ENGLISH
Although your STEYR pistol has a feature known as a “load-
ed chamber indicator,” it is a mechanical device, which could fail.
Never solely rely on a loaded chamber indicator or your memory to
know if your STEYR pistol is loaded. Always retract the slide and visu-
ally check to make sure there is not a cartridge in the chamber.
It is possible that a cartridge may be in the chamber when
a loaded magazine is being removed from or inserted into your STEYR
pistol. A cartridge in the chamber will discharge when the trigger is
pulled, whether or not a magazine is in your STEYR pistol. Therefore,
never leave your STEYR pistol unattended, even when the magazine
is removed. You must always verify that the chamber is empty before
field stripping your STEYR pistol for cleaning or any other reason.
To unload your STEYR pistol, follow the instructions below.
To ensure that your STEYR pistol is unloaded, you MUST
follow these steps in these order to ensure that there is no cartridge in
the chamber when you have finished unloading.
