FIREARM SAFETY
! WARNING! When a firearm discharges, the projec le can strike a person,
resul ng in serious bodily injury or even death.

The four primary rules to safely handling firearms are:

1. TREAT EVERY FIREARM AS IF IT IS LOADED.

2. ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

3. DO NOT LOAD THE FIREARM UNTIL READY TO USE.

4. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO FIRE.

! WARNING! It is impera ve to familiarize yourself with your surroundings


while shoo ng at a target. Projec les can penetrate targets and con nue to
travel, poten ally injuring someone or damaging something. Even small cali-
ber ammuni on is capable of traveling upwards of a mile in distance.

! WARNING! Always wear eye protec on when using a firearm. As a firearm


discharges, it expels hot gases and par cles traveling at high speeds. This can
harm your eyes and cause vision impairment. When choosing eyewear, be
sure to look for ANSI Z87.1-2003 cer fied eyewear for op mal protec on.

6 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
FIREARM SAFETY
! WARNING! Always wear hearing protec on when using a firearm. Every
firearm has the poten al to cause temporary and/or permanent hearing loss.
That poten al is amplified when a firearm is discharged indoors. Make sure
your hearing protec on has an adequate decibel ra ng to ensure proper
noise reduc on. It is always recommended to supplement the protec on with
addi onal ear plugs.

! WARNING! Do not handle firearms while under the influence of drugs or


alcohol. Never use your firearm if you are taking any medica on which im-
pairs, even slightly, your mental or physical ability. Not only is it illegal to use
a firearm while under the influence, but it is simply unwise to do so.

! WARNING! Unauthorized modifica ons can be dangerous. Mechanical


modifica ons, such as polishing internal parts or installing a ermarket parts,
can cause a firearm to perform in ways different than intended. Some modifi-
ca ons can be considered illegal. Be sure to have repairs executed by a quali-
fied gunsmith or by a factory-authorized repair site.

! WARNING! Damaged firearms can be dangerous. Physical damage, such


as corrosion or deforma on, can cause a firearm to malfunc on which can
lead to personal injury or death. Be sure to have repairs executed by a quali-
fied gunsmith or by a factory-authorized repair site.

! WARNING! Never a empt to disassemble or clean a loaded firearm. Acci-


dental discharges happen all too o en while disassembling loaded firearms.
Be sure to properly unload the firearm and “clear” it for safety.

! WARNING! You, the owner, are the most important safety device when it
comes to the use of your firearm. Relying on your discipline and the infor-
ma on found in this manual is the greatest safety feature of all.

7 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
FIREARM SAFETY
! WARNING! This pistol does not come
equipped with a magazine disconnect safety.
There may s ll be a cartridge in the chamber
even when the magazine is removed. A car-
tridge in the chamber will discharge if the trig-
ger is pulled, even in the absence of an inserted
magazine. 1

! WARNING! If the trigger is forward, there


may s ll be a cartridge loaded inside the cham-
ber.

Follow these steps in their en rety to safely


unload and clear your pistol:

! WARNING! Remember to keep the muzzle


pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the
trigger.

1. Remove the magazine by depressing the


magazine catch bu on found on the le
side of the grip [Figure 1].

8 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
FIREARM SAFETY
2. Firmly hold the grip with your firing hand
and use your support hand to grip the rear
of the slide. Pull rearward on the slide, us-
ing the serra ons for addi onal grip, and
lock the slide rearward on the slide stop
lever by manually pushing the slide stop
lever up into the recessed cut of the slide 2
[Figure 2]. If a round was already cham-
bered, this will eject the live round from
the firearm.

3. With the slide held open by the slide stop


lever, visually [Figure 3] and physically feel
[Figure 4] to make sure the pistol chamber
is empty of a cartridge.

9 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
AMMUNITION
! CAUTION! The majority of firearm ammuni on contains lead in the pro-
jec le. Firing your pistol in poorly ven lated areas as well as handling ammu-
ni on can increase your chances of lead exposure. Be sure to wash your
hands a er handling ammuni on and a er performing maintenance on your
firearm to help reduce lead absorp on.

! WARNING! Loading and firing your pistol with incorrect caliber ammuni-
on will result in firearm malfunc on and/or damage, as well as serious bodily
injury to the user.

! WARNING! Use only high quality, commercial ammuni on that has been
kept clean and dry, and is in good condi on. Old, damaged or wet ammuni-
on may provide improper discharge pressures that can damage your pistol.
Do not oil cartridges. It is not recommend to use remanufactured or hand-
loaded ammuni on due to the risk of improper loading, which can damage
the pistol and injure you or others.

