WARNING: NEVER USE AMMUNITION NOT SPECIF-
ICALLY DESIGNATED FOR USE IN YOUR FIREARM.
FAILURE TO USE THE CORRECT TYPE OR CAL-
IBER OF AMMUNITION MAY CAUSE THE FIREARM
TO JAM, FAIL TO FIRE OR EVEN GENERATE EXCESSIVE
PRESSURE WHICH CAN DAMAGE OR EVEN RUPTURE
YOUR FIREARM, CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Locate the caliber designation marked on
the firearm. This information indicates the
ammunition caliber that must be used in
this firearm. (See figure #1).
You are responsible for selecting ammunition that meets industry
standards and is appropriate in type and caliber for this firearm.
Never use a cartridge not specifically designated for use in your
firearm. Pressure from the wrong type of ammunition may
exceed the capability of your firearm and may damage or even
rupture your firearm.
Never mix ammunition.
In some cases, a round of ammunition not specified on your
firearm may fit into the chamber. Firing ammunition not specified
on your firearm may cause it to rupture and cause serious injury
or death to you or others.
Always inspect your ammunition before using it. Never use dirty,
corroded or damaged ammunition which can lead to a burst car-
tridge which may cause damage to the firearm and personal
injury or death.
Use only commercially manufactured ammunition with internal
ballistic pressures which are in strict accordance with the specifi-
cations of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’
Institute (SAAMI). If you are uncertain, contact your ammunition
supplier for verification.
Note: Use of steel jacketed ammunition in the M&P Rifle Series
may cause malfunctions.
