The user should never depend on any mechanical device to justify careless handling or permitting the pistol to point in an unsafe direction. The shooter should always be alert to the possibility of accidental discharge.
The only absolutely safe pistol is one in which the slide is open, the chamber is empty, and there is no magazine in the gun. This will also uncock decock the pistol. When the last cartridge loaded into the pistol has been fired, the magazine follower presses the slide stop upward to engage the slide automatically holding the action open. If the slide is shut, the shooter should always assume that there is a cartridge in the chamber! Visually inspect the magazine and chamber.
Although this may appear startling, it is important to note that the firing pin is cammed forward into the slide and locked in a neutral position thus preventing forward movement toward the cartridge; therefore, the pistol will not fire when the safety is applied. Manually decocking the hammer with the thumb is neither necessary nor recommended. Always use either the right- or left-hand safety lever.
Remember that when you release the decocking lever, it will automatically return to the firing position, and the pistol can then fire when the trigger is pulled if a cartridge is in the chamber. Next, push the slide stop upward so that the slide remains to the rear. Insert a single cartridge directly and fully into the chamber. Taking care to keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction, depress the slide stop. This will cause the slide to move vigorously forward into the firing position.
Single-action firing is possible by manually cocking the hammer. Note that the slide will not automatically remain open if the pistol is fired without the magazine in place. The ejector must always be pivoted to its rearward upward position when firing the pistol without the magazine. Removing magazine does not unload pistol! To unload, first remove magazine, then pull slide to rear, eject chambered cartridge, and visually inspect chamber to be sure it is empty.
Always point the pistol in a safe direction when loading or unloading. Failure to do so can result in the chamber being unintentionally loaded with a live cartridge! The muzzle of the pistol must be pointing in a safe direction at all times, and fingers should be outside of the trigger guard. The safety can be engaged whether the pistol is cocked or not. Remove the magazine from the pistol by pushing in on the magazine latch.
Hold the pistol firmly and grasp the slide. Retract the slide to its rearmost position briskly to extract and eject any chambered cartridge. Always double check visually that the chamber, breech-face, and the interior of the frame are clear of any live rounds. When the slide is fully retracted, push upward on the slide stop, then allow the slide to move forward until it comes to rest with the rear projection of the slide stop resting in the notch on the lower left side of the slide.
Always keep fingers away from trigger! Never put any part of your hands or body over the muzzle while retracting the slide for loading, unloading, inspection, or clearing a malfunction. To close the slide, again check to be sure the chamber and breech-face are empty.
Pull the slide to its rearmost postion and release it. The slide will snap forward. Keep fingers out of ejection port on top of slide!
If the magazine contains cartridges, they can be removed by sliding each cartridge forward and out of magazine, one at a time, until the magazine is empty. Push empty unloaded magazine into frame until magazine latch locks it in place.
Firing all cartridges in the magazine and the chamber will cause the slide to automatically lock open. Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction. The magazine will fall free of the pistol of its own weight. To avoid the possibility of damage to the magazine, do not let it fall to the ground unless rapid reloading is absolutely necessary. Insert a loaded magazine. Release the slide to move forward by either depressing the rear portion of the slide stop or pulling the slide fully to the rear and release it.
A cartridge will be chambered when the slide shuts. It can also be recocked to fire in the single-action mode. When you are finished firing the pistol, unload it completely See pages 12 - The action causes extraction and ejection of the fired cartridge case. When the slide is operated by hand, there can be a failure to extract the cartridge from the chamber, or a failure to eject the cartridge clear of the pistol. These failures usually are the result of the slide not being pulled rearward vigorously.
From the foregoing, it is clear that the gun user must: 1. Always visually check the chamber and the breech-face after opening the slide to eject a chambered cartridge. Thoroughly clean the chamber and the extractor as often as necessary.
If an empty magazine is in the pistol when the slide is being hand retracted to extract a cartridge, the cartridge may drop on top of the magazine or remain held to the breech-face by the extractor.
