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 (see
pages 11 & 12) 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
14.
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, or
• A shot sounds or feels weak or abnormal.
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.
WARNING
This pistol is capable of firing,
even when the magazine has
been removed, if the trigger
is pulled.
