1 Safety Instructions
• Before handling the pistol, thoroughly familiarize yourself with all of its functions and handling
characteristics by carefully reading the entire instruction manual.
• When performing a safety check, before cleaning the pistol, prior to shooting, or when accessing a
malfunction, always check that the firearm is unloaded (magazine removed from pistol and
chamber clear). Visually check that the bore of the barrel is clear of any obstruction and the
magazine is empty.
• When not shooting, keep ammunition stored separately from the pistol. Store each in separate and
secure locations. Unauthorized persons, such as children, must not have access to either the
ammunition or the pistol.
• Always treat every firearm as if it were loaded and would fire if the trigger is squeezed. Handle the
pistol in a conscientious and professional manner so as to not endanger yourself or bystanders.
Always keep the muzzle of the firearm pointed in a safe direction. Never point a firearm at anyone
or anything you do not intend to shoot, whether or not it is loaded.
• Caution: Keep your finger off the trigger and outside of the pistol’s trigger guard until you have
aligned the pistol’s sights on a safe target and you have made the decision to fire.
Always be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
• Never use force when operating, checking, field-stripping, cleaning, or assembling the pistol.
Incorrect handling will impair the functioning and safety of the pistol. The pistol must not be
disassembled further than shown in this instruction manual.
• Safety and correct functioning are assured only when the pistol and ammunition are in prime
condition.
• Always have the pistol inspected by a qualified gunsmith if you suspect it is not functioning properly
or has been damaged, such as by corrosion, being dropped, and so on.
• Always wear adequate and proper hearing protection and safety glasses specified for firearm use.
Also make sure others in the vicinity of where you will be shooting are also wearing adequate and
proper hearing protection and safety glasses.
• Your firearm has been designed for use with a specific type and caliber of ammunition. The correct
caliber intended for use in the pistol is marked on the pistol. Use only ammunition corresponding to
the caliber of the weapon and which conforms to the provisions of the Commission Internationale
Permanente pour l’Epreuve des Armes à Feu portatives (International Proof Commission/C.I.P.) or
Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI). When using reloaded
ammunition do not exceed the permitted gas/chamber pressure according to C.I.P or SAAMI.
Excessive pressure can damage or even destroy any firearm. Ammunition with velocities and
pressures higher than those for which the weapon was designed will subject the weapon to
additional stress, cause excessive wear, and may cause serious damage to the pistol.
• Before loading, always wipe off any excess grease and oil and make sure that the bore of the
barrel is clean and clear of any obstruction.
• Do not alter, modify or replace any of the parts of the firearm unless specifically directed to do so in
this manual. Any maintenance or service not specified in this manual must be performed by a
qualified gunsmith using genuine WALTHER parts.
• Improper or unauthorized adjustment of any component may affect the safety and reliability of the
firearm and may cause serious injury or death.
