Sta
te-By-State Warnings
Certain states require by law that their own specified warning
notices in larger-than-normal type be conspicuously included by
the manufacturer, distributor, or retail dealer with firearms sold
in that state. Sturm, Ruger sells its products in compliance with
applicable laws and regulations. Because our products may be
sold in these states, we include the following:
California:
“A los niños los atraen las armas
de fuego y las pueden hacer funcionar. Ellos pueden causarses
lesions graves y la muerte. Evite
que los niños tengan accesso a las
armas de fuego guardándolas
siempre con llave y descargadas
cuando no las esté utilizando. Si
usted tiene un arma de fuego cargada en un lugar en que un niño
tiene acceso a ella y la usa indebidamente, le pueden dar una
multa o enviarlo a la carcel.”
Connecticut:
“UNLAWFUL STORAGE OF A LOADED FIREARM MAY
RESULT IN IMPRISONMENT OR FINE.”
Florida:
“IT IS UNLAWFUL, AND PUNISHABLE BY IMPRISONMENT AND FINE, FOR ANY ADULT TO STORE OR
LEAVE A FIREARM IN ANY PLACE WITHIN THE
REACH OR EASY ACCESS OF A MINOR UNDER 18
YEARS OF AGE OR TO KNOWINGLY SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OR POSSESSION OF A
FIREARM TO A MINOR OR A PERSON OF UNSOUND
MIND.”
Maine:
“ENDANGERING THE WELFARE OF A CHILD IS A
CRIME. IF YOU LEAVE A FIREARM AND AMMUNITION
WITHIN EASY ACCESS OF A CHILD, YOU MAY BE
SUBJECT TO FINE, IMPRISONMENT OR BOTH. KEEP
FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION SEPARATE. KEEP
FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION LOCKED UP. USE

have known that an unsupervised minor would gain access to
the firearm. Store your firearm responsibly!”
Massachusetts:
“WARNING FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY
GENERAL: This handgun is not equipped with a device that
fully blocks use by unauthorized users. More than 200,000
firearms like this one are stolen from their owners every year
in the United States. In addition, there are more than a thousand suicides each year by younger children and teenagers
who get access to firearms. Hundreds more die from accidental discharge. It is likely that many more children sustain serious wounds, or inflict such wounds accidentally on others. In
order to limit the chance of such misuse, it is imperative that
you keep this weapon locked in a secure place and take other
steps necessary to limit the possibility of theft or accident.
Failure to take reasonable preventive steps may result in innocent lives being lost, and in some circumstances may result in
your liability for these deaths.”
“IT IS UNLAWFUL TO STORE OR KEEP A FIREARM,

WHY ARE WE INCLUDING A FIRED CARTRIDGE CASE
WITH EVERY RUGER PISTOL AND REVOLVER?
Certain states and jurisdictions now require that all newly manufactured pistols
and revolvers must be accompanied by a cartridge case, which has been test fired
from that gun at the factory. The case must be placed in a sealed container bearing certain information concerning this test cartridge.
At the time of retail sale in those jurisdictions, firearms dealers must forward
such test cartridge to a designated destination such as their State Police
Laboratory. As independent Ruger Distributors have nationwide markets without
territorial restrictions, we have decided to include a fired cartridge case with all
new Ruger pistols and revolvers, to minimize the possibility of inadvertent noncompliance with these laws.
Retail customers located in other states, where laws or regulations do not require
the dealer to so act, may be assured that the fired cartridge case they receive with
the firearm at the time of retail purchase is proof that your new Ruger firearm
has undergone our normal test firing procedures during manufacture.
WARNING – LOCKING DEVICES
DO NOT INSTALL
INSIDE TRIGGER GUARD
INSTALL LOCK
AS SHOWN HERE
This firearm was originally sold
with a key-operated locking
device. While it can help provide
secure storage for your unloaded
firearm, any locking device can
fail. All guns are designed to fire
if they are loaded and the trigger
is pulled. Therefore, never install
the locking device inside the trigger guard or in any way that it
can possibly pull the trigger! Do
not leave the keys in the lock.
The ultimate responsibility for
secure storage of any firearm
must depend upon its owner and
his or her individual circumstances. Guns should be securely
stored unloaded, in a secure
location, separate from their
ammunition.

