result in damage to the firing pin. "Snap caps" (inert chamber inserts that allow a firearm to be dry-fired without damaging the action) are available at most gun stores for those who wish to practice firing without live ammunition. CAUTION: If you want to practice shooting your pistol without using live ammunition (called "dry firing"), insert an appropriate "snap cap" into the chamber to cushion the fall of the firing pin and reduce the chance of firing pin breakage. "Snap cap" cartridges with spring loaded "primers" are ideal. The "Snap cap" cartridges with empty primer pockets are suitable for loading/unloading practice but DO NOT PROTECT the firing pin during dry firing. LOADING WARNING: Whenever a live round is in the chamber, this pistol can fire, even if the magazine is empty or has been removed. WARNING: Before loading the firearm, become familiar with the following loading procedures without the use of ammunition. Never handle a loaded firearm until you are fully familiar with the loading procedures. Always point the firearm in a safe direction. WARNING: Always keep your finger away from the trigger whenever you do not intend to fire. Make sure the pistol is unloaded. See paragraph "LOAD CHECK" . WARNING: LOAD THE CHAMBER ONLY WHEN READY TO FIRE. NOTICE: The numbers in the figures refer to the photos on pages 2, 54 and 85. LOADING THE MAGAZINE WARNING: Be sure that you have the correct cartridges for your pistol. • To load the magazine, remove it from the pistol by depressing the magazine release button. (Fig. 9) • Hold the magazine in one hand. With the other hand, place a cartridge on the magazine follower in front of the lips at the top ! ! ! ! ! 68
