Service and repairs

10.1 Fault detection, fault removal

Faults can be prevented with the proper
maintenance of the pistol (cleaning and
inspection). Should, however, a malfunction occur
while firing, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the magazine.

2. Retract the slide fully and lock to the rear

(open) using the slide catch lever.

3. Check (visually and manually with appropriate

aid) to ensure there is no round, bullet, case or
foreign bodies in the chamber or in the barrel
bore. If a bullet is lodged in the barrel bore,
strip the pistol and have the bullet removed by
a qualified gunsmith using the proper tools.

4. Remove all ammunition & foreign matter.

Clean, lubricate and assemble pistol.

5. Have pistol checked by a gunsmith or armorer.

CAUTION!

Neglecting the pistol
Possibly damage to the pistol and bodily
harm

Always keep your pistol clean and in good
working order.

Clean the pistol after 250 rounds, before
every ammunition type change and after
every use. The chamber in particular must be
thoroughly cleaned.

Never change or repair parts of your pistol
yourself.

Have your pistol checked once a year by a
qualified gunsmith or armorer, as defects,
wear and tear, corrosion etc. may not always
be visible from the exterior.

For repair or service work, we recommend
that you return your pistol to SIG SAUER.

If you order replacement parts without
returning the pistol, you are responsible for
ordering the correct replacement part and its
installation by a qualified gunsmith or
armorer.

SIG SAUER cannot be held liable for pistol
faults or malfunctions if the pistol has been
modified or parts have been installed or
repaired by third parties.

WARNING!

Uncontrolled shot discharge
Possibly death or serious injuries

Keep the pistol pointed in a safe firing
direction and remove your finger from the
trigger while you carry out the steps shown
below.