GENERAL INFORMATION
AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The RUGER®P89DAO, P91DAO, P93DAO, P94DAO & P944DAO
pistols are centerfire, “double action only,” magazine-fed, autoloading, recoil-operated pistols. The P89DAO is chambered for the caliber 9mm Parabellum (9mm
x19) cartridge, and the P91DAO is chambered for the .40 S & W cartridge. The
P93DAO has a shorter “streamlined” slide and is chambered for the 9mm
Parabellum (9mm x 19) cartridge. The P94DAO, chambered for the 9mm parabellum cartridge & the P944DAO, chambered for the .40 S & W cartridge, have
a full length, “stream-lined” slide configuration. They comply with the requirements of the National Institute of Justice Standard - 0112.00. They include the following features with which users should be thoroughly familiar:
7
!
!
NOMENCLATURE
Action: The action of the Ruger “double action only” model pistols is of the U.S.
M1911 type that utilizes a tilting barrel design in which the barrel and slide are
locked together at the moment of firing. After firing, the barrel and slide recoil
to the rear a short distance while still locked together. After this initial movement, the barrel tilts downward from its locked position, permitting full recoil of
the slide and the extraction and ejection of the spent cartridge case.
The user of this or any autoloading pistol must always remember that when
fired, it automatically reloads and recocks itself, so that simply pulling the trigger will fire the pistol again. Therefore, an autoloading pistol user must be particularly conscious to always keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction.
Sights have high-visibility
white dots both front and
rear. Rear sights can be
adjusted for windage.
Frame is precision investment cast
in lightweight aluminum alloy,
hard-coated for toughness.
“Double-action” only
mechanism and strongly
curved trigger provide that cocking and firing
can be accomplished with a complete pull of
the trigger.
Oversize trigger guard permits shooting with gloved
hand. Recurved trigger guard bow accommodates nonshooting hand in two-hand hold.
The ambidextrous magazine latch permits positive
retention and quick removal of magazine.
Slide stop holds the slide
open and is activated
automatically when last shot
is fired (if magazine is in
pistol), or can be manually
operated.
Lanyard loop provides security for carrying in the
field or police use.
Slide’s open top design minimizes possibility of jamming, enables shooter to
clear any malfunction easily by hand.
Cartridges can be loaded singly if desired.
Spurless hammer. Does not
have a “full cock” position
and cannot be manually
cocked.
Serrations allow easy
retraction of the slide for
loading and unloading.
8
9
Slide Stop: When the last shot has been fired and the magazine is empty, the
slide stop automatically holds the slide open. When there is an empty magazine
in the pistol and the slide is retracted manually, the slide stop will automatically
hold the slide open. If a loaded magazine is inserted in the pistol when the slide
is closed and the slide is then retracted fully, the slide stop will not automatically
hold open the slide. The user can actuate the slide stop mechanism to hold the
slide open at any time by retracting the slide and pushing up the slide stop.
The slide stop can be released by drawing back slightly on the slide and depressing the slide stop thumbpiece. When the slide is released, it will move forward
under pressure from the recoil spring.
The slide stop is spring-loaded to move downward. Therefore, when there is a
loaded magazine in place and the pistol is jarred, the slide can fly forward and
chamber a cartridge. For this reason and as an essential safety practice, the user
should always be careful to keep fingers away from the trigger, keep the safety
on, and always keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction.
Magazines:
The Ruger 9mm, .40Auto, and .45 ACP magazines are not inter-
changeable with Ruger pistol magazines of any
other caliber even though they
may appear similar and may hold other cartridges. Use of incorrect magazines in
any pistol will result in malfunctions. Ruger 9mm magazines are either
unmarked as to caliber or are marked “9mm cal. only”. All other Ruger centerfire pistol magazines, which are similar in appearance, are marked as to caliber
(“.40 Auto Cal.,” etc.).
DAMAGED, NON-STANDARD, OR IMPROPERLY
ASSEMBLED MAGAZINES SHOULD NOT BE USED.
THEY CAN CAUSE THE PISTOL TO MALFUNCTION.
OPERATION OF
“DOUBLE ACTION ONLY” PISTOLS
The model you have selected is equipped with a special trigger mechanism that
permits only “double-action” firing. The hammer does not remain cocked
between shots. The pistol can only be fired by a relatively long (“double-action”)
pull of the trigger which draws the hammer rearward and then releases it to fire
every shot.
It is important to note that even though the hammer will move to a forward
position as the slide returns forward after each shot, the mechanism of the gun
will not permit another shot to be fired unless the trigger is first released and
then pulled again.
The pistol has an internal firing pin block that will not allow the firing pin to
move forward to fire until the operator completely pulls the trigger.
10
CAUTION: When firing the double-action-only pistol, be sure that the
trigger is released completely to its fully forward position before
attempting to pull the trigger for a subsequent shot. If the trigger finger is
allowed to interfere with the full recovery of the trigger (preventing it from
moving through about the last one-eighth inch of its forward movement),
pulling the trigger will not fire the pistol. The trigger must be fully
released
after each shot is fired. This characteristic is also found on all modern doubleaction revolvers.
!
Do not attempt to manually cock or
“decock” the hammer! Since there is no
full-cock notch, the hammer will fall forward when released, and if finger pressure
is applied to the trigger, the pistol can
fire. The automatic safeties that prevent
firing if the hammer falls are deactivated
if the trigger is pulled. Do not touch the
trigger unless you intend to shoot the
pistol!
PISTOL CANNOT BE
THUMB-COCKED
!
WARNING - DOUBLE ACTION ONLY
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.

