Unloading the Pistol
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE PISTOL IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION!
- Remove the magazine
- Retract the slide and verify the last cartridge has been extracted from the
chamber and ejected
- Let the slide snap fully forward
- Depress the trigger (dry fire)
Engaging the Safety
Push the safety up to the Safety-On position (Fig. 5) until the red warning dot is
covered. The safety in this position blocks the trigger mechanism and slide, thus preventing
the pulling of the trigger and operating the slide.
Since the trigger mechanism has been specifically adjusted, it is possible to move the
safety onto the "SAFE" position even if the hammer is placed on the safety notch or leaned
against the slide. In this case, however, it is not recommended to engage the safety because
the trigger mechanism might be damaged when cocking the hammer by force.
Besides the method previously described it is possible to put the pistol into a safety
mode and still be ready to fire immediately:
Load the pistol. Grasp the grip, POINT IN A SAFE DIRECTION. With a thumb press on
the grooved area (thumb piece) of the hammer, pull the trigger and release the hammer
slowly forward (Fig. 6) until it rests on the action or safety notch of the hammer. Release the
trigger. Practise this operation very carefully to avoid an accidental discharge! We strongly
recommend to practise this operation beforehand with the pistol unloaded!
In this state the pistol is safe for all normal handling and at the same time ready for
immediate use.
Please remember that the safest way to secure a pistol is to unload it and store it in a
safe place!
Loaded Chamber Indicator
The protrusion of the loaded chamber indicator above the top surface of the slide
indicates a cartridge loaded in the cartridge chamber (supplied on special order only). This
protrusion can be checked both by sight and by touch.
