16.2. UNLOADING THE MAGAZINE
1. Depress the ambidextrous magazine release and remove the magazine.
2. Unload the pistol and place it in a safe condition as detailed in
Section 16.1.
3. Strip the cartridges from the magazine by pushing forward on the rim
of the top cartridge and sliding each cartridge out, one at a time, as
each moves up in the magazine until the magazine is empty. Repeat
this procedure with all loaded magazines.
17. CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
BEFORE PERFORMING CLEANING PROCEDURES, MAKE SURE
THE PISTOL IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED (SECTION 16).
ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION
AND, IF SO EQUIPPED, PLACE THE MANUAL SAFETY LEVER IN
THE ON SAFE POSITION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN DISASSEMBLING, ASSEMBLING
AND CLEANING YOUR PISTOL AND MAGAZINE TO PREVENT
SPRING-LOADED PARTS, SOLVENTS OR OTHER AGENTS FROM
CONTACTING YOUR EYES, RESULTING IN INJURY.
KEEP ALL AMMUNITION AWAY FROM THE CLEANING AREA.
NEVER TEST THE MECHANICAL FUNCTION OF YOUR PISTOL
WITH LIVE AMMUNITION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
NOTICE! NEVER SOAK YOUR FIREARM IN HYDROCARBONS,
AMMONIA, TRICHLOROETHYLENE OR TEFLON-BASED
LUBRICANTS AS THEY CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR PISTOL.
Your pistol will function better and more reliably over a longer period of
time if it is properly maintained and kept clean.
