MAGAZINE OUT SAFETY
This feature is not apparent on visual inspection. When the magazine is removed from the pistol grip area, it disables
the trigger and firing mechanism.
DANGER
INSTALLING AN EMPTY MAGAZINE INTO THE PISTOL AND PULLING THE TRIGGER WILL FIRE A CARTRIDGE IN
THE CHAMBER. Relying on the magazine out safety can result in serious injury or death. Always practice safe gun
handling techniques and never point the firearm at something you do not intend to shoot.
RED COCKED “INDICATOR”
The red cocked indicator device will indicate whether the pistol is cocked and ready to fire. The red cocked indicator
will visibly protrude through the rear of the slide (about 1/8 inch) when the pistol is cocked. See page 8 if you need
to unload your pistol.
MANUAL SAFETY
The manual safety, located on the left side grip area, should always be placed in the “safe” position until ready to fire.
While in the “safe” position, the slide cannot be moved rearward to cock or load a cartridge. The manual safety must
be in the “fire” position to cock or load the pistol. Immediately after cocking or loading your pistol, return the safety
to the “safe” position until you are ready to shoot.
LOADED CHAMBER INDICATOR
When viewing your pistol from a normal shooting stance, the loaded chamber indicator is on top of the slide between
the rear sight and the ejector port. The loaded chamber indicator alerts the operator whether a cartridge (live or fired)
is in the chamber. If the indicator is sticking up, a cartridge remains in the chamber. See page 8 for unloading instruc-
tions. If the indicator is flush with the slide top surface, this condition indicates no round in the chamber.
