THIS IS A SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL THAT
WHEN FIRED, AUTOMATICALLY RELOADS AND
RECOCKS ITSELF AND IS READY TO FIRE AGAIN
SIMPLY BY PULLING THE TRIGGER.
4. Immediately following the firing of a shot, and if a
subsequent shot is not to be fired at once, apply the
Slide Lock Safety by pushing it into the slide lock notch.
However, if the last round has already been fired from
the magazine the slide will be locked to the rear with the
engagement of the Slide Stop and the Slide Lock Safety
cannot be applied.
5. WITH PISTOL POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION, unload
as previously described in section on “UNLOADING.”
Proper periodic maintenance is essential to the reliable
functioning of any firearm. The service life and performance
of the pistol depend upon correct handling and proper care.
All firearms require periodic maintenance and inspection
which may reveal a need for adjustment or repair.
You should clean your pistol as soon after firing as possible
and where your pistol has not been fired it should still be
cleaned periodically. Have your firearm checked by a
competent gunsmith annually, even if no functioning
problem exists, since some potential problems may not
be apparent from external examination of the pistol.
If the pistol gets wet, or is exposed to sand or other foreign
matter, have it cleaned as soon as possible.
