LOADING THE PISTOL
Keep pistol pointed in a safe direction and keep your index
finger outside the trigger guard when doing this procedure.
When pistol is clear and empty of shells or cartridges, insert the
loaded magazine into the magazine well with bullets pointing
forward. Push the magazine firmly home until magazine catch is
heard to click ensuring it is locked in place.
When you are ready to shoot, grip and pull the slide at its
serrated finger grips rearward to fully cock the hammer.
Releasing the slide effects the feeding of the first cartridge of the
magazine into the chamber.
YOU ARE NOW LOADED, COCKED AND READY TO FIRE.
Push up the safety lock with your thumb into the SAFE position.
When you are ready to shoot, push the safety lock down with
your thumb into the FIRE position, make sure your target is in
your sights, put your index finger on the trigger and squeeze the
trigger. Do not pull on the trigger as this cause your aim to go bad
with the unnecessary jerking motion.
After the first round is fired, ease off on your finger on the trigger
to release it making it ready for you to fire the next round.
Repeating this sequence will eventually empty the magazine
and when that happens, the slide will remain at the rear of the
frame with the slide stop holding it back at the rear.
Keep in mind that the pistol is still loaded and point the muzzle
in a safe direction and take your finger off the trigger and
outside the trigger guard.
