WARNING:
The M9 pistol
has single- and double-action firing
modes. When the safety is set to
FIRE, squeezing the trigger will
automatically cock and fire the
pistol (this is the double-action
mode).

Keep your
finger away from the trigger until
you intend to fire

1.   Place safety lever in SAFE position.

2.   Insert the loaded magazine into the pistol magazine
well until you hear a click when the
magazine seats fully.

3.   Point the pistol in a safe direction (usually at
the target or skyward).

4.   Retract the slide fully and release it. This strips
a cartridge from the magazine and
chambers it.
