OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: ALWAYS KEEP THE PISTOL POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION
WHEN LOADING AND UNLOADING. INSPECT THE CHAMBER AND BORE OF
THE BARREL FOR ANY OBSTRUCTION, EXCESSIVE OIL OR GREASE.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN GUN DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY TO THE
SHOOTERS OR THOSE NEARBY.
LOADING
To load the magazine, place the first cartridge in the front end of the magazine follower
and push it down until it can be slid in under the feed lips of the magazine. Place the
second cartridge on the top of the first and force it down in the same way as the first one.
Repeat this procedure until the magazine contains the number of cartridges you intend to
load. (Note: Refer to the specifications for the magazine capacity per model).
To load the pistol, insert the loaded magazine into the grip (handle) and push it up until
the magazine release engages in its slot locking in place. Hold the pistol firmly with your
firing hand. Grasp the slide at its serrated section with your other hand and pull it to the
rear as far as it will go. (Note: The hammer can be cocked first to make the slide easier
to pull). Then, release the slide smartly. A cartridge is now loaded in the chamber and
the pistol is ready to fire. Push the safety lock upwards into the “SAFE” position and
leave it there until you’re ready to shoot.
FIRING
To fire the pistol, press the safety lock down to the “ FIRE” position. Obtain the correct
sight alignment and sight picture and squeeze the trigger. To fire successive shots, the
trigger must be released and squeeze repeatedly. When the last cartridge from the
magazine has been fired, the slide remains to the rear. If you intend not to shoot or cease
firing, remember you have a loaded gun in your hand. First keep the gun pointed in a
