Removing a Cartridge
from the Magazine

To remove a cartridge from the magazine, press on the cartridge until
it clicks, then release. The slot has a spring-release action.
Caution: Sliding the metal tab aside to remove a cartridge from the
magazine is the leading cause of magazine errors. Always
use the push-and-release method to insert and extract
cartridges.
