2.5.1 Loaded Chamber Viewport

The CREED comes with a loaded chamber viewport

(2.5.1 Fig. 1). This viewport can be observed by looking

at the top of the ejection port, noting an opening at the

rear of the barrel hood. By looking into this opening, you

can observe whether or not a round is in the barrel’s

chamber. If a round is in the chamber, you should be

able to see the actual cartridge rim through this opening.

CAUTION Always treat every firearm as if it were loaded and ready to fire if the

trigger is squeezed. Do not rely upon the loaded chamber viewport to

verify the presence of absence of a round in the chamber. The surest

method to determine the presence or absence of ammunition is to check

the chamber of the firearm by removing the magazine and locking the

slide in the open position.

CAUTION The amount of light, cleanliness of the pistol, discoloration of the ammu-

nition and other factors may limit the effectiveness of the loaded cham-

ber viewport.

After first checking that the magazine has been removed, pull the slide back

until you can look into the chamber and verify whether it is empty or not.

2.5.2 Magazine Release

The magazine release is on the side of the grip.

Removing the magazine:

Grasp the pistol with your finger off the trigger and out-

side the trigger guard. Depress the magazine release

and remove the magazine from the pistol (2.5.2 Fig. 1).
