SLIDE STOP OPEN LATCH
When the slide is drawn rearward, the stop open latch can be raised to
lock the slide in its open position. With a magazine loaded into the
frame, this latch is automatically actuated to lock the slide after the
last shot is fired (Figure 4).
REMOVING THE MAGAZINE
To remove the magazine simply push the magazine release button
located on the left side of the frame, behind the trigger. This releases
the magazine which can be caught with the other hand and extracted
(Figure 5).
LOADING AND FIRING

With the slide locked to the rear, using the stop open
latch, and with the magazine out of the gun, inspect the chamber to
be sure it is empty (Figure 6). Close the slide and place the manual
thumb “safety” in the “on safe” position.

while inserting the cartridges with the other hand (Figure 7). Insert the