AMMUNITION
The RUGER®P89DAO, P93DAO & P94DAO pistols are chambered
for the 9mm x 19 Parabellum (9mm Luger) cartridge. Do not attempt to load
any other 9mm cartridges (examples: 9mm short [.380], 9mm Steyr, 9mm
Bergmann, etc.) into the magazine or chamber of the pistol. Never attempt to
use caliber .40 S & W cartridges in a 9mm pistol. The .40 S & W cartridges will
jam the pistol.
The RUGER
®
P91DAO & P944DAO pistols chambered for the .40 S&W
cartridge should never be used with 9mm ammunition.
The Ruger P-Series pistols are compatible with all factory ammunition loaded to
U.S. Industry Standards, including high-velocity and hollow-point loads, loaded
in brass, aluminum, or steel cartridge cases. No 9mm x 19 or .40 S & W 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.
USE ONLY FACTORY AMMUNITION LOADED
TO U.S. INDUSTRY STANDARDS
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.
12
TO LOAD AND FIRE (WITH MAGAZINE)
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 35)
2. Press the magazine latch forward and remove the magazine from the frame.
NOTE: The magazine is designed to fall free of the frame of its own weight
when unloaded and the pistol is held in the normal firing position, but you
should always prevent possible damage to the magazine by not letting it drop
to the ground unless rapid reloading is absolutely necessary.
3. For the 9mm P89DAO, P93DAO and P94DAO pistols, place ten (10) or fewer
9mm x 19 Parabellum cartridges into the magazine from the top.
For the .40 Auto P91DAO and P944DAO pistols, place ten (11) or fewer .40
S&W cartridges into the magazine from the top.
4. 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.
WARNING - AMMUNITION
Death, serious injury, and damage can
result from the use of the wrong
ammunition, bore obstructions, powder
overloads, or incorrect cartridge components. Even the strongest gun can be
“blown up” as a result of excess pressure.
Always
wear shooting glasses and hearing
protection.
IMPROPER AMMUNITION
DESTROYS GUNS

5. 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 1 and “Slide Retraction Warning”, p. 16). When
released, the slide will fly forward to strip the top cartridge from the magazine and chamber it. The “double action only” mechanism drops the hammer
automatically as the slide moves forward while simultaneously blocking the
firing pin. There is not “full-cock” position for the hammer, and the pistol
cannot be fired in the “single action” mode.
6. Remember that once you load the chamber, a pull on the trigger will cause
the pistol to fire. Be Careful!
7. The pistol is now ready to fire by a long “double-action” trigger pull for each
shot. Every time the trigger is pulled, the hammer will move backward. If the
trigger is completely pulled, the hammer will then fall forward and fire a cartridge in the chamber.
8. Subsequent shots are all fired “double-action” until the magazine is empty,
the chamber being reloaded as the slide recoils from each shot.

WARNING - FIRING
SLIDE OPENS FAST -
HOT BRASS EJECTED
The slide automatically opens and shuts
quickly while firing. Keep face and hands
away from rear. Hot brass is ejected
quickly and can burn you. Always wear
shooting glasses and hearing protection.
!

