Manual

UNLOADING

•Point the muzzle in a safe direction. Make sure your finger is

off the trigger and out of the trigger guard. Verify that the

manual safety is in the safe (up) position. Depress the

magazine release, and remove the magazine (Figure 9).

With the muzzle still pointing in a safe direction, and with your

finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard, grasp the

sides of the slide from the rear with the thumb and fingers,

and briskly draw the slide fully rearward in order to extract

any cartridge from the barrel chamber and clear it from the

pistol. Do not obstruct the ejection port because doing so

can interfere with ejection of a cartridge and thereby creates

the risk of exploding an unchambered cartridge and possible

injury (Figure 10.

•Unload the magazine by holding it with the bullet end of the

cartridge pointing away from you and pressing each cartridge

forward and out of the magazine.
