UNLOADING YOUR PISTOL
When you finish shooting and wish to unload or clear your pistol, follow the following procedure: Remove the mag-
azine. Point the pistol in a safe direction, keeping fingers off the trigger, pull the slide back in one smooth continuous
motion. The cartridge in the chamber will then eject through the side of the slide. Visually inspect to make certain no
other rounds are present in the chamber or magazine area. You may then allow the slide to move forward.
HANDLING A MISFIRE WHILE SHOOTING
In case of a misfire while shooting your firearm, observe the following procedure: Keep firearm pointed at the target
for at least (30) seconds. This will allow adequate time for a delayed cartridge to fire. After at least (30) seconds and
while keeping the pistol pointed in a safe direction, unload the pistol following the unloading your pistol instructions.
Remember to remove the magazine before ejecting the chambered round.
STOP SHOOTING IMMEDIATELY, unload the pistol, and inspect the barrel and pistol firing
mechanism if:
• You have difficulty loading a round into the chamber area or feel unusual resistance.
• A round (cartridge) fails to fire.
• A fired cartridge does not eject.
• A cartridge sounds or feels weak or abnormal.
Continued use under the above conditions may render your pistol unserviceable and dangerous. DO NOT FIRE
ANOTHER CARTRIDGE. Secure the pistol and contact a qualified gunsmith/manufacturer.