9. In the event of a misfire, keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction, manually
retract the slide and eject the misfired cartridge. Then let the slide fly forward to chamber another cartridge from the magazine. The pistol can them
be fired by a normal “double-action” trigger pull.
10. Immediately following the firing of a shot, and if a subsequent shot is not to
be fired at once, remove your finger from the trigger while the pistol is still
pointing in a safe direction downrange.
11. When the last cartridge loaded into the pistol has been fired, the magazine
follower presses the slide stop upward to engage the slide, automatically
holding the action open (see Figure 1, p. 13). If the slide is shut, the shooter
should always assume that there is a cartridge in the chamber!
Don’t rely on your memory to know if a gun is loaded. Visually inspect the
magazine and
chamber to be sure.
12. During firing, you may notice that between shots the hammer comes to rest
slightly to the rear of its full forward position. This is normal and assists in
the accurate firing of subsequent shots in the “double-action-only” mode. Do
not try to further “decock” a loaded pistol! (See “Double Action Only”
Warning, p. 10)
Do not load the pistol until you are ready to use it, and
unload it immediately when you have completed shooting.
(See “Unloading Warning” on page 17)
If dropped or struck, the pistol may fire. Keep chamber
empty unless actually firing! Use decock lever to decock
pistol before moving with pistol or when not actually
firing.
For maximum safety when carrying the pistol with a
loaded magazine in place, the chamber should be empty,
the slide should be closed, and the pistol should be
decocked
. Never carry it cocked! If placed into a holster,
check it to be sure that the slide is not retracted far
enough to either chamber a cartridge from the magazine
or cock the pistol.
The user should never depend on any mechanical device
to justify careless handling or permitting the pistol to
point in an unsafe direction. The shooter should always be
alert to the possibility of accidental discharge. The
only absolutely safe pistol is one in which the slide is
open, the chamber is empty, and there is no magazine
in the gun.
WARNING - HANDLING
ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF DROPPED
!
15
GUN WILL FIRE WITH MAGAZINE OUT
WARNING - UNLOADING
So that the pistol can be used as a single loader, it
will fire whether or not a magazine is in the gun if
a cartridge is chambered. Removing magazine
does not unload pistol! To unload, first
remove
magazine, then
pull slide to rear, eject chambered
cartridge, and visually inspect chamber to be sur
e it
is empty. Always point the pistol in a safe direction
when loading or unloading.
TO LOAD AND FIRE (WITHOUT MAGAZINE)
In the event that the magazine is missing or for training purposes (where it is
desirable that only one cartridge be loaded and fired at a time for safety), the pistol can be fired with the magazine removed. To do so, keep the pistol pointed in a
safe direction, grasp the slide, and retract it fully to the rear. Next, push the slide
stop upward so that the slide remains to the rear. Insert a single cartridge directly and fully into the chamber. Taking care to keep the pistol pointed in a safe
direction, depress the slide stop. This will cause the slide to move vigorously forward into the firing position. WARNING: The pistol is ready for instant use in
the double-action mode once the slide moves forward. Keep your finger off the
trigger until you are ready to fire! Note that the slide will not automatically
remain open if the pistol is fired without the magazine in place. The ejector must
always be pivoted to its rearward (upward) position when firing the pistol without the magazine.
TO UNLOAD
WARNING: This sequence must be followed exactly as outlined. Failure to do so
can result in the chamber being unintentionally loaded with a live cartridge!
1. The muzzle of the pistol must be pointing in a safe direction at all times, and
fingers should be outside of the trigger guard.
2. Remove the magazine from the pistol by pushing in on the magazine latch.
REMEMBER that even though the magazine has been removed, a live round
remaining in the chamber can still be fired (see “Unloading Warning”, above).
3. Hold the pistol firmly and grasp the slide. Retract the slide to its rearmost
position briskly to extract and eject any chambered cartridge. Always double
check visually that the chamber, breech-face, and the interior of the frame are
clear of any live rounds. When the slide is fully retracted, push upward on the
slide stop, then allow the slide to move forward until it comes to rest with the
rear projection of the slide stop resting in the notch on the lower left side of
the slide.
!
16
WARNING - SLIDE RETRACTION
The slide should always be pulled
rearward (“retracted”) by pulling the
r
ear portion of the slide in the vicinity
of the safety, the decock-only lever,
or the serrations (depending upon
model). Always keep fingers away
from trigger!
Never put any part of your hands or
body over the muzzle while retracting
the slide for loading, unloading, inspec-
tion, or clearing a malfunction.

4. To close the slide, again check to be sure the chamber and breech-face are
empty. Pull the slide to its rearmost postion and release it. The slide will snap
forward. Keep fingers out of ejection port on top of slide!
5. If the magazine contains cartridges, they can be removed by sliding each cartridge forward and out of magazine, one at a time, until the magazine is
empty.
6. Push empty (unloaded) magazine into frame until magazine latch locks it in
place.
TO RELOAD THE PISTOL
1. Firing all cartridges in the magazine and the chamber will cause the slide to
automatically lock open. Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction. Reloading
can be accomplished by pressing forward on the magazine latch with the
thumb or forefinger. The magazine will fall free of the pistol of its own
weight. To avoid the possibility of damage to the magazine, do not let it fall to
the ground unless rapid reloading is absolutely necessary.
2. Insert a loaded magazine. WARNING: The slide stop is spring-loaded to move
downward. Therefore, when there is a loaded magazine in place and the pistol
is jarred, the slide can fly forward and chamber a cartridge. For this reason
and as an essential safety practice, the shooter’s fingers should always be fully
outside the trigger guard except when the shooter is positioned to fire the
gun at a selected target.
3. Release the slide to move forward by either depressing the rear portion of the
slide stop or pulling the slide fully to the rear and release it. A cartridge will
be chambered when the slide shuts. WARNING: The pistol will be reloaded
and is ready to fire “double-action” by a complete pull of the trigger. Be careful! When you are finished firing the pistol, unload it completely.
TO EXTRACT AND
EJECT A CHAMBERED CARTRIDGE
When the pistol is fired, the same gas pressure that drives the bullet forward also
acts through the cartridge case to push the slide to the rear. The action causes
extraction and ejection of the fired cartridge case. If a cartridge fails to fire or if
the shooter wishes to eject the chambered cartridge manually, follow the procedure “To Unload” step 4, above. When the slide is operated by hand, there can be
a failure to extract the cartridge from the chamber, or a failure to eject the cartridge clear of the pistol. These failures usually are the result of the slide not
being pulled rearward vigorously. From the foregoing, it is clear that the gun
user must:

