5.1 Clearing a Jam
While shooting any firearm, an unfired cartridge or fired cartridge case may
occasionally become jammed between the slide and the barrel. WHILE KEEP-
ING THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION, clear the jam as follows:
1. Remove the magazine, then
2. Pull back the slide and lock it to the rear by pushing up the slide catch lever.
3. The jammed cartridge or case now can be removed by shaking it out or
by picking it out.
WARNING – HANDLING
The slide opens and shuts quickly while
firing. Keep face and hands away from it. Hot
brass and powder gas is ejected quickly and
can burn you. Always wear safety glasses
and hearing protectors.
SLIDE OPENS FAST – HOT BRASS EJECTED
WARNING – DROPPED PISTOL
If dropped, the pistol may fire. Keep the
chamber empty unless actually firing!
ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF DROPPED
