LOADED CHAMBER
INDICATOR
Currently manufactured 945 pistols come with a loaded chamber
indicator. This indicator can be observed by looking at the top of
the slide/ejection port, (Figure 8) noting an opening at the rear of
the barrel hood. By looking into this opening, you can observe
as to whether or not a round is in the firearm’s chamber. You
would see the actual brass or silver colored rim through this
opening if the chamber of the firearm was loaded.
FIGURE 8
INSPECTING YOUR PISTOL CONT’D.
Familiarize yourself with the safety lever on your pistol. When the
safety lever is fully down as shown in figure 5, it is in the "fire"
position; when the safety lever is fully up, as shown in Figure 4,
it is in the "safe" position. It can only be placed in the “safe”
position when the hammer is cocked (Figure 4). When it is in
the “safe” position, the slide is also locked in place and cannot
be moved rearward. Notice how the safety lever looks and feels
in each of the two positions of its extreme travel - fully up for
"safe" and fully down for "fire".
Please be advised that other model or brand pistols
may have a safety or decocking lever that operates
differently.
