SPECIAL FEATURE - DECOCKING LEVER
The model you have selected is equipped with a special manual decocking lever
that also allows you to decock (uncock) a cocked pistol without manipulating the
trigger. Conventional thumb decocking procedures are therefore not necessary
and should not be employed with this pistol.
To decock the pistol, point the pistol in a safe dir
ection. Depress the decocking
lever until the hammer drops. The decocking lever first moves the firing pin into
the slide far enough so that the rear end of the firing pin cannot be struck by the
hammer. Only then will continued depression of the decocking lever safely drop
the hammer to an uncocked position (see Figure 1). To return the pistol to firing
condition, simply release the decocking lever (see Figure 2). It will spring
upward to its original position. The pistol is then ready to fire by a “double-
action” pull of the trigger. The hammer can also be manually cocked immediate-
ly before shooting a “single-action” firing. The trigger pull is both shorter and
relatively lighter in the “single-action” mode, which is preferred for more accu-
rate shooting.
Additionally, the pistol has a separate internal firing pin block that will not allow
the firing pin to move forward until the operator pulls the trigger.
Never carry or holster the pistol with the hammer cocked, as a relatively light
pull of the trigger will fire the pistol. When not actually shooting, always imme-
diately decock (uncock) the pistol by use of the decocking lever.
