To engage the Slide Lock Safety you must, while pointing the
pistol in a safe direction with your finger away from the trigger,
pull the slide to its most rearward position and then let it
return all the way forward, freely and with all its force. This
will leave the hammer fully cocked. Then push the Slide Lock
Safety up until it fully engages the Slide Lock Notch (Figure 2).
At this point, the slide is prevented from moving rearward
and an internal cam surface engages the sear to prevent the
hammer from moving forward if the trigger is pressed.
NEVER LEAVE YOUR PISTOL COCKED
AND READY TO FIRE.
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
CONDITION WHICH CAN LEAD TO AN
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE THAT MAY CAUSE
INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
