5.4 Loading the pistol (ready for firing)
• Never load or unload the pistol inside a vehicle, inside
a building or any other enclosed space (except in a
designated firing range).
• Before loading always wipe off any excess grease and
oil and check to see if there are any foreign objects/
material in the barrel.
• Allows keep the muzzle of the pistol pointed in a safe
direction.
• Do not put your finger on the trigger. Keep your finger
outside the trigger guard.
• Load the pistol by pushing in the magazine only direct-
ly before firing.
• Never pull the hammer back by hand, but rather with
the slide to cock it so that unintentional firing is pre-
vented.
• Never rely on the safety mechanisms alone. Safety
mechanisms are not a substitute for careful and
correct handling the pistol.
• Never let a loaded pistol out of your hand.
Procedure:
1. Point pistol in a safe direction.
2. Insert full magazine and ensure that it is fully engaged.
3. Pull slide back until stop and allow to fly forward.
• The pistol is loaded and ready for firing with the single
action trigger.
Warning
• The pistol can now be decocked using the decocking
lever. It is then loaded, decocked and ready for firing
with the double action trigger.
• The pistol is decocked and ready for firing.
5.5 Firing
• Ensure that the target and surroundings allow shots to
be fired without danger.
• Be certain when firing that your fingers, hands or other
parts of the body are not in front of, above or beside
the barrel muzzle or the ejector port.
• Never allow a third person to stand next to you where
they could be hit by ejected cartridge cases.
• When shooting, always wear ear protection and
protective eye glasses. Inform other people close to
you about the need to wear ear protection.
• Interrupt shooting immediately and unload the pistol
if you suspect that a round is not inserted correctly,
a case is jammed, a round may have blocked the barrel
or a shot sounds or gives the sensation that it may be
“weak” or unusual.
• Never try to dislodge a blockage by firing another
round.

5 Handling the pistol
5.1 General
The pistol is generally delivered preserved with a thin,
protective grease and oil coating and must be stripped
before being used for the first time, protective oil or
grease removed and lubricated again.
“First use“ (see pistol maintenance).
Procedure:
1. Strip pistol (see section 6.1).
2. Clean and relubricate pistol (see section 6.2).
3. Assemble pistol (see section 6.3).
5.2 Ammunition
• For your pistol, use only commercial grad ammunition
in its original packing for which corresponds with the
caliber of the pistol. The correct caliber is imprinted on
the pistol.
• Never use reloaded, “refurbished”, hand-loaded, non-
standard ammunition or ammunition of a different caliber.
• Never use dirty, wet, corroded, bent, damaged or oiled
ammunition.
• Never leave the ammunition lying unattended.
Warning
Information:
The .22 ammunition spectrum ranges from very light
loads for single loader guns to sport load, utility load and
on through to high speed rounds. Unfortunately, how-
ever, it is not possible to adjust a semi-automatic gun to
all loads. We have therefore decided to make an adjust-
ment to the loads that have priority for use with the
MOSQUITO, which are the two major groups, utility and
high-speed rounds. So to increase the round compatibi-
lity, we provide two slide springs for every pistol. The
bigger bored version is designed for high-speed loads
and is fitted in the pistol with delivery. The simple coiled
smaller spring (marked white) is for standard loads and
is supplied with the pistol.
Tip:
It has been proven that many types of utility rounds func-
tion more smoothly if the rounds are lightly oiled.
Caution: Never oil high-speed rounds, as the pistol can
unbolt too quickly while shooting.
5.3 Loading the magazine
Procedure:
1. Place load on feeder close to the magazine lips.
2. Push the side lock on the magazine down.
3. Only load the number of rounds that are to be shot
(max.10 rounds).
The number of inserted rounds can be determined
through the slot on the magazine.
