• Never pull the trigger if the slide does not fully close to prevent a possible out of bat-

tery firing. If this happens, unload the iP1 pistol as described in Chapter 19, examine

the round that was in the chamber, and check the chamber to ensure that there are no

obstructions or debris in it.

• Always wear safety glasses when firing the iP1 pistol to protect your eyes.

• Always wear ear protection when firing the iP1 pistol to protect your hearing.

• Always be sure that your backstop is adequate to stop and contain bullets before firing

so that you do not hit anything outside of the shooting range area. A bullet could travel

through or past your target as far as 1.5 miles. If in doubt, do not shoot.

• Never shoot at a hard surface, such as a rock, or a liquid surface, such as water, be-

cause a bullet may ricochet and travel in any direction, striking you or someone else.

• Always put a responsible and competent person in charge to maintain safety, discipline

and control when a group is firing at a range, to reduce the likelihood of a negligent

discharge.

• Always carry the iP1 pistol unloaded with the slide locked open in the rearward position

while on a range until preparing to fire. Always keep the iP1 pistol pointed towards the

backstop when loading, firing, and unloading it.

• When ready to fire be sure that the area behind the slide is clear (check your thumb) and

do not hold the iP1 pistol near your body, because the slide will move forcefully rearward

when the pistol is fired. (Note: When firing with a two-hand grip, the thumb of the weak

hand should be on the weak hand side of the iP1 pistol, never behind the slide).

• Always keep yourself and others clear of the ejection port because spent cartridges are

hot and are ejected with enough force to cause injury. Never touch the slide or barrel

immediately after firing because they may be hot and could cause burns.
