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. If there is a bullet lodged in the bore,
return the pistol to SIGARMS Inc. See instructions on page 15.
Follow the above procedures if:
● You notice that a cartridge is difficult to chamber, or
● A cartridge does not go off, or
● The mechanism fails to extract a fired cartridge case, or
● You discover unburned grains of propellant powder spilled in the mechanism
● A shot sounds or feels weak or abnormal.
WARNING
IF A BULLET IS IN THE BORE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT
OUT BY USING ANOTHER CARTRIDGE, OR BY BLOWING IT OUT
WITH A BLANK OR A CARTRIDGE FROM WHICH THE BULLET
HAS BEEN REMOVED. THIS CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRES-
SURE, DAMAGE THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY.
