has single- and double-action firing
modes. When the safety is set to
FIRE, squeezing the trigger will
automatically cock and fire the
pistol (this is the double-action
mode).
Keep your
finger away from the trigger until
you intend to fire

|
1. Place safety lever in SAFE position.

|
2. Insert the loaded magazine into the pistol magazine
well until you hear a click when the
magazine seats fully.

3. Point the pistol in a safe direction (usually at
the target or skyward).

4. Retract the slide fully and release it. This strips
a cartridge from the magazine and
chambers it.
