with EXTERNAL EXTRACTORS
The External Extractor on you Pistol doubles as a
Loaded Chamber indicator*.
LOADED CHAMBER !!
When there is a round in
the chamber, the external
extractor will slightly
extend out from the
slide which can be felt
by brushing the trigger finger upward across the
extractor (pictured at right). Left handed shooters
can easily brush the extractor with their off hand
index finger in the same manner.
NEVER ASSUME THE PISTOL IS UNLOADED!!
When the chamber is
empty,
the extractor
should be flush with the
side of the slide. If you
check the extractor
postion by swiping your
finger (as shown in above picture) across the
extractor and feel no raised edge, the chamber
should be empty. However,
NEVER rely exclusively on
mechanical or visual safeties! You can never be
sure that a gun is completely unloaded until both
the chamber is visually inspected and the
magazine is completely empty.
