WARNING: Keep your finger OFF THE TRIGGER and the barrel pointed in a SAFE direction. ! • Remove the magazine by pushing the magazine release button (Fig. 9). • Retract the slide. Visually inspect the cartridge chamber to ensure that it is empty. The chamber is empty when no cartridge is visible when looking into the open chamber (Fig. 10). Releasing the slide when a magazine is not in the pistol will automatically close the slide. Always keep your finger away from the ejection port. To keep the slide in the open position, without the magazine in the pistol, fully retract the slide and press the slide catch upward with your thumb (Fig. 1/C) and release the slide. The slide will be blocked in the open position. The slide will remain open when an empty magazine is inserted or when the slide catch is pressed upwards. If the pistol is unloaded, proceed to the following step, otherwise refer to the procedure: UNLOADING THE PISTOL. Gently move the slide to the closed position. If the slide is blocked in the open position by the slide catch or by an empty magazine inserted in the pistol, press the slide catch downward to close the slide (Fig. 11). WARNING: Always keep your finger away from the ejection port. ! WARNING: In F and G models the hammer remains in the cocked ! position. When you are certain that the firearm is unloaded, decock the hammer by pushing the manual safety/hammer decocking lever for F version (the safety remains engaged) and the hammer decocking lever for G version (the lever returns to the firing position) down all the way. On the D configuration, the hammer automatically returns to the decocked position by following the slide forward. 22
