AMMUNITION The RUGER ® SR-SERIES pistols are chambered for the 9mm Parabellum (SR9 & SR9c), 40 S&W (SR40 & SR40c) or 45 Auto (SR45) cartridges. Do not attempt to load any other cartridges into the magazine or chamber of the pistol. The SR-SERIES pistols are compatible with all factory ammunition of the correct caliber loaded to U.S. Industry Standards, including high-velocity and hollow-point loads, loaded in brass, aluminum, or steel cartridge cases. No 9mm Parabellum, 40 S&W or 45 Auto ammunition manufactured in accordance with NATO, U.S., SAAMI, or CIP standards is known to be beyond the design limits or known not to function in these pistols. WARNING–AMMUNITION Death, serious injury, and damage can result from the use of wrong ammunition, bore obstructions, powder overloads, or incorrect cartridge components. Always wear shooting glasses and hearing protection. IMPROPER AMMUNITION DESTROYS GUNS AMMUNITION (CARTRIDGES) NOTICE WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY WHATSOEVER OCCURRING IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THE USE IN RUGER FIREARMS OF FAULTY, OR NON- STANDARD, OR “RE-MANUFACTURED”, OR HAND-LOADED (RELOADED) AMMUNITION, OR OF CARTRIDGES OTHER THAN THOSE FOR WHICH THE FIREARM WAS ORIGINALLY CHAMBERED. WARNING - LEAD EXPOSURE Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other substances known to the State of California to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure. 14 SHOOTING OR CLEANING GUNS MAY EXPOSE YOU TO LEAD
TO LOAD AND FIRE Practice this important aspect of safe gun handling with an unloaded pistol until you can perform each of the steps described below with skill and confidence. But before you do anything with the pistol, first read completely through this manual. 1. Be certain the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction. (See “The Basic Rules of Safe Firearms Handling,” page 43.) 2. Pull the slide fully to the rear until the slide stops, and lock it open. (See Figure 7.) 3. Press the magazine latch inward from either side and remove the magazine from the frame. NOTE: The magazine is designed to fall free of the frame of its own weight when unloaded, the slide is locked open and the pistol is held in the normal firing position. You should always prevent possible damage to the magazine by not letting it drop to the ground unless rapid reloading is absolutely necessary. 4. For the 10-rd magazines, place ten or fewer cartridges into the magazine from the top. For the 17-rd magazine, place seventeen or fewer cartridges in the magazine. For the 15-rd magazine, place fifteen or fewer cartridges in the magazine. The magazine has holes on the side to assist in counting the number of cartridges in the magazine. NOTE: When using the 17-round magazine in the SR9C TM , use the Magazine Adapter to ensure reliable feeding. 5. Insert the magazine into the frame, taking care that the magazine is locked in place by the magazine latch. Slamming the magazine into the frame forcibly is not necessary. 6. Hold the pistol firmly in the shooting hand but do not touch the trigger. Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction. With the thumb and forefinger of the other hand grasp the rear of the slide and pull the slide to the rear as far as it will go (see Figure 7, below and “Slide Retraction Warning”, p. 20). When released, the slide will fly forward to strip the top cartridge from the magazine and chamber it. 15 Figure 7 Retracting the Slide
