TO UNLOAD
WARNING: This sequence must be followed exactly as outlined. Failure to do so can
result in the chamber being unintentionally loaded with a live cartridge!
1. The muzzle of the pistol must be pointing in a safe direction at all times, and
fingers should be outside of the trigger guard.
2. Remove the magazine from the pistol by pushing in on the magazine latch.
REMEMBER that even though the magazine has been removed, a live round
remaining in the chamber can still be fired (see “Unloading Warning,” above).
3. Hold the pistol firmly and grasp the slide. Retract the slide to its rearmost position
briskly to extract and eject any chambered cartridge. Always double check visually
that the chamber, breech-face, and the interior of the frame are clear of any live
rounds. When the slide is fully retracted, push upward on the slide hold open, then
allow the slide to move forward until it comes to rest with the rear projection of
the slide hold open resting in the notch on the lower left side of the slide.
REMOVING MAGAZINE
DOES NOT UNLOAD CHAMBER
WARNING - UNLOADING
Removing the magazine does not unload pistol! To
unload, first remove magazine, then pull slide to rear,
eject chambered cartridge, and visually inspect
chamber to be sure it is empty. Always point the
pistol in a safe direction when loading or unloading.
Removing the magazine should prevent the pistol
from firing – but never rely on this or any other
mechanical safety device to justify careless handling
of any firearm.
