Procedure
1. Place round on feeder 49, close to the magazine lips.
2. Press round down and slip it to the rear.
3. Load the number of rounds that you intend to shoot.
Number of inserted rounds can be checked through the holes
of the magazine.
5.5 Loading the pistol (ready to fire)
Never load or unload the pistol inside a vehicle, inside
a building or other confined space (except in a designated
firing range).
Before loading, always wipe off any excess grease and oil
and check that there is no obstruction in the bore of the
barrel 1.
Always keep the muzzle of the pistol pointed in a safe
direction.
Do not place your finger on trigger 19, but outside of the
trigger guard.
Do not load the pistol by inserting the magazine until
immediately before shooting.
Never directly draw back hammer 29 by hand in order to
cock it.
Never rely on safety mechanisms. They are never a
substitute for careful and correct handling of the pistol.
Never let a loaded pistol out of your hands.
Procedure
1. Point the pistol in a safe direction.
2. Insert full magazine 46 and check that it engages.
3. Draw back slide 4 to the stop and allow it to fly forward.
The pistol is loaded and ready to fire with the single
action trigger.
The pistol can then be decocked with decocking lever 38.
Now the pistol is loaded, decocked and ready to fire with
the double action trigger.
The Double Action Only (DAO) pistol is decocked and
ready to fire.
Double Action Only (DAO) pistols do not have a decocking
lever 38. With each cocking or reloading, the hammer 29 C
is caught by the hammer safety notch.
