necessary to decock the hammer, proceed as follows:
u Point the pistol in a safe direction.
v Without touching the
trigger, push down on the
left or right decocking
lever with your thumb.
As a result, the hammer will
move towards the decocked
position where it is halted
without firing.
During this operation, a
mechanical blockage of the
firing pin takes place.
After this operation, the pistol can still be fired by pulling the trigger.
Firing will require a longer and heavier pull on the trigger.
NEVER TRY TO COCK THE HAMMER BY PULLING THE TRIGGER.
ONLY FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND MILITARY USE !
THE HAMMER CAN BE COCKED MANUALLY BY USING THE THUMB OF
THE SHOOTING HAND SO THAT THE PISTOL CAN BE SET FROM DOUBLE-
ACTION TO SINGLE-ACTION WITHOUT HAVING TO MOVE THE SLIDE (I.E.
WHEN NOISE SUPPRESSION IS AN ISSUE).
