Ammunition
Your SIG SAUER pistol will function effectively and safely with a wide variety of
commercial and military-standard ammunition. Here are some suggestions that will
help you keep your pistol free from ammunition-related problems:
WARNING
READ ANY WARNINGS OR INSTRUCTIONS THAT COME
WITH YOUR AMMUNITION.
Always be sure of your target, the area behind your target,
and the maximum range of your ammunition.
BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS AT ALL TIMES!
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN OCCUR!
WARNING
Using the wrong ammunition could result in serious
injury or death. Catastrophic damage could occur.
1. Use only ammunition of the caliber for which your pistol is chambered. The
correct caliber is permanently engraved on your pistol.
2. Use only clean, dry, undamaged new factory-manufactured ammunition.
3. Always use ammunition that complies with the performance standards
established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute, Inc.
of the United States (SAAMI).
4. Always inspect your ammunition before use to be certain all cartridges are the
correct caliber for your pistol (see 1 above).
5. Keep your cartridges free of oil. Wipe the chamber clean of any oil or
preservative before you shoot. Oil in the chamber creates dangerous stresses.