! WARNING! Listen for irregular sounds when firing firearms, as any irregu-
lari es in combus on can lead to greater problems. If you hear an irregular
discharge, stop firing immediately. Proceed with removing the magazine and
clearing the pistol of any rounds in the chamber. Con nue to disassemble the
pistol in accordance with the procedures listed in this manual. Once the barrel
is removed from the slide, look down the bore to ensure there is a clear and
visible path; this will ensure there is no projec le stuck in the barrel. If the
barrel’s bore is obstructed, do not fire the pistol again and contact the Pal-
me o State Armory customer service department immediately.

10 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
LOCKING DEVICE
This pistol is supplied with a cable lock from the
factory. It is important to use the locking de-
vice for your pistol. Follow these steps to safely
lock your pistol:

! WARNING! Remember to keep the muzzle 5


pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the
trigger.

1. Remove the magazine from the pistol


[Figure 5].

2. Pull and lock the slide back to the rear


6
[Figure 6].

3. Visually and physically feel to make sure


the pistol chamber is empty of a cartridge.

4. Insert the lock through the ejec on port of


the slide and down the magazine well of
the grip [Figure 7].

5. Insert the loose end of the cable into the 7


lock with the key turned all the way clock-
wise. Turn the key counterclockwise to
engage the lock and remove the key.

6. Give the cable a pull to ensure proper con-


nec on of the lock and cable.

11 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
LOCKING DEVICE
! WARNING! Never leave the keys inserted in
the lock or store the keys in the same loca on
as the locked firearm [Figure 8].

! WARNING! Store your unloaded and locked


firearm in a secure loca on away from children
and ammuni on. 8

! WARNING! Do not install lock through the


trigger guard of the pistol.

12 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
GENERAL OPERATION
! WARNING! Always wear hearing and eye
protec on when opera ng a firearm.

Step 1: Load the magazine. To begin using your fire-


arm, start by loading a magazine. In order to do so,
insert each cartridge into the magazine from the top.
Press down on the front of the follower with the
cartridge rim, compressing the spring, and then slide
9
the cartridge rearward under the magazine lips while
keeping the follower depressed [Figure 9]. Repeat
un l the magazine holds the desired number of car-
tridges or reaches the design capacity limit [Figure
10].

Step 2: Inser ng the magazine. Insert the magazine


into the magazine well, with cartridges facing for-
ward. Apply upward force un l the magazine catch
engages the magazine [Figure 11]. This is usually
indicated by a tac le and audible “click”. 10

No ce: A fully loaded magazine can some mes re-


quire more force to load into a firearm with its slide
in the forward posi on due to the addi onal pres-
sure required to compress the spring, which is al-
ready near max compression.

11

13 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
GENERAL OPERATION
Step 3: Chamber a cartridge. There are two methods
for chambering a cartridge, which depend on the
posi on of the slide at the me of chambering.
3A: Slide forward. If the slide is in the forward
posi on, you must manually cycle the firearm.
To do this, first ensure that your trigger finger is
off the trigger and outside of the trigger guard
area. Next, firmly hold the grip with your firing
hand and use your support hand to grip the rear 12
of the slide. Pull rearward on the slide, using the
serra ons for addi onal grip [Figure 12]. Next,
release the slide at its rearmost posi on, allow-
ing the slide to travel forward under its own
spring force.

Note: Do NOT “ride the slide” forward with


your support hand, as this will cause the
firearm to jam due to the addi onal drag
caused by your hand pressure. 13

3B: Slide locked rearward. If the slide is locked


in the rearward posi on, first begin by ensuring
your trigger finger is off the trigger and outside
of the trigger guard area. Next, you may choose
one of two methods to chamber the cartridge.
One method is to grip the rear of the slide and
pull rearward, then release the slide and allow it
to travel forward on its own [Figure 12]. An al-
ternate method is to press downward on the
slide catch lever [Figure 13]. This will release the
slide and allow it to travel forward under its own
spring pressure. Both methods will result in the
slide travelling to the forward posi on.

! WARNING! A cartridge is now chambered


and the firearm is ready to be fired.

14 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
GENERAL OPERATION
Step 4: Firing. The firearm is now ready to be fired.
Ensure that all rules of firearm safety are followed, as
defined in “Firearm Safety” Page 5. Confirm your
target and all that is beyond it. If clear to fire, point
the firearm at the target. Ensure that your grip does
not interfere with the rearward cycling ac on of the
firearm.

! CAUTION! When you fire, the slide will


travel very quickly and forcefully rearward. If
your finger, thumb, hand or any other body
part is in its path, injury may occur and/or the
firearm may be jammed by obstruc ng its abil-
ity to cycle.

