ALTERNATIVE METHOD II –

TO RENDER THE PISTOL INOPERATIVE FOR SAFE STORAGE

With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, remove the magazine, retract the

slide, and check the chamber to be sure the pistol is completely unloaded! Keep

the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, and press upward on the slide stop. Insert

a finger into the action and press the ejector assembly fully forward. Next, pull

the slide stop pin out the left side of the pistol frame until it is withdrawn

completely out of the frame. Now remove the slide and barrel assembly by sliding

it forward off the front of the frame. (See Disassembly instructions, pp. 22 - 24.)

Store the pistol’s frame and the barrel/slide assembly in different locations. When

disassembled in this manner, this pistol is inoperable. It is impossible to fire the

pistol until the barrel/slide assembly and frame have been correctly reassembled.

To reassemble the pistol for firing, carefully slide the barrel/slide assembly onto

the frame. Align the disassembly marks on the frame and slide, and then push

the slide stop pin fully into the receiver from the left. Either reinsert an empty

magazine or lock the slide open and push the ejector back upward and rearward

with a finger. The pistol is now reassembled and can be loaded and fired

normally.

While the pistol is less likely to be used by unauthorized persons when

disassembled in the above manner, it is always safest to store any firearm with

the supplied locking device correctly installed, or to store the firearm in a gun

safe or other secure location away from children and unauthorized adults.

Guns should always be stored securely, unloaded

and separate from their

ammunition.

Never place or store any firearm in

such a manner that it may be

dislodged. Firearms should always be

stored securely and unloaded, away

from children and careless adults. Use

the locking device originally supplied

with this firearm for storage.

The use of a locking device or safety

lock is only one aspect of responsible

firearms storage. For increased safety,

firearms should be stored unloaded and

locked in a location that is both

separate from their ammunition and

inaccessible to children and any other

unauthorized person.