1. Always visually check the chamber and the breech-face after opening the slide
to eject a chambered cartridge. If the slide is not vigorously retracted when
being operated by hand, the extracted cartridge can be “ejected” into the magazine-well of the grip frame or remain held to the breech-face by the extractor.
2. Thor
oughly clean the chamber and the extractor as often as necessary.
If an empty magazine is in the pistol when the slide is being hand retracted to
extract a cartridge, the cartridge may drop on top of the magazine or remain
held to the breech-face by the extractor. Then when the slide goes forward, the
cartridge will be chambered again! Remember — always remove the magazine
befor
e clearing the chamber, and visually ensure that no cartridges remain in the
gun.
Any autoloading pistol may occasionally malfunction. If a cartridge hangs up, jams, or binds when
being chambered, do not attempt to force it into
the chamber by pushing or striking the slide.
Carefully remove it.
Most failures of a cartridge to feed or to chamber
properly are caused by a damaged magazine,
incorrect gun handling, insufficient lubrication,
or improper ammunition.
Whatever the cause, the user of the pistol must,
above all, recognize that any cartridge jam can
result in the very potentially dangerous situation
of a cartridge discharging before it is properly
chambered. If this happens, the cartridge case
may rupture and its fragments fly out of the ejection port of the pistol with sufficient force to
cause serious injury. Always wear shooting
glasses!
HITTING PRIMER
CAN BURST CARTRIDGE
WARNING - MALFUNCTIONS
TO CLEAR A MALFUNCTION (“JAM”)
1. Be certain the muzzle is continually pointed in a safe direction.
2. If possible, remove the magazine. It may be necessary to manually remove a
jammed cartridge that has only been partially stripped from the magazine. If
so, use extreme care. Lock the slide open with the slide stop before attempting
to clear the jam. Drawing the slide fully to the rear may bring the jammed cartridge along. Keep your face away from the ejection port during this operation.
When attempting to clear a jam, use only wood “tools” so that the cartridge
will not be damaged or the primer ignited. A 3/16” wooden dowel with a point
on one end is useful.
!
19
3. Visually check to make sure that all cartridges have been removed from the
pistol. Safely dispose of any cartridges involved in a malfunction incident. Do
not use damaged ammunition in any firearm.
TO MINIMIZE MALFUNCTIONS (“JAMS”)
1. If it appears that the jam was caused by the type of ammunition being used,
try another brand, type, or lot number. Remember — use only factory ammunition of the correct caliber.
2. If changing ammunition does not at once eliminate malfunctions, then the
following steps should be taken:
a. Thoroughly clean the pistol, paying particular attention to the removal of
accumulated grease and dirt. Use a bristle brush and solvent to remove
grease and fouling from the breech-face, extractor, chamber, and feed
ramp area immediately behind the chamber.
b. Check to be sure that the magazine spring firmly returns the magazine
follower to the top of the magazine.
c. Check the magazine lips to be certain that they are free of nicks and burrs
and that they are not deformed or cracked.
d. Remove excess oil and solvent from all cleaned components, load the
magazine, and try the pistol again. Make sure you are following the correct loading and firing sequence as described in this manual.
e. If none of the above steps is effective, try a different magazine of Ruger
manufacture. If a new magazine does not function correctly, return the
pistol and magazines to the Ruger Product Service Department. (See
“Shipping Firearms For Repair” on page 25)
f. Alterations to the pistol or use of non-Ruger magazines and accessories
may cause malfunctions. See “Alteration Warning” on page 7.
TO DISASSEMBLE
1. Keep pistol pointed in a safe direction. Press in on the magazine latch and
withdraw magazine from butt of pistol.
2. Pull slide to rear and lock in open position by pressing upward on rear end of
slide stop. Again, be sure chamber is empty!
3. Keep upwar
d pressure on slide stop to prevent forward movement of slide.
Open slide is under strong spring tension and could injure fingers if allowed
to slam shut. Insert finger through top of slide and push ejector downward
and forward (see Figure 2, below) until it locks in its lower position. This will
permit forward movement of slide. Further disassembly is impossible unless
this is done.

retainer pin is aligned with the slide stop notch. Press in on right-hand end
of slide stop and pull slide stop out of frame to the left until it locks in its
withdrawn position. (See Figure 3, above). Do not attempt to pull it completely out of the frame.
5. Push slide forward and remove entire slide assembly to the front.
6. With slide held upside down, lift rear end of guide rod to disengage it from its
seat against the barrel lug. Withdraw spring and guide rod to the rear of the
slide. CAUTION: Spring is under tension!
7. Pull barrel upward out of slide slightly and withdraw to the rear.
8. This completes normal fieldstripping for routine cleaning and lubrication
purposes. Further disassembly of slide or frame components is not recommended and should only be undertaken by the factory.

