WARNING - FIRING
6. If the pistol is not to be used immediately, the magazine should be removed
and the chamber unloaded.
7. The pistol is ready for instant use. When the pistol is in the “semi-cocked”
mode, the first shot can be fired double-action by pulling the trigger all the
way to the rear, which fully cocks and releases the hammer and then fires the
pistol. Subsequent shots are fired in the same way by releasing and then
pulling the trigger until the magazine is empty, the hammer being semi-
cocked by the slide as it recoils from each shot. After a shot is fired the
trigger must be allowed to move fully forward. If the trigger is pulled before
the trigger mechanism fully resets (two “clicks”) the hammer may or may not
fire the cartridge.
8. Immediately following the firing of a shot, and if a subsequent shot is not to
be fired at once, remove the magazine and lock the slide back using the
manual hold open. Be sure the chamber is empty. If the slide is shut, the
shooter should always assume that there is a cartridge in the chamber! Don’t
rely on your memory to know if a gun or magazine is loaded. Visually inspect
the magazine and chamber.
SLIDE OPENS FAST -
HOT BRASS EJECTED
The slide automatically opens and shuts
quickly while firing. Keep face and hands
away from rear. Hot brass is ejected
quickly and can burn you. Always wear
shooting glasses and hearing protection.
