SAFETY FEATURES
Decocking Lever
Trigger Guard
This safety device prevents a round being fired before the pistol is
fully locked. When the slide is not fully forward, the disconnector,
controlled by the recess on the slide, disconnects triggering system.
When the pistol is fully locked, disconnector engages the triggering
system.
CAUTION: NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHECK OR DEMONSTRATE THE DISCONNECTOR FUNCTION WITH A LOADED PISTOL. Putting the muzzle on
your hand or on any other portion of the body is extremely dangerous and could result in accidental discharge causing injury, death, or
damage to property.

Firing pin
The firing pin is placed in the slide and is held to the rear of its chamber by a spring. It cannot protrude through the face of slide unless a
hammer blow overcomes the spring force and the inertia of the pin.
The firing pin lock engages the firing pin to prevent its movement
until the trigger is squeezed. Housed in the slide, the firing pin lock
is spring loaded down into engagement with the firing pin to prevent its movement. When the trigger is pulled, lever system pushes
the firing pin catch, which enables its movement. This safety device
minimizes the risk of accidental discharge through mishandling,
such as when a loaded pistol is dropped or receives a blow to the
muzzle.

The trigger must be released and squeezed again to fire the next
round. At the end of every firing cycle, the slide cocks the hammer. To
drop the hammer forward without squeezing the trigger, decocking
lever is used. After that, the pistol is ready to fire in double action.
NOTE: If, after triggering, there is a misfire (the round is not functioning), there will be no energy to return the slide to the rear, so the
pistol will function in double action.
If the hammer is in the forward position (not cocked), the pistol will
function in double action by firmly squeezing the trigger. It can also
function in single action, by cocking the hammer by hand into the
final rear position. When doing this, your fingers should be removed
from the trigger.
CARRYING MODES
UNLOADING
CAUTION: ALWAYS UNLOAD YOUR PISTOL IMMEDIATELY AFTER
USE AND BEFORE CLEANING AND STORAGE TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE.
To Unload:
1. Be sure you are familiar with Safety Instructions in Section 1. Keep
the pistol pointing in safe direction, do not touch trigger and always
keep your hands away from muzzle and ejection port.
2. Place your hand under magazine to prevent it from falling and
press magazine release button to release and eject magazine.
Note: If slide is fully rearward, Step 3 does not apply.
3. Using serrated finger grips, pull slide sharply rearward to extract
and eject a round from the chamber. (Keep your hands clear of the
ejection port to allow round to eject without obstruction). Examine
previously chambered round for dents or other damage and dispose
of it as explained in Section 1.
4. CAUTION: LOOK IN THE CHAMBER TO ENSURE IT IS EMPTY
AND SEE THAT MAGAZINE HAS BEEN REMOVED.

out squeezing the trigger. However, if you have fired the last round
from the magazine, the slide will stay to the rear, ready for magazines to be changed. The procedure of replacement is identical to
the described procedures of extracting the empty and inserting full
magazine in paragraph To Load the Pistol. As the slide is already in
rear position, its releasing is done by pushing the lever. Now you
can proceed with shooting or stop, according to already described
procedures.
CAUTION: IF PISTOL FAILS TO FIRE, HOLD IT, KEEPING IT POINTED
TOWARDS THE TARGET OR SAFE OPEN AREA AND WAIT 60 SECONDS.
If a hang fire (slow ignition) has occurred, round could fire within
60 seconds. If round does not fire, remove magazine, eject round
and examine primer. If firing pin indent on primer is light, off center
or non-existent, have pistol examined by a competent gunsmith.
If firing pin on primer appears normal (in comparison with similar
previously fired rounds) assume faulty ammunition, segregate misfired round from other live ammunition and empty cases; reload and
carry on firing.
Note: Dispose of misfired rounds in accordance with the ammunition
manufacturers instructions.
CAUTION: KEEP THE PISTOL POINTING IN SAFE DIRECTION.
Unload as previously described.
IMPORTANT: If you cocked your pistol but did not fire it, use
decocking lever to lower the hammer. If you lose the opportunity
to fire, unload your pistol as previously described. Remember, if a
round is in the chamber there is a risk of accidental discharge.
CAUTION: NEVER LEAVE THE PISTOL COCKED READY TO FIRE, as it
is extremely dangerous, and pistol could easily be accidentally discharged causing injury, death, or damage to property.

last longer, and remain safer when it is properly maintained. Follow the advice in this Section to keep your pistol in peak competitive
