pressure exerted by the magazine spring via that top round. Slapping the magazine can often cause a malfunction by jarring loose a round from the magazine and creating a double feed or other stoppage.
When releasing the slide by grasping it and drawing it to the rear, the “slingshot” method, release it completely and allow it to go forward under its own spring tension. The pistol was designed to function reliably at the velocity the slide drops from the slide release.
CLEARING YOUR WEAPON
1.Place the weapon on safe
2.Remove the source of feed (magazine).
3.Lock the slide to the rear, allowing the round to eject, and then inspect the chamber, magazine well, extractor and ejector*.
4.Ride the slide forward, point the weapon in a safe direction (preferably at a target), and pull the trigger. Always think safety. Make it a habit to double and triple check that your weapon is clear any time there has been a long pause since the last time you checked it or if there is any doubt in your mind of the status. If it leaves your hand and is not in you holster it should be cleared.
NOTE
It is advisable to inspect the extractor and ejector because these parts are the two most common parts to break on the pistol, and will force you to inspect the magazine well area more closely, thereby making it far less likely that the pistol was inadvertently left loaded or not properly cleared.