Then when the slide goes forward, the cartridge will be chambered again! Remember — always remove the magazine before clearing the chamber, and visually ensure that no cartridges remain in the gun. If a cartridge hangs up, jams, or binds when being chambered, do not attempt to force it into the chamber by pushing or striking the slide. Carefully remove it. Most failures of a cartridge to feed or to chamber properly are caused by a damaged magazine, incorrect gun handling, insufficient lubrication, or improper ammunition.
Whatever the cause, the user of the pistol must, above all, recognize that any cartridge jam can result in the very potentially dangerous situation of a cartridge discharging before it is properly chambered. If this happens, the cartridge case may rupture and its fragments fly out of the ejection port of the pistol with sufficient force to cause serious injury.
Always wear shooting glasses! If possible, first remove the magazine. It may be necessary to manually remove a jammed cartridge that has only been partially stripped from the magazine. If so, use extreme care. Lock the slide open with the slide stop before attempting to clear the jam. Drawing the slide fully to the rear may bring the jammed cartridge along.
Keep your face away from the ejection port during this operation. Visually check to make sure that all cartridges have been removed from the pistol. Safely dispose of any cartridges involved in a malfunction incident.
Do not use damaged ammunition in any firearm. If it appears that the jam was caused by the type of ammunition being used, try another brand, type, or lot number. Remember — use only factory ammunition of the correct caliber.
If changing ammunition does not at once result in smooth feeding of cartridges from magazine to chamber, then the following steps should be taken: a. Thoroughly clean the pistol, paying particular attention to the removal of accumulated grease and dirt. Use a bristle brush and solvent to remove grease and fouling from the breech-face, extractor, chamber, and feed ramp area immediately behind the chamber.
Check to be sure that the magazine spring firmly returns the magazine follower to the top of the magazine. Check the magazine lips to be certain that they are free of nicks and burrs and that they are not deformed or cracked. Remove excess oil and solvent from all cleaned components, load the magazine, and try the pistol again.
Make sure you are following the correct loading and firing sequence as described in this manual. If none of the above steps is effective, try a different magazine of Ruger manufacture.
If a new magazine does not function correctly, return the pistol and magazines to the Ruger Service Department. For maximum safety when carrying the pistol with a loaded magazine in place, the chamber should be empty, the slide should be closed, and the pistol should be decocked.
Never carry it cocked! If placed into a holster, check it to be sure that the slide is not retracted far enough to either chamber a cartridge from the magazine or cock the pistol. The user should never depend on any mechanical device to justify careless handling or permitting the pistol to point in an unsafe direction.
The shooter should always be alert to the possibility of accidental discharge. The only absolutely safe pistol is one in which the slide is open, the chamber is empty, and there is no magazine in the gun. Immediately following the firing of a shot, and if a subsequent shot is not to be fired at once, put the safety in its safe position lever fully down, white dot and the word Safe exposed while the pistol is still pointing in a safe direction downrange. This will also uncock decock the pistol.
When the last cartridge loaded into the pistol has been fired, the magazine follower presses the slide stop upward to engage the slide automatically holding the action open. If the slide is shut, the shooter should always assume that there is a cartridge in the chamber!
Dont rely on your memory to know if a gun or magazine is loaded. Visually inspect the magazine and chamber. The hammer will drop near the end of the levers travel. Although this may appear startling, it is important to note that the firing pin is cammed forward into the slide and locked in a neutral position thus preventing forward movement toward the cartridge; therefore, the pistol will not fire when the safety is applied.
Manually decocking the hammer with the thumb is neither necessary nor recommended. Always use either the right- or left-hand safety lever. Remember that when you release the decocking lever, it will automatically return to the firing position, and the pistol can then fire when the trigger is pulled if a cartridge is in the chamber. To do so, keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction, engage the safety lever fully down, white dot and the word Safe exposed , grasp the slide, and retract it fully to the rear.