Next confirm your point of aim by aligning the front


and rear sights with your target. Once your target
and sight picture are acquired, gently pull the trigger
rearward. Be sure not to jerk the trigger, as this mo-
on may cause your muzzle to dri right or le be-
fore the trigger is fully rearward. Also, be sure to
have a firm grip and proper control of the firearm
throughout the firing cycle. If the firearm is allowed
to recoil excessively due to a loose grip (known as
“limp wris ng”), it may jam due to the slide not be-
ing able to travel far enough rearward rela ve to the
frame. Upon firing, the spent case will be ejected
forcefully from the ejec on port as the slide travels
rearward. The slide will then feed a new round from
the magazine and chamber it as it returns forward.
The firearm is now ready to be fired again. This pro-
cess can be repeated un l the last round is fired.
Upon firing the last round, the spent case will be
ejected and the slide catch will be ac vated by the
follower of the now-empty magazine. The slide stop
lever will do just as its name implies and will “stop”
the slide and hold it in the rearward (open) posi on
[Figure 14]. 14

15 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
GENERAL OPERATION
Step 5: Reload. To reload the firearm, depress the
magazine catch bu on found on the le side of the
grip [Figure 15]. This will allow the empty magazine
to fall free. Following the procedure described in
Step 2 above, reload a new magazine into the fire-
arm. Then, following Step 3 above, a new round can
be chambered and you may resume firing opera on.

Step 6: Unload. Follow direc ons from “FIREARM 15


SAFETY - Unloading and clearing your pistol” - Page 7
-8.

16 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
DISASSEMBLY
! WARNING! Always wear eye protec on
every me before handling your firearm for
cleaning and maintenance.
! WARNING! Always ensure the firearm is
unloaded before handling your firearm for
cleaning and maintenance.

Step 1: Clear the firearm. Begin by confirming the 16


firearm is clear, as described in “FIREARM SAFETY -
Unloading and clearing your pistol” - Page 7-8.

Step 2: Depress trigger. With the firearm empty and


pointed in a safe direc on, fully pull the trigger rear-
ward.

Step 3: Remove slide. To remove the slide, complete


the following procedure in this order.
Step 3A: Place your hand around the firearm as 17
shown in Figure 16.
Step 3B: Squeeze your thumb and fingers to-
gether, while applying rearward pressure on the
rear sight with your index finger. You will feel
the slide unlock and begin to move rearward.
Allow it to travel rearward un l approximately 3
-4mm of the slide hang over the rear of the
frame. (Note: Do not allow it to move much
more than this distance rearward, as it will reset
the trigger and you will have to start the process 18
over from the beginning.) Hold it in this posi on
[Figure 17].
Step 3C: Using your support hand, pull the slide
lock fully downward on both sides [Figure 18].
Step 3D: Release pressure with your firing hand,
allowing the slide to move forward. Con nue
moving the slide straight forward un l it is clear
of the frame [Figure 19].

DISASSEMBLY
Step 4: Remove the recoil spring assembly. Remove
the assembly by pressing the rear of the assembly
toward the muzzle roughly 3-4mm, then rota ng it
upward to clear the lugs on the bo om of the barrel .
Release the pressure and remove the en re assem-
bly from the slide [Figure 20].

Step 5: Remove the barrel. Begin by holding the slide


in an inverted orienta on. Remove the barrel by 20
gripping the locking lugs on its underside, then li ing
and applying forward pressure. Do so un l the barrel
protrudes from the slide (at the muzzle) roughly 6-
8mm. Con nue to li the rear while also sliding the
barrel rearward and upward along its current bore
axis un l it is clear of the slide [Figure 21].

The pistol is now in the “field stripped” condi on


[Figure 22].

Step 1: Insert the barrel into the slide. While holding
the slide in an inverted orienta on and the barrel
with its locking lugs facing upward, insert the muzzle
end of the barrel through the hole at the front of the
slide [Figure 23]. Push it forward un l roughly 6-8mm
of barrel protrudes from the slide. Next, lower the
rear (chamber) end of the barrel into the slide. Then
slide it rearward un l it seats fully into the slide.

Step 2: Insert the recoil assembly into the slide.


Begin by inser ng the forward end of the recoil as- 24
sembly into the smaller hole at the front of the slide.
Apply forward pressure to the rear of the assembly,
compressing it enough to clear the lugs on the
bo om of the barrel (roughly 3-4mm). Rotate it
downward un l it seats into the rounded pocket on
the front side of the barrel lug. Release pressure
from the rear, allowing it to lock rearward against
the barrel lug [Figure 24].

19 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
ASSEMBLY
Step 3: Install the slide onto the frame. Begin by
holding the frame with your firing hand, while ensur-
ing that your trigger finger is off the trigger and out-
side of the trigger guard area. Pick up the slide with
your support hand and align its rail slots with the
rails at the front of the frame [Figure 25]. With these
aligned, pull the slide rearward, as if you were cycling
the firearm [Figure 26]. You should hear an audible
“click” as the slide lock reengages the barrel. Con n- 25
ue to pull it fully rearward un l it reaches the maxi-
mum range of travel, ensuring you maintain align-
ment between slide and frame throughout the com-
plete cycle.

