SAFETY LOCK OR THUMB SAFETY
The thumb safety is located on the left side of the
frame immediately forward of the hammer. To
operate, pull slide to its most rearward position and
release. Then push the thumb safety upward until it
fully engages the slide lock notch. The slide is
thereby prevented from moving rearward and an
internal cam surface engages the sear preventing
the hammer from moving forward. The thumb
safety cannot be engaged unless the hammer
is fully cocked and the slide is fully forward. To
disengage, move safety fully downward until it is
completely down.
