AMMUNITION1. Use only high quality, original, factory-manufacturedammunition. Do not use cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded,bent, or damaged. Do not oil cartridges. Do not spray aerosoltypelubricants, preservative, or cleaners directly onto cartridgesor where excess spray may flow into contact with cartridges.Lubricant or other foreign matter on cartridges can causepotentially dangerous ammunition malfunctions. Use onlyammunition of the caliber for which your firearm is chambered.The proper caliber is permanently engraved on your firearm;never attempt to use ammunition of any other caliber.2. The use of reloaded, “remanufactured” hand-loaded, or othernon-standard ammunition voids all warranties. Reloading is ascience and improperly loaded ammunition can be extremelydangerous. Severe damage to the firearm and serious injury to theshooter or to others may result. Always use ammunition thatcomplies with the industry performance standards established bythe Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc.of the United States (SAAMI) or ammunition manufactured tomilitary specifications.AMMUNITION (CARTRIDGE) NOTICESIG SAUER Inc. SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMSRESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR INJURYWHATSOEVER OCCURRING IN CONNECTION WITH,OR AS A RESULT OF, THE USE IN ANY SIG SAUERFIREARM OF FAULTY, NON-STANDARD,“REMANUFACTURED” HAND LOADED (RELOADED)AMMUNITION, OR CARTRIDGES OTHER THAN THOSEFOR WHICH THE FIREARM WAS ORIGINALLYCHAMBERED.P556 Pistol Operators Manual 22 1511582 VER 08.01.08
3. Firearms may be severely damaged and serious injury to theshooter or to others may result from any condition causingexcessive pressure inside the chamber or barrel during firing.Excessive pressure can be caused by obstructions in the barrel,propellant powder overloads, the use of incorrect cartridges ordefectively assembled cartridges. In addition, the use of a dirty,corroded, or damaged cartridge can lead to a burst cartridge caseand consequent damage to the firearm and personal injury fromthe sudden escape of high-pressure propellant gas within the firearm’smechanism.4. Immediately stop shooting and check the barrel for a possibleobstruction whenever:• You have difficulty in, or feel unusual resistance in,chambering a cartridge;• A cartridge misfires (does not go off);• The mechanism fails to extract a fired cartridge case;• Unburned grains of propellant powder are discoveredspilled in the mechanism;• A shot sounds weak or abnormal. In such cases it ispossible that a bullet is lodged part way down the barrel.Firing a subsequent bullet into the obstructed barrel canwreck the firearm and cause serious injury to the shooteror to bystanders.5. Bullets can become lodged in the barrel:• If the cartridge has been improperly loaded without propellant powder, or if the powder fails to ignite (ignition ofthe cartridge primer alone will push the bullet out of thecartridge case, but usually does not generate sufficientenergy to expel the bullet completely from the barrel);• If the bullet is not properly seated in the cartridge case. Whensuch a cartridge is extracted from the chamber without beingfired, the bullet may be left behind in the bore at the point wherethe rifling begins. Subsequent chambering of another cartridgemay push the first bullet further into the bore.P556 Pistol Operators Manual 23 1511582 VER 08.01.08
