receiver so that it latches on the magazine catch surface on the front wall of the magazine well.

Next, rotate the bottom of the magazine rearward until the magazine release lever locks onto

the rear locking surface of the magazine. Pull on the magazine lightly to ensure it is securely

locked into position. (See Illustration #10.)

“FIRE” position.

5. Pull back the bolt cocking handle to its fully-rearward position and release. As it moves rapidly

forward under spring pressure, the bolt will strip a round from the magazine and insert it into

the chamber of the barrel, readying the pistol for firing. (See Illustration #11.)

the spring-loaded magazine’s feed lips - rear of the cartridge entering the magazine first.

WARNING! Pulling the trigger when the safety lever is in this lower position will

damage, make sure you know the “SAFE” and “FIRE” positions of the safety lever

before attempting to load your pistol!

To Fire the Pistol

1. Keeping the 10 Commandments of Shooting Safety in mind, aim the pistol downrange at

the target. When firing this pistol you may need to experiment with different shooting styles

until you find the method which best suits your sporting activity. Remember to always fire the

pistol in such a manner that you can maintain a safe muzzle direction at all times.

2. Disengage the safety lever by moving it to the "FIRE" position.
