5.7 FIELD STRIPPING THE MAGAZINE

the base (see Figure 13).
• Slide the base off towards the front of the magazine.
• Remove the base lock by sliding it forward off the front of the magazine.
• Pull the spring and follower out of the bottom of the magazine.
• To reassemble this magazine, reverse the above directions. When reassembling,
make sure that the top coil of the spring is positioned towards the front of the
magazine (see Figure 14) and that the post on the base lock protrudes through
the hole in the base.
5.8 INSPECTION
Even the best of pistols, like fine automobiles, require periodic maintenance and
inspection. This may reveal a need for adjustment or repair. Even if your pistol
seems to be working well, don’t take chances. Have it checked annually by a
qualified gunsmith or armorer.
If you notice any mechanical malfunction, STOP using the firearm. UNLOAD it
and take it to a qualified gunsmith or armorer immediately for a thorough
examination. Similarly, if water, sand, or other debris enters the mechanism,
field strip the pistol immediately and thoroughly clean it. Failure to keep your
pistol cleaned, lubricated and in proper working order could lead to serious
bodily injury or property damage.
