Inspection and Maintenance

Even the best of firearms, like fine automobiles, require periodic maintenance

and inspection. This may reveal a need for adjustment or repair. Even if your

pistol seems to be working well, don't take chances...have it checked annually

by a competent gunsmith or armorer.

If you notice any mechanical malfunction, STOP using the firearm. UNLOAD

it and take it to a competent gunsmith or armorer immediately for a thorough

examination. Similarly, if water, sand, or other debris enters the mechanism,

field strip the pistol immediately and thoroughly clean it. Failure to keep your

pistol clean and in proper working order could lead to serious bodily injury or

property damage.

WARNING

Always use the decocking lever to decock your SIG SAUER pistol.

This is the only way to safely lower the hammer from the cocked position

and prevent an accidental discharge.

This warning applies to all pistols with decocking levers. The ONLY

way to safely lower the hammer is by use of the decocking lever.

Never lower the hammer by pulling the trigger and attempting to ease

the hammer forward manually. Manually lowering the hammer is danger-

ous and prevents full application of the pistol's safety features.

The decocking lever is the only proper means of lowering the ham-

mer and assuring that the hammer rests in the intercept notch.

Again, DO NOT THUMB THE HAMMER DOWN: the consequence

can be serious injury or death - only and ALWAYS use the

decocking lever!
