Manual

1. With an empty magazine in the fi rearm, pull
the slide back until the slide stop engages
the slide stop notch, locking the slide open.
2. To remove the empty magazine, place your
left hand under the grip. With the right
thumb, press the magazine release button
located on the left side of the frame behind
the trigger. This will allow the magazine to
fall free from the magazine well.
3. To load the magazine, place a cartridge at
the top (open end) and then push it down
and back, making sure that the rear of the
cartridge is facing the rear of the magazine.
Repeat until the magazine is fully loaded.
NOTE
Fully seat the top round
and can cause misfi res. To help reduce the
chance of this happening, do not allow oil or
solvent to remain in the fi ring pin channel,
on the breech face or inside the magazine.
Read through the entire manual before
attempting to use this product. Safe
operation of this fi rearm is your obligation,
and requires that you completely read and
understand this manual in its entirety.
Do not use +P+ ammunition because its
pressures could exceed SAAMI maximums
and result in an unsafe condition that may
cause death, serious injury or property
damage.
NOTE
Although this Kimber fi rearm is capable
of functioning with +P ammunition in
the appropriate caliber for the fi rearm, a
steady diet of +P ammunition may affect
the wear characteristics, shorten the
life and endurance of your fi rearm, and
necessitate more frequent maintenance
and replacement of parts. Do not use +P+
ammunition.
Loading
Keep the muzzle pointed in safe direction and
follow the rules of safe fi rearm handling and
all safety procedures at all times. Practice
these steps with an unloaded fi rearm or dummy
ammunition until you are completely familiar
and comfortable with all procedures. Use live
ammunition only when prepared to shoot. Only
use clean, dry and high-quality factory-fresh
ammunition in the fi rearm, of the proper caliber,
that meets industry performance standards.
NEVER TOUCH THE TRIGGER WHEN LOADING OR
UNLOADING THE FIREARM.