Next, push the slide stop upward so that the slide remains to the rear. Insert a single cartridge directly and fully into the chamber. Taking care to keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction, depress the slide stop. This will cause the slide to move vigorously forward into the firing position. Finally, rotate either safety lever to the Fire position -- now the pistol can be fired in the double-action mode.
Single-action firing is possible by manually cocking the hammer. Note that the slide will not automatically remain open if the pistol is fired without the magazine in place. The ejector must always be pivoted to its rearward upward position when firing the pistol without the magazine. Removing magazine does not unload pistol! To unload, first remove magazine, then pull slide to rear, eject chambered cartridge, and visually inspect chamber to be sure it is empty.
The safety should always be in its Safe position when loading or unloading the pistol. Always point the pistol in a safe direction when loading or unloading. Failure to do so can result in the chamber being unintentionally loaded with a live cartridge! The muzzle of the pistol must be pointing in a safe direction at all times, and fingers should be outside of the trigger guard. Put the safety in its safe position see Figure 1 on page 6 by rotating the safety fully downward until the word Safe is fully exposed and the white dot shows.
The safety can be engaged whether the pistol is cocked or not. Remove the magazine from the pistol by pushing in on the magazine latch. Hold the pistol firmly and grasp the slide.

Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction. Reloading can be accomplished by moving either the right- or left-hand safety lever fully downward to the safe position lever fully down, white dot and the word Safe exposed and then pressing forward on the magazine latch with the thumb or forefinger.
The magazine will fall free of the pistol of its own weight. To avoid the possibility of damage to the magazine, do not let it fall to the ground unless rapid reloading is absolutely necessary. Insert a loaded magazine. For this reason and as an essential safety practice, the safety of the pistol should always be fully on except when the user is positioned to fire the gun at a selected target. Release the slide to move forward by either depressing the rear portion of the slide stop or pulling the slide fully to the rear and release it.
A cartridge will be chambered when the slide shuts. If you are ready to fire immediately move the manual safety fully upward to its Fire position. It can also be recocked to fire in the single-action mode.
If the pistol is not to be fired immediately, depress the manual safety fully until the hammer drops and keep the safety on at all times except when actually firing. When you are finished firing the pistol, unload it completely See pages 12 - The action causes extraction and ejection of the fired cartridge case. If a cartridge fails to fire or if the shooter wishes to eject the chambered cartridge manually, follow the procedure To Unload step 3, p.
When the slide is operated by hand, there can be a failure to extract the cartridge from the chamber, or a failure to eject the cartridge clear of the pistol. These failures usually are the result of the slide not being pulled rearward vigorously.
From the foregoing, it is clear that the gun user must: 1. Always visually check the chamber and the breech-face after opening the slide to eject a chambered cartridge. If the slide is not vigorously retracted when being operated by hand, the extracted cartridge can be ejected into the magazine-well of the grip frame or remain held to the breech-face by the extractor. Thoroughly clean the chamber and the extractor as often as necessary.
If an empty magazine is in the pistol when the slide is being hand retracted to extract a cartridge, the cartridge may drop on top of the magazine or remain held to the breech-face by the extractor. Then when the slide goes forward, the cartridge will be chambered again! Remember always remove the magazine before clearing the chamber, and visually ensure that no cartridges remain in the gun.

Be certain the muzzle is continually pointed in a safe direction and that the safety levers are in the safe position each lever fully down, white dot and the word Safe exposed. If possible, first remove the magazine.
It may be necessary to manually remove a jammed cartridge that has only been partially stripped from the magazine. If so, use extreme care. Lock the slide open with the slide stop before attempting to clear the jam. Drawing the slide fully to the rear may bring the jammed cartridge along. Keep your face away from the ejection port during this operation. When attempting to clear a jam, use only wood tools so that the cartridge will not be damaged or the primer ignited.
Visually check to make sure that all cartridges have been removed from the pistol. Safely dispose of any cartridges involved in a malfunction incident. Do not use damaged ammunition in any firearm. If it appears that the jam was caused by the type of ammunition being used, try another brand, type, or lot number. Remember use only factory ammunition of the correct caliber.
