UNLOADING
1. To unload, first remove magazine as in step 1
of previous section.
2. If all of the rounds from the magazine have
been fired, slide will not automatically lock in
the open position. Alway visually check to
see that the chamber is clear.
If magazine is not removed prior to this
procedure, any rounds left in it will be
chambered, which could lead to an unintentional
discharge. The pistol will fire with a round
chambered and the magazine removed.
3. Since the slide does not automatically lock in
the rear-ward position as a result of firing the
last round from the magazine, ypu must rack
the slide completly to the rear and engage the
slide stop manually by pushing upward into the
slide stop knotch. Visually inspect the chamber
to ensure that it is clear.
4. Point the pistol in a safe direction. Release
slide forward onto the empty chamber by
pulling slide fully rearward and releasing or by
manually rotating the slide stop downward past
the slide stop notch. Ease the slide closed.
Repeatedly allowing the slide to slam closed
on an empty chamber will cause premature
wear and loosening on a 1911 such as the
Kimber.
