To release the slide when no magazine is in the pistol and the slide is
locked rearward, pull the slide to the rear to disengage the slide stop to
allow the slide to return to the forward position. You may also press
downward on the ambidextrous slide stop to release the slide.
10. LOADED CHAMBER
INDICATOR
The loaded chamber indicator is
located at the right side of the slide
just behind the ejection port. If it is
protruding and showing a red
marking, this means that there is a
cartridge in the chamber (Figure 7).

RED COLOR ALONE TO
INDICATE IF YOUR FIREARM IS LOADED. TIME, EXPOSURE
TO THE ELEMENTS, AND THE ABRASIVE ACTION OF
CLEANING AGENTS CAN ERASE IT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
