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:
1. Use only ammunition of the caliber for which your pistol is chambered. The
right caliber is permanently engraved on your pistol; if you use another caliber
ammunition, it may cause serious personal injury and damage your pistol.
2. Use only clean, dry, undamaged new factory-manufactured ammunition.
Always use ammunition that complies with the performance standards estab-
lished by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute, Inc. of the
United States (SAAMI).
3. Keep your cartridges free of oil. Wipe the chamber clean of any oil or preser-
vative before you shoot. Oil in the chamber creates dangerous stresses. Always
apply any lubricant sparingly.
WARNING
Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or
handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other substances
known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious physical
injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands thoroughly
after exposure.
