8.2. DECOCKING FUNCTION

WHEN DECOCKING YOUR PISTOL ALWAYS KEEP THE

MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND KEEP YOUR

FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. IMMEDIATELY PLACE

THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. FAILURE TO

FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS

INJURY OR DEATH.

The “safety”/decocking lever also functions as a decocking lever. The

“safety”/decocking lever is the appropriate method of lowering the hammer

from full cock to the decocked

position without having to depress

the trigger. With the muzzle pointed

in a safe direction and your finger

away from the trigger, simply depress

the ambidextrous “safety”/decocking

lever fully with your thumb (Figure 8).

The hammer will lower to the

decocked position and the

ambidextrous “safety”/decocking

lever will return to the off safe

position. This requires firm pressure

on the “safety”/decocking lever. Do

not press the “safety”/decocking lever partially downward, leaving the

hammer in the full cock position, and assume the pistol is on safe.

If the hammer does not move from the full cock position to the decocked

position, the “safety”/decocking lever has not been depressed fully. The

“safety” is not in the on safe position until the lever covers the entire

red dot on the frame.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE HAMMER TO THE

DECOCKED POSITION BY PULLING THE TRIGGER AND

LOWERING THE HAMMER WITH YOUR THUMB. THE HAMMER
