NOMENCLATURE
Sights have high-visibility
white dots both front and
rear. Both sights can be
adjusted for windage.
Frame is a rigid one-piece
polyurethane grip frame
reinforced with long glass fiber.
Double-action mechanism and strongly curved
trigger provide that cocking and firing can be
accomplished with a single pull of the trigger.
Oversize trigger guard permits
shooting with gloved hand.
The magazine latch permits positive
retention and quick removal of magazine.
Slide stop holds the slide
open and is activated
automatically when last shot
is fired (if magazine is in
pistol), or can be manually
operated.
Slide’s open-top design minimizes
possibility of jamming, enables shooter to
clear any malfunction easily by hand.
Grooved, exposed hammer
spur enables the shooter to
cock the hammer easily for
accurate single-action
firing if desired.
To decock the pistol, depress the
decocking lever until the
hammer drops. This action
moves the firing pin forward
into the slide. This temporarily
places the firing pin out of reach
of the hammer stroke and locks
the firing pin in a neutral
position, preventing it from
moving toward the cartridge.

The Magazine Disconnect is
designed to prevent the pistol from
being fired when the magazine is
removed, even if a live round
remains in the firing chamber.
Loaded Chamber Indicator
protrudes from the top of the slide
and provides a visual indication
when a round is present in the
firing chamber. (Shown here in
non-protruding position.)
Internal Lock can be
used to lock the
decocking lever in the
depressed (down)
position by use of a key-
operated locking device.
(See “Special Feature –
Decocking Lever,” p. 11.)
The Accessory Rail (unavailable
on some models) accepts most
lights and sighting devices
designed to fit the M1913
Picatinny Standard Rail.
RELEASING EITHER
DECOCKING LEVER WILL
ALLOW THE LEVERS TO
SPRING UPWARD TO
THEIR ORIGINAL
POSITION, PLACING THE
PISTOL IN A READY TO
FIRE CONDITION.
