APX A1 MAN0011 01

Notice: always keep this manual with your firearm. Include it

with the pistol when it changes ownership or when it is loaned or
presented to another person.

Notice: The Manufacturer and/or its Local Official Distribu-

tors assume no responsibility for product malfunction or for
physical injury or property damage resulting in whole or in part
from criminal or negligent use of the product, improper or care-
less handling, unauthorized modifications, use of defective, im-
proper, hand-loaded, reloaded or remanufactured ammunition*,
customer abuse or neglect of the product, or other influences
beyond manufacturer’s direct and immediate control.
* See paragraph “Ammunition”.

WARNING: always ensure safety is engaged – if present un-

til ready to fire. A safety, which is not fully engaged, will not pre-
vent firearm discharge.

WARNING: ALL FIREARMS HAVE LETHAL POTENTIAL.

READ THE BASIC SAFETY RULES CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND
THEM FULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THIS FIREARM.

Notice: In addition to the Basic Safety Rules, there are other

Safety Rules pertaining to the loading, unloading, disassembly,
assembly and use of this firearm, located throughout this manual.

WARNING: READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL CAREFULLY BE-

FORE USING THIS FIREARM. MAKE SURE THAT ANY PERSON
USING OR HAVING ACCESS TO THIS FIREARM READS AND UN-
DERSTANDS ALL OF THIS MANUAL PRIOR TO USE OR ACCESS.

BASIC SAFETY RULES

WARNING: PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE HAN-
DLING YOUR FIREARM.

WARNING: FIREARMS CAN BE DANGEROUS AND CAN PO-

TENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
OR DEATH, IF HANDLED IMPROPERLY. THE FOLLOWING SAFETY
RULES ARE AN IMPORTANT REMINDER THAT FIREARM SAFETY
IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
1. NEVER POINT A FIREARM AT SOMETHING THAT IS NOT
SAFE TO SHOOT.
Never let the muzzle of a firearm
point at any part of your body or
at another person. This is espe-
cially important when loading or
unloading the firearm. When you
are shooting at a target, know
what is behind it. Some bullets can travel over a mile. If you miss
your target or if the bullet penetrates the target, it is your respon-
sibility to ensure that the shot does not cause unintended injury
or damage.

2. ALWAYS TREAT A FIREARM AS IF IT WERE

LOADED.
Never assume that a firearm is unloaded. The
only certain way to ensure that a firearm has the
chamber(s) empty is to open the chamber and
visually and physically examine the inside to see
if a round is present. Removing or unloading the

4
APX A1 MAN0011 01

magazine will not guarantee that a firearm is unloaded or cannot

fire. Firearms can be checked by cycling or removing all rounds
and by then opening and inspecting the chamber so that a visual
inspection of the chamber for any remaining rounds can be made.

3. STORE YOUR FIREARM SO THAT CHILDREN CANNOT GAIN

ACCESS TO IT.
It is your responsibility to ensure that children
under the age of 18 or other unauthorized
persons do not gain access to your firearm.
To reduce the risk of accidents involving chil-
dren, unload your firearm, lock it and store
the ammunition in a separate locked location.
Please note that devices intended to prevent
accidents - for example, cable locks, chamber
plugs, etc, - may not prevent use or misuse of
your firearm by a determined person. Firearm
storage in a steel gun safe may be more ap-
propriate to reduce the likelihood of intention-
al misuse of a firearm by an unauthorized child
or person.

4. NEVER SHOOT AT WATER OR AT A HARD SURFACE.

Shooting at the surface of water or at a rock
or other hard surface increases the chance
of ricochets or fragmentation of the bullet or
shot, which can result in the projectile strik-
ing an unintended or peripheral target.

5. KNOW THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE FIREARM YOU ARE

USING, BUT REMEMBER: SAFETY DEVICES ARE NOT A SUBSTI-
TUTE FOR SAFE HANDLING PROCEDURES.
Never rely solely on a safety device to prevent an accident. It is
imperative that you know and use the safety features of the par-
ticular firearm you are handling, but accidents can best be pre-
vented by following the safe handling procedures described in
these safety rules and elsewhere in the product manual. To further

5
 MAN0011 01 APX A1

familiarize yourself with the proper use of this or other firearms,

take a Firearms Safety Course taught by an expert in firearms use
and safety procedures.

