Unloading the pistol
Point the pistol in a safe direction,
keep your finger off the trigger and remove
the magazine. Pull back the slide (4) and lock it with the slide catch lever (17).
Make sure the last round in the chamber
has been extracted and ejected. Visually
and physically check the chamber and the
magazine well to make sure the pistol has
been unloaded.
Release the slide on an empty
chamber. Depress the decocking
lever*. The pistol is now unloaded,
decocked and safe.

Troubleshooting
Firearms work reliably if properly maintained. If there is a malfunction during
firing, here's what to do:
1. Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction with your finger off the trigger.
2. Remove and secure the magazine.
3. Move the slide rearward and forward to clear any cartridge case in or near the
chamber.
4. If you suspect that a bullet is lodged in the bore, field strip your pistol and check
to see if the barrel is blocked. If there is a bullet lodged in the bore, return the
pistol to SIGARMS Inc. See instructions on page 17.
Follow the above procedures if:
You notice that a cartridge is difficult to chamber, or
A cartridge does not go off, or
The mechanism fails to extract a fired cartridge case, or
You discover unburned grains of propellant powder spilled in the mechanism, or
A shot sounds or feels weak or abnormal.
WARNING
IF A BULLET IS IN THE BORE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT
OUT BY USING ANOTHER CARTRIDGE, OR BY BLOWING IT OUT
WITH A BLANK OR A CARTRIDGE FROM WHICH THE BULLET
HAS BEEN REMOVED. THIS CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE
PRESSURE, DAMAGE THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