TO REASSEMBLE
1. Be certain chamber and magazine are empty.
2. With slide held upside down, replace barrel and push it rearward into its
locked position.
3. Replace guide rod and recoil spring assembly (the smaller diameter end of
spring against collar) into position. Rear end of guide rod seats against barrel
lug. Barrel link must be in vertical (hole showing) position, or pistol cannot
be reassembled.
4. Be certain that ejector is locked in its lower (forward) position and that hammer is in its fired (uncocked) position.
5. Replace slide onto frame.
6. Pull slide back until disassembly notch is opposite lug on slide stop. Press
slide stop all the way through the frame to the right.
7. Allow slide to move fully forward.
8. Replace empty magazine in frame through butt of pistol. This action returns
the ejector to its working position. This pistol will not function normally
unless the ejector is in its upward (rearward) position.
MAGAZINE INSPECTION AND CARE
Check the magazine frequently. The magazine follower must move freely and
have adequate tension so that each cartridge is quickly raised to the feeding position. The magazine lips should be clean and free of cracks, dents, or nicks, so
that cartridges are held in their proper feeding position.
If the magazine becomes dirty, it should be disassembled and thoroughly
cleaned. You could encounter two types of Ruger magazines, with either a
pinned base or a snap-on base. The following disassembly instructions apply:
21
Always unload a firearm
before cleaning, lubrication,
disassembly or assembly.
UNLOAD BEFORE DISASSEMBLY
WARNING - DISASSEMBLY
!
2
3
1
Pinned Base (used on 10 round 9mm magazines) - Use a punch to remove the
roll pin that extends through the side of the magazine body. Once the roll pin
has been removed, pull the magazine base from the bottom of the magazine
body, taking care to prevent the forcible ejection of the compressed magazine
spring. Withdraw the magazine spring from the magazine body. Turn the magazine upside down and remove the follower.
Snap-On Base - Use a punch to press in on the magazine spring seat where it
protrudes into the hole in the magazine floorplate. Slide the magazine floorplate
toward the front of the magazine, taking care to prevent the forcible ejection of
the magazine spring seat and compressed magazine spring. Withdraw the magazine spring seat and magazine spring from the magazine body. Turn magazine
upside down and remove magazine follower. Reassemble in reverse order.
When cleaning is necessary, use a solvent that will not rust the metal components or adversely affect the magazine body. After the magazine has been soaked
to loosen foreign matter, be certain to shake it vigorously (with the loading opening away from you) to remove solvent or residue from within the magazine.
Penetrating oils and solvents inside a magazine can “kill” or weaken cartridge
primers which can result in failures to fire or other possibly dangerous malfunctions, such as leaving a bullet in the bore!
After cleaning always check to be certain that the magazine follower movement
and tension are correct, and that no solvent or debris remain. Improper reassem-
bly of the magazine spring can cause a potentially dangerous malfunction. If
cleaning does not restore proper tension, or if you experience a problem with the
magazine, don’t use it. Get a new one.
CARE AND CLEANING
Make Sure Gun Is Unloaded!
Before cleaning, be certain the pistol and its magazine contain no cartridges.
(See “Unloading Warning”, p. 15)
At regular intervals, or whenever the pistol has been exposed to sand, dust,
extreme humidity, condensation, immersion in water, or other adverse conditions, disassemble, clean, and oil it. Proper periodic maintenance is essential to
the reliable functioning of any firearm.
To clean the pistol, proceed as follows:
1. Disassemble (fieldstrip) the pistol to the extent described on pages 19 - 21.
2. Using a cleaning rod, run a solvent-wetted patch through the bore several
times. Then attach a solvent-wetted bristle brush to the rod and run it back
and forth the full length of the bore as many times as necessary to remove
grease and dirt from the bore and chamber. Clean bore with dry patches and
examine. Bore fouling can contribute to reduced accuracy, and grease accumulation in the chamber can interfere with proper feeding of cartridges from
the magazine.
22
3. Using powder solvent on a clean patch or bristle brush, remove powder
residue from all components of the mechanism. After cleaning, run a dry
patch through the bore, then follow with a patch that is very lightly oiled.
Wipe all surfaces clean with cloth, then wipe all surfaces with a patch or cloth
that has been very lightly oiled.
4. NOTE: Only a light application of oil is needed to provide adequate lubrica-
tion of moving parts and to prevent rust. Excess accumulations of oil tend to
attract particles of dust and dirt and may congeal in cold weather, which can
interfere with the safe and reliable function of the pistol.
5. Before firing, remove all oil and grease from the bore.
23
WARNING - LUBRICATION
IMPROPER LUBRICATION
DESTROYS GUNS
!
Firing a pistol with oil, grease, or any other material
even partially obstructing the bore may result in damage
to the pistol and serious injury to the shooter and those
nearby. Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on
ammunition. If the powder of a cartridge is affected by
the lubricant, it may not be ignited, but the primer firing may push the bullet into the bore where it may be
lodged. Firing a subsequent bullet into the obstructed
bore may damage the pistol and cause serious injury or
death to the shooter and those nearby. Use lubricants
properly. You are responsible for the proper care and
maintenance of your firearms.
STORAGE
GUNS SHOULD NOT BE STORED LOADED!
Do not keep the pistol stored in a leather holster or case. Leather attracts moisture, even though the holster or case may appear to be perfectly dry.
TO RENDER THE PISTOL INOPERATIVE FOR SAFE STORAGE
With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, remove the magazine, retract the
slide, and check the chamber to be sure the pistol is completely unloaded! Keep
the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, and press upward on the slide stop. Insert
a finger into the action and press the ejector assembly fully forward. Next, pull
the slide stop pin out the left side of the pistol frame until it stops. Now remove
the slide and barrel assembly forward off the front of the frame.
USE THE LOCKING DEVICE SUPPLIED WITH THE PISTOL FOR STORAGE.
(S
EE PAGE 5)
24
Store the pistol’s frame and the barrel/slide assembly in different locations. When
disassembled in this manner, this pistol is inoperable. It is impossible to fire the
pistol until the barrel/slide assembly and frame have been correctly reassembled.
To reassemble the pistol for firing, carefully slide the barrel/slide assembly onto
the frame. Align the disassembly marks on the frame and slide, and then push
the slide stop pin fully into the receiver from the left. Either reinsert an empty
magazine or lock the slide open and push the ejector back upward and rearward
with a finger. The pistol is now reassembled and can be loaded and fired normally.
While the pistol is less likely to be used by unauthorized persons when disassembled in the above manner, it is always safest to store any firearm with the
supplied locking device correctly installed, or to store the firearm in a gun safe
or other secure location away from children and unauthorized adults. Guns
should always be stored securely, unloaded
and separate from their ammuni-
tion.
Never place or store any firearm in
such a manner that it may be dislodged. Firearms should always be
stored securely and unloaded, away
from children and careless adults. Use
the locking device originally supplied
with this firearm for storage.
The use of a locking device or safety
lock is only one aspect of responsible
firearms storage. For increased safety,
firearms should be stored unloaded and
locked in a location that is both separate from their ammunition and inaccessible to children and any other
unauthorized person.