6. PROPERLY MAINTAIN YOUR FIREARM.

Store and carry your firearm so that dirt or lint
does not accumulate in the working parts.
Clean and oil your firearm, following the instruc-
tions provided in this manual, after each use to
prevent corrosion, damage to the barrel or ac-
cumulation of impurities which can prevent use
of the gun in an emergency. Always check the
bore and chamber(s) prior to loading to ensure
that they are clean and free from obstructions. Firing with an ob-
struction in the barrel or chamber can rupture the barrel and in-
jure you or others nearby. In the event you hear an unusual noise
when shooting, stop firing immediately, engage the manual safety
and unload the firearm. Make sure the chamber and barrel are free
from any obstruction, like a bullet blocked inside the barrel due to
defective or improper ammunition.

7. USE PROPER AMMUNITION.

Only use factory-loaded, new ammunition manufactured to indus-
try specifications: CIP (Europe and elsewhere), SAAMI® (U.S.A.). Be
certain that each round you use is in the proper caliber or gauge
and type for the particular firearm. The caliber or gauge of the
firearm is clearly marked on the barrels of shotguns and on the
slide or barrel of pistols. The use of reloaded or remanufactured
ammunition can increase the likelihood of excessive cartridge
pressures, case-head ruptures or other defects in the ammunition
that can cause damage to your firearm and injury to yourself or
others nearby.

8. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLASSES

AND EARPLUGS WHEN SHOOTING.
The chance that gas, gunpowder or metal frag-
ments will blow back and injure a shooter who
is firing a gun is rare, but the injury that can be

6
APX A1 MAN0011 01

sustained in such circumstances can be severe, including the pos-

sible loss of eyesight. A shooter must always wear impact resis-
tant shooting glasses when firing any firearm. Earplugs or other
high-quality hearing protectors help reduce the chance of hearing
damage from shooting.

9. NEVER CLIMB A TREE, FENCE OR OBSTRUCTION WITH A

LOADED FIREARM.
Open and empty the chamber(s) of your firearm
and engage the manual safety before climb-
ing or descending a tree or before climbing a
fence or jumping over a ditch or other obstruc-
tion. Never pull or push a loaded firearm toward
yourself or another person. Always unload a
firearm, visually and physically check to see that
the magazine, loading mechanism and chamber are unloaded,
and action is open before handing it to another person. Never
take a firearm from another person unless it is unloaded, visually
and physically checked to confirm it is unloaded, and the action
is open.

10. AVOID ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR JUDGMENT/REFLEX

IMPAIRING MEDICATION WHEN SHOOTING.
Do not drink and shoot. If you take medication
that can impair motor reactions or judgment, do
not handle a firearm while you are under the in-
fluence of the medication.

11. NEVER TRANSPORT A LOADED FIREARM.

Unload a firearm before putting it in a vehicle
(chamber empty, magazine empty). Hunters and
target shooters should load their firearm only at
their destination, and only when they are ready
to shoot. If you carry a firearm for self-protec-
tion, leaving the chamber unloaded can reduce
the chance of an unintentional discharge.

7
 MAN0011 01 APX A1

12. LEAD WARNING.

Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms,
or handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead and oth-
er substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm,
and other serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all
times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.

WARNING: It is YOUR responsibility to know and abide by

Federal, State and Local laws governing the sale, transportation
and use of firearms in your area.

WARNING: This firearm has the capability of taking your life

or the life of someone else! Always be extremely careful with
your firearm. An accident is almost always the result of not fol-
lowing basic firearm safety rules.

ESPECIALLY FOR U.S. CONSUMERS:

REASSEMBLY
Start reassembling the pistol by
inserting the barrel into the
slide. Tilt the barrel to install the
muzzle end through the hole in
the front of the slide, then lower
the rear end into position in the
slide.

gaged into the recess in the
barrel cam lug.

Check that the take down lever

is correctly assembled with the
lever in the vertical position.

With the muzzle pointed in a

safe direction, retract the slide
and visually confirm that the
take down lever has rotated and
shifted to the “Locked” posi-
tion.
