Handling the Pistol
5.6 Discharging a shot
Ensure that the target and the environment allow shots to
be fired without danger.
When discharging shots, ensure that neither your fingers,
hands or any other part of the body are located in front of,
adjacent to, or over the barrel muzzle or the ejector port.
Never allow other persons to stand beside you where they
might be struck by ejected cartridge cases.
Always wear ear protection and safety glasses when
shooting. Alert bystanders to the importance of wearing ear
protection.
Immediately stop shooting and unload the pistol (see
Sect. 9.1) if you suspect that a round has not been cham-
bered properly, a case is jammed, a bullet is lodged in the
bore, or a discharge sounded or felt weak or abnormal.
Never attempt to dislodge a blockage by firing another
round.
Procedure
1. Aim the pistol at a safe target.
2. Place finger on trigger 19 and pull back trigger 19 to
discharge the shot.
3. Keep the pistol aimed at the target and fire further shots as
required.
4. Remove magazine and unload the pistol (see Sect. 5.8).
If the pistol has been fired until the magazine is empty,
slide 4 will be caught in the open position. If firing is to
continue, reload the pistol (see Sect. 5.7).
After each discharge, Double Action/Single Action pistols
are in the cocked and ready to fire condition.
If you wish to interrupt the shooting session, you must
actuate decocking lever * 38. The pistol is then in the
loaded, decocked and ready to fire condition.
After each discharge, Double Action Only (DAO) pistols are
in the decocked condition and ready to fire with the double
action trigger.
* Not applicable to DAO pistols.
