3.0 Ammunition
1. Use only high-quality, original, actory-manuactured ammunition. Do not
use cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded, bent, or damaged. Do not oil
cartridges. Do not spray aerosol-type lubricants, preservatives, or cleaners
directly onto cartridges or where excess spray may fow into contact
with cartridges. Lubricant or other oreign matter on cartridges can cause
potentially dangerous ammunition malunctions. Only use ammunition
o the caliber or which your rearm is chambered. The proper caliber is
permanently engraved on your rearm; never attempt to use ammunition o
any other caliber. The Sig Sauer 1911-22 pistol is designed to unction with
22 Long Rife High Velocity ammunition only.
2. The use o reloaded, “remanuactured” hand-loaded, or other non-
standard ammunition voids all warranties. Reloading is a science and
improperly loaded ammunition can be extremely dangerous. Severe damageto the rearm and serious injury to the shooter or to others may result.
Always use ammunition that complies with the industry perormance
standards established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manuacturers’
Institute, Inc. (SAAMI) o the United States or ammunition manuactured to
military specications.
WARNING – AMMUNITION (CARTRIDGE)NOTICE
SIG SAUER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE
OR INJURY WHATSOEVER OCCURRING IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A
RESULT OF, THE USE IN ANY SIG SAUER FIREARM OF FAULTY, NON-
STANDARD, “REMANUFACTURED” HAND-LOADED (RELOADED) AMMUNITION,
OR CARTRIDGES OTHER THAN THOSE FOR WHICH THE FIREARM WAS
ORIGINALLY CHAMBERED.

3. Firearms may be severely damaged and serious injury to the shooter or
to others may result rom any condition causing excessive pressure inside
the chamber or barrel during ring. Excessive pressure can be caused by
obstructions in the barrel, propellant powder overloads, the use o incorrect
cartridges, or deectively assembled cartridges. In addition, the use o a
dirty, corroded, or damaged cartridge can lead to a burst cartridge case and
consequent damage to the rearm and personal injury rom the sudden
escape o high-pressure propellant gas within the rearm’s mechanism.
4. Immediately stop shooting and check the barrel or a possible obstruction
whenever:
• You have diculty in, or eel unusual resistance in, chambering a cartridge
• A cartridge misres (does not go o)
• The mechanism ails to extract a red cartridge case
• Unburned grains o propellant powder are discovered spilled in the
mechanism• A shot sounds weak or abnormal. In such cases it is possible that a bullet
is lodged partway down the barrel. Firing a subsequent bullet into the
obstructed barrel can wreck the rearm and cause serious injury to the
shooter or to bystanders
5. Bullets can become lodged in the barrel:
• I the cartridge has been improperly loaded without propellant powder,
or i the powder ails to ignite (ignition o the cartridge primer alone will
push the bullet out o the cartridge case, but usually does not generate
sucient energy to expel the bullet completely rom the barrel).
• I the bullet is not properly seated in the cartridge case. When such a
cartridge is extracted rom the chamber without being red, the bullet
may be let behind in the bore at the point where the rifing begins.
Subsequent chambering o another cartridge may push the rst bullet
urther into the bore.

when it counts™
6. I there is any reason to suspect that a bullet is obstructing the barrel,
immediately unload the rearm and look through the bore. It is not sucient
to merely look in the chamber. A bullet may be lodged some distance down
the barrel where it cannot easily be seen.
WARNING – LODGED BULLET
IF A BULLET IS IN THE BORE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT BY USING
ANOTHER CARTRIDGE OR BY BLOWING IT OUT WITH A BLANK OR ONE
FROM WHICH THE BULLET HAS BEEN REMOVED. SUCH TECHNIQUES CAN
GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE, DAMAGE THE FIREARM, AND CAUSE
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
I the bullet can be removed with a cleaning rod, clean any unburned
powder grains rom the bore, chamber, and mechanism beore resumingshooting. I the bullet cannot be dislodged by tapping it with a cleaning rod,
send the rearm to SIG SAUER.
7. Dirt, corrosion, or other oreign matter on a cartridge can impede
complete chambering and may cause the cartridge case to burst upon ring.
The same is true o cartridges that are damaged or deormed.
8. Do not oil cartridges, and be sure to wipe the chamber clean o any
oil or preservative beore commencing to shoot. Oil intereres with the
riction between cartridge case and chamber wall that is necessary or sae
unctioning, and subjects the rearm to stress similar to that imposed by
excessive pressure.
9. Use lubricants sparingly on the moving parts o your rearm. Avoid
excessive spraying o any aerosol gun care product, especially where it may

get on ammunition. All lubricants and aerosol spray lubricants, in particular,
can penetrate cartridge primers and cause misres. Some highly penetrative
lubricants can also migrate inside cartridge cases and cause deterioration
o the propellant powder; on ring, the powder may not ignite. I only the
primer ignites, there is danger that the bullet may become lodged in the
barrel.
