a result of slow primer ignition (hangfire), keep
muzzle pointed downrange for a minimum of
30
seconds. If the round does not fire, remove the mag-
azine, clear the weapon and examine the ejected,
unfired cartridge. If the indentation from the firing
pin is off center, light or absent, take the pistol to a
competent gunsmith. If the indent appears normal
compared to other rounds, assume the round is
faulty, separate it from the other cartridges, reload
and continue shooting.
Never use this pistol in any manner other than that
for which it was specifically intended.
Never indulge in
“horseplay” while holding any
firearm.
AMMUNITION
1. Use only high-quality, original U.S. factory-manu-
factured ammunition. Don’t oil cartridges. Don’t
spray aerosol lubricants or cleaners directly onto
your cartridges, or where excess spray may flow into
contact with them. Lubricants or other foreign mat-
ter on cartridges can cause potentially dangerous
ammunition malfunction. Use onlv ammunition of
the caliber for which your firearm is chambered. The
proper caliber is engraved on the barrel; never try to
use any other caliber.
2. The use of reloaded, “remanufactured:’ aluminum
cased, hand-loaded or other non-standard ammuni-
tion voids all warranties. Reloading is a science and
improperly loaded ammunition can be dangerous.
Severe damage to the pistol and serious injury to the
shooter or to others may result. Always use ammuni-
tion that complies with the industry performance
standards established by the Sporting Arms and
Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. of the
United States (SAAMI).
