Congratulations You are now the owner of one of the world's finest and most superbly engineered firearms. The SIG SAUER® Semiautomatic Pistol has been designed and crafted to meet the stringent requirements of law enforcement agencies and the military. Used with the proper ammunition and given reasonable maintenance, it will serve you dependably and well for many years. To make sure you get the best performance and reliability from your pistol, please read and follow the procedures outlined in this manual.
Safety Information Before you take your new SIG SAUER pistol out of the box, please read the following information. It is vital to your safety and the safety of others. Firearms safety is your responsibility PISTOLS are classified as FIREARMS and are sold by us with the specific understanding that we are not responsible in any manner whatsoever for their safe handling or resale under local laws and regulations. SIGARMS Inc.
The Ten Commandments of Firearms Safety 1. ALWAYS treat every gun as if it were loaded. 2. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. 3. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. 4. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. 5. ALWAYS be sure the gun is safe to operate and the barrel is clear of any obstruction. 6. ALWAYS use the proper, factory-made ammunition for your particular gun. 7. ALWAYS know your target and what is beyond it. 8.
Principal Features We've designed the automatic firing pin lock to provide additional safety with the hammer in either the cocked or decocked position. You can fire the pistol only by pulling the trigger. The double-action feature and the absence of manual safeties make it easier for you to get off a quick first shot. A decocking lever* allows you to lower the cocked hammer safely into the safety intercept notch without your touching the trigger.
Ammunition Your SIG SAUER pistol will function effectively and safely with a wide variety of commercial and military-standard ammunition. Here are some suggestions that will help you keep your pistol free from ammunition-related problems: WARNING Using the wrong ammunition could result in serious injury or death. Catastrophic damage could occur. 1. Use only ammunition of the caliber for which your pistol is chambered. The right caliber is permanently engraved on your pistol. 2.
Firearms Handling You have the pistol and the ammo, and you've read and understood all the safety instructions. You know about decocking the pistol by using the decocking lever (which doesn't apply if you have the DAO). Now, you're ready to use the pistol. Removing the magazine Remove the magazine by pressing the magazine catch. Retracting the slide Draw back the slide, and engage it by pushing up the slide catch lever. Loading the magazine 1. Press down on the magazine follower with the cartridge case rim.
Troubleshooting Firearms work reliably if properly maintained. If there is a malfunction during firing, here's what to do: 1. Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction with your finger off the trigger. 2. Remove and secure the magazine. 3. Move the slide rearward and forward to clear any cartridge case in or near the chamber. 4. If you suspect that a bullet is lodged in the bore, field strip your pistol and check to see if the barrel is blocked.
Troubleshooting Guide Malfunction Cause Correction Feed: No round fed into the chamber Magazine not properly inserted or magazine is deformed or dirty Insert magazine properly or change magazine Slide does not close easily or completely Pistol or cartridge is fouled (dirty) or pistol is too heavily lubricated Clean and lubricate pistol and /or replace the ammunition Pistol requires service Return to SIGARMS Insufficient recoil due to dirt Clean and lubricate the pistol Light hold or limp wrist
Field Stripping Before you take the pistol apart, make sure it's unloaded. This is essential for your safety and the safety of others. Field strip the pistol as follows: 43 51 Figure A ● Press the magazine catch (43). Remove the magazine (51). 4 18 16 Figure B ● ● ● Pull back the slide (4) as far as it will go and hold it in the open position by pushing up the slide catch lever (18) with your thumb. Check carefully to ensure that the chamber is empty and the magazine well is clear.
1 18 15 Figure C ● 4 Pull back the slide (4) slightly to disengage the slide catch lever (18). Hold the slide firmly and allow it to glide forward gently. Now slip the complete assembly, comprising slide (4), barrel (1), recoil spring and guide, forward and off the frame (15). 2&3 Figure D ● Remove the recoil spring (3) and guide (2), taking care to control the release of spring tension while pointing the assembly away from your body and in a safe direction.
Assemble the pistol as follows: Insert the barrel (1) into the slide (4); fit the recoil spring (3) and guide (2) into place. If the recoil spring and guide were separated during stripping, ensure that the narrower end of the spring is slipped over the guide first. During spring compression, point the assembly away from your body. Slip the assembled slide system onto the frame (15) until it contacts the end stop, and hold it in place with the slide catch lever (18). Now, push up the take-down lever (16).
Caring for your Pistol WARNING BEFORE PERFORMING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE, MAKE SURE THE PISTOL IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. THIS INCLUDES THE MAGAZINE AND CHAMBER. Follow these instructions and your SIG SAUER pistol will remain in excellent condition even after years of hard service. NOTE: Your SIG SAUER pistol comes from the factory with a light coating of protective grease and oils. Before you fire the pistol, you should disassemble, clean and lubricate it as recommended on this page.
Transport and Storage When transporting your pistol, keep it unloaded for your safety and for the safety of others. Know and comply with all laws governing the transport of firearms in your locality. When storing your pistol, keep it separated from ammunition, under lock and key and out of the reach of children and other inexperienced or unauthorized persons. Returning your Firearm When you return a pistol to the SIGARMS Inc. Service Department, here's what to do: 1.
Sights The SIG SAUER pistol is equipped with drift adjustable fixed sights which have proven their worth under severe conditions. The sights consist of a rear sight and a front sight blade, designed and dimensioned to ensure rapid target acquisition even when visibility is poor. You can adjust the sights as follows: Windage: Change windage by moving the rear sight either to the left or right in its dovetail.
