UNLOADING
• Point the muzzle in a safe direction. Make sure your finger is
off the trigger and out of the trigger guard. Depress the
magazine release and remove the magazine.
• Keep the muzzle still pointed in a safe direction, and keep
your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard, grasp
the serrated sides of the slide from the rear with the thumb
and fingers, (Figure 11) and briskly draw the slide fully
rearward in order to extract any cartridge from the barrel
chamber and clear it from the pistol.
• Lock the slide in the open position
by allowing the slide to move
slightly forward from the rearmost
position while pressing
upward on the slide stop.
• Do not obstruct the ejection port because doing so can
interfere with ejection of a cartridge. Visually check the barrel
chamber to be sure it is empty.
• Look into the chamber and down through the magazine well.
Verify that no ammunition remains in the pistol.
• 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.
