Read this manual carefully before handling, loading, or operating the pistol. Do not point pistol at personnel when loading, clearing, or firing as this could result in injury to, or death of, personnel. For safety considerations, the hammer should always be lowered to the fully down position by depressing the decocking/safety Iever. The M9 pistol incorporates single and double action modes of fire. Anytime the trigger is pulled with the decocking/safety lever in the firs (up) position and a round in the chamber, the pistol will firs from the hammer down, half cock or full cock positions. The decocking/safety lever can be moved to the fire (up) position with a minimum amount of force. This could happen during removal of the pistol from the M12 holster if carried in the safe (down) position and/or during careless handling. C h a n g e 1 a
