Manual

When the magazine has been emptied, the slide stop (41) engages the slide and

holds it open, thus serving as an indicator to remind the shooter that the empty magazine

must be replaced by a loaded one.

Pressing down the slide stop will depress the magazine follower and permit the

slide to go forward. If a loaded magazine is inserted before the slide stop is depressed,

this forward motion of the slide will load the firing chamber, leaving the pistol ready for

inmediate action.

SAFETIES

A thumb safety (36) is provided, which when at its topmost position, positively locks

the hammer and slide.

TO DISASSEMBLE THE PISTOL FOR CLEANING PURPOSES

First, check to be sure that there is no cartridge left in the firing chamber. Depress

the magazine catch button (29) on the left side of the pistol back of the trigger, and

withdraw magazine.

Push the recoil spring plug (84) below the barrel muzzle inward with the index finger

of the right hand (or butt of magazine) far enough to permit the barrel bushing (78)

which locks the barrel to be turned to the right until the plug goes forward under

the tension of the recoil spring. (Care should be taken not to let the plug to jump

away). (See fig. 3 and 4).
