Caring for your Pistol
WARNING
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE, 
MAKE SURE THE PISTOL IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. 
THIS INCLUDES THE MAGAZINE AND CHAMBER.
Follow these instructions and your SIG SAUER pistol will remain in excellent
condition even after years of hard service.
NOTE: Your SIG SAUER pistol comes from the factory with a light coating of
protective grease and oils. Before you fire the pistol, you should disassemble,
clean and lubricate it as recommended on this page.
WARNING
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY DISASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE 
YOU ARE WEARING EYE  PROTECTION
Barrel and chamber:
Clean the barrel and the chamber from the rear with a quality cleaning solvent,
using a cleaning rod and brush of the correct caliber. Never clean the barrel
from the muzzle end. Wipe the interior and exterior of the barrel free of all
residue. Lightlylubricate the barrel, inside and out, with a quality lubricant
designed for firearms.  
Breech face and locking insert:
Use a small nylon bristle brush to thoroughly clean these areas.
External metal surfaces:
After each use, wipe all metal surfaces with a cloth lightly soaked with a 
lubricant preservative. This will remove any foreign material and preserve the 
finish of the pistol. Lightly lubricate the recoil spring (3), recoil spring guide (2)
and frame rails before reassembling the pistol.
NOTE:Some cleaning solvents may be harmful to the finish of your pistol.
Read the solvent manufacturer's product use instructions and warning labels
before using.  
IMPORTANTIt is your responsibility to maintain your pistol. 
If rust appears in the bore, the barrel should be replaced.
PRIOR TO SHOOTING MAKE SURE THE BORE IS DRY.

Transport and Storage
When transporting your pistol, keep it unloaded for your safety and for the 
safety of others. Know and comply with all laws governing the transport of
firearms in your locality. When storing your pistol, keep it unloaded and 
separated from ammunition, under lock and key and out of the reach of 
children and other inexperienced or unauthorized persons. 
Returning your Firearm 
When you return a pistol to the SIGARMS Inc. Service Department, here's
what to do: 
1.  The first step is to contact Customer Service at (603) 772-2302 for an RMA
number.  This number allows SIGARMS to track the status of your return 
from it’s receipt at SIGARMS through it’s return to you.  Please don’t send 
your firearm until you obtain an RMA number.
2.  Make sure that the chamber and magazine(s) are unloaded and that no 
ammunition is included with your returned firearm. 
3.  Package the firearm securely to prevent damage. Enclose a letter which 
includes your name, street address, daytime phone number, pistol model 
and serial number, and a detailed description of the problem you have 
experienced or the work you want performed. With the exception of extra    
magazines, do not include cases, scopes, mounts or other accessories.
4.  Generally, an individual may ship firearms to the manufacturer for repair or 
service. Some states and localities, however, prohibit this. If you live in 
such an area, the firearms must be shipped by and returned to a Federally 
Licensed Firearms Dealer. 
5.  Federal law prohibits persons who do not possess a Federal Firearms 
License from shipping a handgun via the U.S. Postal Service. (Note: Any 
shipment of firearms outside of the USA borders is subject to the valid law 
of the specific country, which you must strictly follow.) 
6.  SIGARMS is not responsible for any firearm until it is received, nor for 
damage incurred during shipment.
7.  Ship your firearms insured and prepaid (we don't accept collect 
shipments) to:

Sights
The SIG SAUER pistol is equipped with drift adjustable fixed sights which have
proven their worth under severe conditions. The sights consist of a rear sight and a
front sight blade, designed and dimensioned to ensure rapid target acquisition even
when visibility is poor. You can adjust the sights as follows:
Windage (left/right):Change windage by moving the rear sight either to the left
or right in its dovetail. When you do this, follow the rear sight rule: Move the rear
sight in the direction you want the group to go. Moving the rear sight 0.020"
in the dovetail changes the point of impact by approximately 3" at 25 yards.
(Note:SIGARMS has available a Sight Adjustment Tool which makes
it easier to adjust and change sights.)
Elevation (up/down):There are different height combinations available for the
front and rear sights. The sights are numbered according to their height. You can
change elevation by changing either the rear or front sight. It's easier if you change
the rear sight first. Each rear sight change will move the impact of the bullet
approximately 2" at 25 yards. Each front sight change will move the impact of
the bullet approximately 1" at 25 yards.
When changing sights, remember this rule: NUMBERS UP, GROUPS UP;
NUMBERS DOWN, GROUPS DOWN.  This is true for both front & rear sights.

Parts
Before you order any parts, please be advised that while most gunsmiths and
armorers are perfectly capable of repairing your firearm, we can't vouch for any
individual's skill or workmanship. Remember, unauthorized adjustments or
parts replacement can void your service policy. Your SIG SAUER pistol is a
precision instrument and some replacement parts may require a trained gunsmith
or armorer to ensure proper operation. Don't take chances; if your firearm ever
needs service, simply return it to SIGARMS Inc. (see page 17). Remember to
always specify the MODEL, CALIBERand SERIAL NUMBERof your pistol
when ordering parts.
If you order a part without returning the pistol to SIGARMS Inc., youare
responsible for ensuring that the part supplied is correct for your particular pistol
and that it is properly installed and fitted by a qualified gunsmith or armorer.
Inspection and Maintenance
Even the best of pistols, like fine automobiles, require periodic maintenance
and inspection. This may reveal a need for adjustment or repair. Even if your
pistol seems to be working well, don't take chances... have it checked annually
by a qualified gunsmith or armorer.
If you notice any mechanical malfunction, STOPusing the firearm. UNLOAD
it and take it to a qualified gunsmith or armorer immediately for a thorough
examination. Similarly, if water, sand, or other debris enters the mechanism,
field strip the pistol immediately and thoroughly clean it. Failure to keep your
pistol cleaned, lubricated and in proper working order could lead to serious bodily
injury, death, or property damage.
