Caution:
You will have observed by cocking the pistol
the slide moves rearward about one inch past the rear
of the frame. In shooting, neither hand should be in
a position where it could be hit by the slide in its
rearward movement
NOR SHOULD UNORTHO-
DOX SIGHTING METHODS BE USED WHERE
THE PISTOL IS HELD CLOSE TO THE EYE.
*See handling precautions at the beginning of this booklet.
UNLOADING
THE
PISTOL
To remove the cartridge remaining in the chamber,
raise the thumb "safety*" lever to its "on safe"
position and withdraw the magazine from the pistol.
Then move the "safety*" to the off safe position
and slowly pull rearward on the slide to extract and
eject the cartridge from the chamber. Inspect the
action and chamber to be sure that a live cartridge
does not remain in the pistol.

With the magazine removed, the Stop Open Latch
must be raised manually to hold the slide open.

SIGHTS
The Challenger
I1
is equipped with a precision rear
sight which is screw adjustable for elevation and drift
adjustable for windage.
To raise the point of impact, turn the eleva-

.
tion screw located just behind the rear sight
in a clockwise direction. To lower, turn the
elevation screw in a counter-clockwise direc-
tion (Fig.
2).

handling precautions at the beginning of this booklet.
shot
is
fired, the Stop Open Latch automatically
holds the slide in its open or rearward position.
During reloading, it is recommended that you re-
move the empty magazine, inspect the chamber to
be sure it's empty, then close the slide and place the
manual thumb "safety*" in the "on safe" position.
By inserting the loaded magazine with the slide
closed, there is
no
danger
of inadvertently tripping
the Stop Open Latch and feeding a live cartridge into
the chamber from the loaded magazine.

Automatic Pistol
To move the point of impact right or left, the
rear sight must be moved a very slight amount
in its dovetail slot. This accomplished by
lightly tapping the rear sight in its dovetail in
the same direction you want the bullet impact
to move.
A
small wood dowel or comparable
non-metallic object should be used to bear
against the sight during tapping to avoid mar-
ring the finish (Fig.
2).
1
Remove the magazine. Draw the slide rear-
ward and lock open with stop open latch.
Visually inspect the chamber to be certain it
is empty.

Located under the barrel on the front of the
frame
is
the barrel mounting screw. Loosen
this screw until it becomes disengaged from
