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

extreme humidity, condensation, immersion in water, or other adverse
conditions, disassemble, clean, and oil it. Proper periodic maintenance is 
essential to the reliable functioning of any firearm.

5.  Before firing, remove all oil and grease from the bore. Do not keep the
pistol stored in a leather holster or case. Leather attracts moisture, even
though the holster or case may appear to be perfectly dry.

manner that it may be dislodged. Firearms