The firearm is now fully reassembled and ready to be


checked for func on before firing [Figure 27], as
described in “Func on Check” - Page 21-22.

FUNCTION CHECK
! WARNING! Always wear eye protec on
while handling your firearm for cleaning and
maintenance.
! WARNING! Always ensure the firearm is
unloaded before handling your firearm for
cleaning and maintenance.

It is strongly recommended that a er reassembly, 28


you perform the following func on checks to ensure
everything went back together correctly and is work-
ing properly.

Step 1: Clear the firearm. Begin by confirming the


firearm is clear, as described in “FIREARM SAFETY -
Unloading and clearing your pistol” - Page 7-8.

Step 2: Check trigger reset. This check will ensure


your trigger is properly releasing the striker and re- 29
se ng. With the muzzle of the firearm pointed in a
safe direc on, pull the trigger rearward [Figure 28].
You will hear a “click” as the firing pin is released.
Now, while holding the firearm firmly with your firing
hand and keeping the trigger depressed, grip the
slide serra ons with your support hand and cycle the
slide rearward [Figure 29]. Once it reaches its maxi-
mum rearward travel, release it and allow it to return
home under its own spring power. Slowly release
pressure from the trigger un l a “click” is felt and 30
heard [Figure 30]. This is the trigger rese ng. Per-
form this test several mes to ensure proper func-
on. If your trigger does not reset, it is recommend-
ed that you consult a cer fied armorer for inspec-
on.

21 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
FUNCTION CHECK
Step 3: Check slide catch func on. This check will
ensure that your magazine will properly ac vate the
slide catch. Insert an empty magazine into the fire-
arm [Figure 31]. Ensure that your trigger finger is off
the trigger and outside of the trigger guard area.
Next, firmly hold the grip with your firing hand and
use your support hand to grip the rear of the slide.
Pull rearward on the slide, using the serra ons for
addi onal grip. Next, release the slide at its rearmost 31
posi on, allowing the slide to travel forward under
its own spring force [Figure 32]. The slide should not
return home, but instead should lock open on the
slide catch [Figure 33]. If your slide catch does not
catch the slide, it is recommended that you consult a
cer fied armorer for inspec on.

22 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
MAINTENANCE
! CAUTION! To maintain a firearm in its safe
opera ng condi on, it is important to keep a
firearm clean and lubricated. Regularly check
the firearm for dirt build up and proper lubrica-
on.
! WARNING! Always wear eye protec on
while handling your firearm for cleaning and
maintenance. 34

! WARNING! Always ensure the firearm is


unloaded before handling your firearm for
cleaning and maintenance.

Cleaning recommenda ons:


x A er each use or 500 rounds, whichever comes
first
x Once a year, if stored for long periods of me
x If exposed to nontypical elements, such as wa-
ter, sand/mud, etc.
x For every 1,000 rounds, the slide should be
completely stripped down for a deep cleaning
(Page 26-27)

Step 1: Clear the firearm. Begin by confirming the


firearm is clear, as described in “FIREARM SAFETY -
Unloading and clearing your pistol” - Page 7-8.

Step 2: Field strip the firearm. Disassemble the fire-


arm, as described in “Disassembly” - Page 17-18
[Figure 34].

23 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
MAINTENANCE
Step 3: Clean the barrel. Using a cleaning rod, pass a
patch soaked in bore cleaner through the barrel sev-
eral mes star ng from the chamber end. Next, pass
a cleaning brush through the barrel several mes
with more bore cleaner to remove any copper foul-
ing and powder residue. Follow up with another
patch and bore cleaning to ensure all residue is
cleaned from the bore - if the patch is not clean,
repeat cleaning with the brush un l a clean patch
exits the barrel. Once the barrel is clean, pass a
patch coated in gun oil through it once more to help
preserve the barrel bore and rifling. Clean the out-
side of the barrel with a nylon brush and cleaner-
lubricant and then wipe clean.

Step 4: Clean the slide. While holding the muzzle end


of the slide downward, clean the inside of the slide
with a nylon brush and cleaner-lubricant, making
sure to clean the following loca ons thoroughly:

a. Breech Face
b. Extractor Claw
c. Slide Rails

Wipe down the slide and inspect for cleanliness.

Note: It is important to keep the removed foul-


ing and excess cleaner from the striker area.
Excess cleaner-lubricant around the striker can
result in excessive residue build up during firing
which can impair the trigger pull and/or cause
35
failures to fire.

24 Always keep muzzle pointed in a safe direc on and finger off the trigger.
MAINTENANCE
Step 5: Clean the frame. Clean the inside of the
frame with a nylon brush and cleaner-lubricant mak-
ing sure to clean the following loca ons thoroughly:
