Unloading
To unload the firearm, engage the safety, push
in the magazine catch, remove the magazine,
and pull the operating handle fully back to eject
the round in the chamber. Do not obstruct the
ejector port and keep fingers away from
trigger and muzzle. With the operating handle
fully held back, push up on the bolt stop and
slowly release the operating handle, the bolt
should stay open. Visually inspect the chamber
to make sure it is empty. Pull back on the
operating handle to release the bolt stop and
release the operating handle to close the
chamber. Push the remaining cartridges in the
magazine forward and out.
Loading
To load, fill the magazine by pressing a
cartridge downward on the front of the
magazine follower, (or downward on the front
of previously loaded cartridge) and then back
towards the rear of the magazine. Continue
loading until you have loaded the number of
cartridges you wish to load, up to the normal
magazine capacity of 27 rounds, unless noted
differently on your magazine. Do not attempt
to load your magazine with more than the
specified number of rounds. Doing so can
damage the magazine and can cause a feeding
malfunction. Before inserting a loaded
magazine always tap the back of the magazine
against a hard surface two or three times in
order to properly seat all the cartridges to the
rear of the magazine.
With the firearm’s safety engaged, hold the
pistol in one hand with the muzzle pointing in a
safe direction and with your finger off the
trigger and outside the trigger guard. Insert the
loaded magazine into the grip until it is locked in
place. You may need to press and hold the
magazine catch in to make insertion easier.
Check to assure that the magazine is secure.
Pull the operating handle back and release.
This strips a round from the magazine and
seats it in the barrel chamber.
If you wish to restore the magazine in your
firearm to full capacity, press the magazine
catch and remove the magazine to load the
missing round. Remember to keep the safety
engaged and your pistol pointed in a safe
direction under all conditions and always keep
your finger off the trigger and outside the
trigger guard until ready to fire. Never insert a
live cartridge by hand into the chamber and
slam the bolt closed, doing so could cause the
round to discharge.
