WARNING - UNLOADING
So that the pistol can be used as a single loader, it
will fire whether or not a magazine is in the gun if
a cartridge is chambered. Removing 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.
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. Decock the pistol by depress-
ing the decocking lever until the hammer drops (See Figure 1, p. 7).
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 visually
double check 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 stop, then allow the slide to move forward until it comes to rest with the
rear projection of the slide stop resting in the notch on the lower left side of
the slide.
4. To close the slide, again check to be sure the chamber and breech-face are
empty. Pull the slide to its rearmost postion and release it. The slide will snap
forward. Keep fingers out of ejection port on top of slide!
5. If the magazine contains cartridges, they can be removed by sliding each
cartridge forward and out of magazine, one at a time, until the magazine is
empty.
6. Push empty (unloaded) magazine into frame until magazine latch locks it in
place.
GUN WILL FIRE WITH MAGAZINE OUT
