When shooting, always wear ear protection
and protective eye glasses. Inform other
people close to you about the need to wear
ear protection.

Stop shooting immediately and unload the
pistol if you suspect that a round is not
inserted correctly, a case is jammed, a round
may have blocked the barrel or a shot sounds
or gives the sensation that it may be “weak”
or unusual.

Never try to dislodge a blockage by firing
another round.
