Manual

Testing and Safety

“The manufacturer/importer certies that this model of handgun has been tested and has been determined not to be an

unsafe handgun as dened in California Penal Code Section 12126.”

To be sold or manufactured in California, the 9C1 Handgun has been subjected to and passed a battery of tests (most rigorous

in the nation) required by the State.

Per California requirements, the pistol is rst inspected to ensure it has incorporated a magazine trigger disconnect and a

loaded chamber indicator labeled as such.

Three handguns and ten magazines must be submitted for testing, and each pistol must shoot 600 rounds with no more than

6 malfunctions. A malfunction is dened as a failure to feed, re, extract, eject, to hold the slide open (if pistol designed to do

so) after the last cartridge has been expended, or to prematurely lock the slide open before the last cartridge has been red.

Additionally, if any pistol experiences a single failure within the rst twenty rounds, the model fails the test.

To complete the 600 round test, 50 rounds are red through a pistol and it is then allowed to cool before 50 more rounds are

red. After 100 rounds have been expended, the pistol is disassembled and cleaned in accordance with the instructions in this

manual; this process is repeated until 600 rounds have been expended.

If all three samples pass these tests, each is submitted to a drop test where the pistols are loaded with a cartridge containing

a live primer, but without projectile, and dropped from a height of 1 meter onto a concrete foundation. The drop is performed

in six congurations, on left side, right side, butt, upsidedown, muzzle down, and muzzle up. After each drop, the cartridge is

removed and its primer is inspected for indentations. If all three samples pass all six drop tests, one sample is sent to

Sacramento, and the rearm will be placed on the DOJ’s centralized list; allowing it to be manufactured and sold in the State.
