Transporting Handling
4 Transporting the Pistol
For your own safety and for the safety of others, always
transport the pistol in the unloaded condition, decocked
and under lock (see Sect. 5.8).
Never carry the pistol on your person with a round in the
chamber and the hammer cocked.
Always carry the pistol in such a manner that, should you
fall or otherwise slip, you are able to control the direction of
the muzzle.
Transport the pistol separate from the ammunition.
Ensure that you comply with all regional and national laws
relating to the transport of firearms.
5 Handling the Pistol
5.1 General remarks
For preservation, the pistol is normally delivered with a light
coating of protective grease and oils. Before initial preparation,
the pistol must be stripped, the protective coatings removed
and then relubricated.
5.2 Initial preparation
Procedure
1. Strip the pistol (see Sect. 7.1)
2. Clean and relubricate the pistol (see Sect. 7.2)
3. Assemble the pistol (see Sect. 7.3)
5.3 Ammunition
For your pistol, use only commercial grade ammunition in
the original packaging, which corresponds to the calibre of
the pistol. The correct calibre is stamped on the pistol.
Never use reloaded, “refurbished”, hand-loaded, non-
standard ammunition, or ammunition of a different calibre.
Never use dirty, wet, corroded, bent, damaged or oiled
ammunition.
Never leave ammunition unattended.
