SEMI AUTOMATIC

(Demonstrate the following) Pick up the weapon – The security officer will pick up the weapon, physically and visually check and say that the weapon is clear. (The only times during the test that the security officer’s finger should be on the trigger is when he/she is actually ready to pull the trigger)

Load the weapon and holster - The security officer will insert the magazine securely, pull the slide to the rear and release to chamber a round, and holster, ensure that the weapon is pointed down range from that moment forward while the weapon is out of the holster until the weapon is unloaded.

Demonstrate immediate action - The security officer will tap the magazine to ensure that it’s seated properly, rack the slide to remove any defective rounds, and reassess the threat to fire if necessary.

Demonstrate secondary immediate action - Only the task identified below will be accepted for the safety test purposes when performing secondary immediate action. The company instructor will insert a dummy round into the barrel of the weapon, then insert a loaded magazine. Once the magazine is locked in place, the slide is to be released creating a double feed. The weapon will then be given back to the security officer to demonstrate the proper secondary immediate action clearing procedure.

The procedure to clear the magazine involves the security officer pushing in the magazine release while he/she rips the magazine from the weapon, working the slide several times to ensure that the weapon is cleared. Then he/she inserts a new magazine, racks the slide to chamber a round, and reassesses the threat to fire, if necessary.

Unload the weapon - The security officer will remove the magazine, rack the slide several times to remove the chambered round, check and say the weapon is clear.

Bench a safe weapon - The security officer will place the weapon on the table with the slide locked to the rear.
