Firearm Handling: Safe Loading, Unloading, and Action Modes
Weapon to Cover: Loading and Preparing for Carry
When you take the gun, the first step is to ensure a round is chambered. Manually delay the slide with your thumb and index finger to its most backward position. If not automatically supplied with your charger, it will not be unlocked with the lever. This allows us to ensure there is no cartridge. If necessary, especially in poor visibility, insert your finger to confirm. Subsequent actions involve using the lever to stop the slide in its most advanced or normal position.
Once the weapon is secured and confirmed to be unloaded, we can proceed with total security to carry the weapon in the DOS condition:
- Firmly insert the charger up to its peak.
- With a swift pull of the slide, we will feed the gun.
