Owner's Manual

FIRING YOUR BPS
With the chamber loaded, all that is necessary to fire the gun is to
push the thumb safety forward to the “fire” position (red warning
dot exposed) and pull the trigger. The action of the hammer falling
unlocks the slide. Consequently, after firing the gun, it is not necessary
to depress the slide release in order to draw the slide rearward. Simply
draw the slide rearward to extract and eject the spent case; push
it forward to feed a live round from the magazine to the chamber.
AFTER SHOOTING, IMMEDIATELY PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE
“ON SAFE” POSITION.
UNLOADING PROCEDURES
AT ALL TIMES DURING UNLOADING PROCEDURES, BE SURE YOUR
MUZZLE IS POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND THE “SAFETY” IS IN
THE “ON SAFE” POSITION.
With the safety “on safe” invert the gun (ejection port up). The slide
(forearm) should be in the forward position.
Reach down inside the ejection/ loading port and depress the
projection on the cartridge stop. The cartridge stop is located on the
right side of the receiver cavity when the gun is inverted (Figure 9).
Pressing the cartridge stop releases
a single shell from the magazine
each time it is pressed. Remove all
the shells in the magazine.
Depress the slide release button
and retract the slide. The loaded
round in the chamber will be
extracted and ejected as you
pull the slide fully rearward.
Visually check the chamber,
feed mechanism and magazine
to be certain that the gun is
completely empty.
