Safely Unload Your Semi Auto Pistols
1] Handle your semi-auto pistols safely. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, treat the firearm as if it is loaded, and keep your finger off the trigger.
2] Eject the magazine.
3] Empty the chamber.
Pull the slide back and visually and physically (stick your finger in there) check that there aren’t any cartridges in the magazine well or in the chamber. Be double-sure your firearm is unloaded. You do not want an unexpected boom while stripping your firearm.
4] Make sure to remove all ammunition from the area, ideally to another room while cleaning the weapon.
