YOUR NEW STI HANDGUN - AMMUNITION
WARNING!
Always keep firearms and ammunition out of the sight of and be-
yond the reach of children. Do not load this or any other firearm
with live ammunition while learning the firearm’s operation.
Before Loading Any Firearm With Ammunition…
• Check your ammunition to be certain that the caliber matches the
caliber of your firearm. Commercially-manufactured ammunition has the
caliber number clearly stamped around the rim at each end of the car-
tridge. Every STI handgun has the firearm’s caliber (or a generic mark-
ing, in the case of the .355 and .400 barrels – see page 9) engraved on the
barrel.
• Do not shoot this firearm if you question the compatibility of the
ammunition you are using. Do not use unmarked or hand-loaded rounds
of unknown origin. Use only clean, dry, original high-quality commer-
cially-manufactured ammunition in good condition.
• Do not use ammunition with split, crushed, or dented casings or bullets
which show sign of damage.
• Remove unfired ammunition from firearms immediately after use and
return to proper storage containers.
• Always keep ammunition away from heat and flame.
STI handguns can be safely fired using factory specification standard
velocity ammunition. STI accepts no responsibility for claims brought
against the company due to any other loads or any loads which do not
meet the safety tolerances endorsed by the Sporting Arms and Ammuni-
tion Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI).
