Manual

13
The action of the P-Series pistols is based on a tilting barrel
design that locks the barrel and slide together at the moment
of firing. After firing, the barrel and slide recoil to the rear for
a short distance still locked together. Following this initial
movement, the barrel tilts downward from its locked position,
permitting full recoil of the slide and the extraction and
ejection of the spent cartridge cases.
FUNCTION
ALWAYS REMEMBER, THAT WHEN FIRED,
A SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL RELOADS
AND RECOCKS ITSELF AUTOMATICALLY
AND IS READY TO FIRE AGAIN BY SIMPLY
PRESSING THE TRIGGER. ALWAYS KEEP THE
PISTOL POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
NEVER FORCE A JAMMED ACTION.
TO DO SO MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION THAT
CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
MALFUNCTIONS
1. In any semi-automatic pistol, an unfired cartridge or fired
cartridge case may become jammed between the slide
and barrel.
To clear a jammed cartridge, KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN
A SAFE DIRECTION and remove the magazine. Pull the slide
back and lock it to the rear by engaging the Slide Stop.
Remove the cartridge.
