WARNING!

Pistol is loaded
Possibly death or serious injuries

You must not let the pistol out of your hand
until the magazine has been removed and
the pistol is unloaded.

WARNING!

Decocking lever
Possibly death or serious injuries

Always use the decocking lever to decock
your SIG SAUER pistol. This is the only way
to safely lower the hammer from the cocked
position and prevent an accidental discharge.

Never lower the hammer by pulling the
trigger and attempting to ease the hammer
forward manually.

Manually lowering the hammer is
dangerous
and prevents full application of
the pistol's safety features - the consequence
can be serious injury or death - only and
ALWAYS use the decocking lever!