THE BASIC RULES OF SAFE FIREARMS HANDLING
We believe that Americans have a right to purchase and use firearms for lawful
purposes. The private ownership of firearms in America is traditional, but that
ownership imposes the responsibility on the gun owner to use his firearms in a
way which will ensure his own safety and that of others. When firearms are used
in a safe and responsible manner, they are a great source of pleasure and satisfaction, and represent a fundamental part of our personal liberty.
Firearms do not cause accidents! Firearms accidents are almost always found to
have been the result of carelessness, or ignorance on the part of the shooter of
the basic rules of safe gun handling.
The following rules must be observed by gun users at all times. Safe gun handling is not just desirable, it is absolutely essential to your safety, the safety of
others, and the continuation of gun ownership and sport shooting as we know it
today.
1. LEARN THE MECHANICAL AND HANDLING
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FIREARM YOU ARE USING.
Not all firearms are the same. The
method of carrying and handling
firearms varies in accordance with the
mechanical provisions for avoiding
accidental discharge and the various
proper procedures for loading and
unloading. No person should handle
any firearm without first having thoroughly familiarized himself with the
particular type of firearms he is using,
and with safe gun handling in general.
2. ALWAYS KEEP THE
MUZZLE POINTED IN A
SAFE DIRECTION.
Be sure of the bullet stop behind your
target, even when dry-firing. Never let
the muzzle of a firearm point at any
part of your body or at another person.
This is particularly important when
loading or unloading a firearm. In the
event of an accidental discharge, no
injury can occur as long as the muzzle
is pointing in safe direction. A safe
direction means a direction which will
not permit a discharged bullet to
strike a person, or to strike an object
from which the bullet may ricochet.
35
RUGER
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS IN THIS
MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE
USING THIS FIREARM.
®
A safe direction must take into account the fact that a bullet may penetrate a
wall, ceiling, floor, window, etc., and strike a person or damage property. Make
it a habit to know exactly where the muzzle of your gun is pointing whenever
you handle it, and be sure that you are always in control of the direction in
which the muzzle is pointing, even if you fall or stumble. Keep your finger off
the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
3. FIREARMS SHOULD BE UNLOADED WHEN NOT IN USE.
Firearms should be loaded only when
you are in the field or on the target
range or shooting area, ready to shoot.
Firearms and ammunition should be
securely locked in safes, racks or cabinets, or by using the locking device
supplied with the firearm when not in
use. Ammunition should be safely
stored separate from firearms. Store
your firearms out of sight of visitors
and children. It is the gun owner’s
responsibility to be certain that children and persons unfamiliar with
firearms cannot gain access to
firearms, ammunition, or components.
4. BE SURE THE BARREL IS CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE SHOOTING.
Even a bit of mud, snow or excess
lubricating oil or grease in the bore
may cause the barrel to bulge, or
even burst on firing, and can cause
injury to the shooter and bystanders.
Be sure that you are using
ammunition of the proper caliber
and loading for the gun you are
using. If the report or recoil on firing
seems weak, or doesn’t seem quite
right, CEASE FIRING IMMEDIATELY,
unload your firearm, and check to be
sure that no obstruction has become
lodged in the barrel. Never try to
shoot an obstruction out!

