5.5 Loading the pistol (ready to fire)
Procedure:
1. Point the pistol in a safe direction.
2. Insert full magazine and check that it engages.
3. Draw back slide to the stop and allow it to fly
forward.
– The pistol is loaded and ready to fire by
means of 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 pistol (DAO) is
decocked and ready to fire.
Note:
Double Action Only pistols (DAO) do not have a
decocking lever 38.
With each cocking or reloading, the hammer 29 C
is caught by the hammer safety intercept notch.
Checking the load state
The presence of a round in the barrel chamber is
indicated visibly and tangibly by the load
indicator on the gun exterior.
WARNING!
Insufficient awareness of the dangers
May lead to death or severe injuries
• Never load or unload the pistol inside a
vehicle, inside a building or any 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.
• Always keep the muzzle of the pistol pointed
in a safe direction.
• Do not place your finger on the trigger. Place
your finger outside of the trigger guard.
• Do not load the pistol by inserting the
magazine until immediately before shooting.
• Never pull the Hammer 29 back by hand 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.
