waRning – Jams
if your pistol stops firing with a live round in the chamber of a hot barrel (a misfire
or jam), remove the round immediately. if you cannot remove the round within
10 seconds, remove the magazine and wait at least 15 minutes with the pistol
pointing in a safe direction. This way, neither the user nor any other person would
be injured by the possibility of a round “cooking-off” (a round detonating due to
the heat of the barrel). Keep your face away from the ejection port while clearing
a hot chamber.
7.2 minimizing malfunctions (“Jams”)
Malfunctions can largely be avoided by cleaning the pistol (see section 8.3 “clean-
ing the Pistol”).
• after each firing session
• Whenever a buildup of firing residue is suspected
• Whenever the pistol is exposed to extreme environmental conditions (rain,
snow, freezing temperatures, etc.)