5. BE SURE OF YOUR
TARGET BEFORE YOU
SHOOT.
Don’t shoot unless you know exactly
where your bullet is going to strike.
Be sure of the bullet stop behind
your target, even when dry-firing with
an unloaded gun. If you are in the
field hunting, do not fire at a
movement or noise. Take the time to
be absolutely certain of your target
before you pull the trigger.
6. WEAR SHOOTING
GLASSES AND HEARING
PROTECTORS WHEN YOU
SHOOT.
All shooters should wear protective
shooting glasses and adequate
hearing protection when shooting.
Exposure to shooting noise can
damage hearing, and adequate
eye protection when shooting is
essential.
7. NEVER CLIMB A TREE OR
FENCE WITH A LOADED
FIREARM.
Put the firearm down carefully
before climbing a fence, and unload
it before climbing or descending a
tree or jumping over a ditch or other
obstruction. Never pull or push a
loaded firearm toward yourself or
another person. When in doubt, or
whenever you are about to do anything awkward, unload your gun!

8. DON,T SHOOT AT A
HARD SURFACE, OR AT
WATER.
Bullets can glance off many surfaces
like rocks or the surface of water and
travel in unpredictable directions
with considerable velocity.
9. NEVER TRANSPORT A
LOADED FIREARM.
Firearms should always be unloaded
before being moved or placed in a
vehicle. A suitable carrying case or
scabbard should be used to carry an
unloaded firearm to and from the
shooting area.
10. AVOID ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES WHEN
SHOOTING.
Don’t drink until the day’s shooting
is over. Handling firearms while
under the influence of alcohol in any
form, or medications that could affect
your judgement or co-ordination, constitutes a criminal disregard for the
safety of others.

A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF AN EXTRAORDINARY
ACHIEVEMENT: RUGER FIREARMS
One of the few American firearms manufacturers whose management
has remained in the same family since starting in business, Sturm,
Ruger & Company, Inc., had its beginning in a small machine shop
occupying a rented frame building in Southport, Connecticut. In
January, 1949, with an initial investment of only $50,000 and an idea,
William B. Ruger and Alexander M. Sturm started production of a .22
caliber autoloading pistol–a design which was so successful that it
became the cornerstone upon which one of the most comprehensive
lines of sporting firearms ever made in America was established. After
Alex Sturm’s death in 1951, William B. Ruger continued to direct the
company alone and today, William B. Ruger, Jr. continues to provide
guidance which has made this company a sound and successful enterprise.
Sturm, Ruger & Company, in this relatively short time, has established
itself as a leading small arms design organization, developing a unique
and broad line of fine quality sporting, military and police firearms to
become one of the world’s most famous producers of revolvers, pistols,
rifles and shotguns. Since 1949 Ruger craftsmen have built many millions of firearms.
During its five decades of growth and progress under the leadership of
William B. Ruger, the company developed a business philosophy and
implemented policies which represent a constructive influence in the life
of modern America. From the beginning, Sturm, Ruger & Company
played a positive role in conservation efforts and has supported the interests of shooters through such groups as the National Rifle Association,
National Shooting Sports Foundation, and many regional sportsmen’s
organizations.
The company has always endeavored to market its firearms for constructive and recreational purposes, to emphasize the traditional aspects of
shooting, to render meaningful public services and to encourage shooters in constructive, responsible, and safe participation in the shooting
sports. Its motto is “Arms Makers For Responsible Citizens.”
Today, Sturm, Ruger & Company is particularly mindful of those elements which have contributed to the creation of its success, and extends
heartfelt thanks to its many loyal employees and customers.

The Magnuson-Moss Act (Public Law 93-637) does not require any

designated as “limited” or as “full” and sets minimum standards for a
“full” warranty. Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has elected not to provide any written warranty, either “limited” or “full”, rather than to
attempt to comply with the provisions of the Magnuson-Moss Act and
the regulations issued thereunder. There are certain implied warranties under state law with respect to sales of consumer goods. As
