Always unload your pistol immediately after use and before clean-
ing and storage.
BEFORE PROCEEDING MAKE SURE YOU

totally expended and the slide stop having latched the

the slide back vigorously to extract and eject a round from the

position, this step (Step #2) does not apply.
3. CAUTION:
INSPECT THE CHAMBER AND MAKE SURE
THAT IT IS EMPTY.
