WARNING - FIRING
The trigger is inoperable when the safety is fully engaged in its “safe” position
(lever fully down, white dot and letter “S” exposed; see Figure 1 on page 11).
WARNING: The pistol is ready for instant use in the single-action mode once
the slide moves forward if the safety is in the “fire” position. Be careful!
7. If the pistol is not to be fired immediately, the safety should remain in its
“safe” position. (See Figure 1, p. 11.)
8. If the pistol is to be fired immediately, the manual safety can be rotated
upward to its “fire” position. (See Figure 2, p. 11.) The firing pin is still
blocked at all times by the internal firing pin block unless the trigger is
pulled all the way to the rear.
9. The pistol is ready for instant use once the safety is disengaged. When the pis-
tol is in the “uncocked” mode (hammer forward), the first shot can be fired
double-action by pulling the trigger all the way to the rear, which cocks the
hammer and then fires the pistol. Subsequent shots are fired single-action
until the magazine is empty, the hammer being cocked by the slide as it
recoils from each shot. Note that the trigger pull is much lighter for these
subsequent shots.
10. For greater accuracy and consistent trigger pull, the hammer may be manu-
ally cocked by the shooter before the first shot is fired once the safety is “off”.
Keep your finger off the trigger while cocking the hammer! The hammer
will be automatically cocked as described above for subsequent shots.

quickly while firing. Keep face and hands

quickly and can burn you. Always wear
shooting glasses and hearing protection.
