Nancy; First make the gun safe. 1) press the magazine release button on the left side behind the trigger and remove the magazine. 2) hold the gun out in front of you pointed in a safe direction - grasp the two big knobs on top and pull the action sharply back, which should eject any round in the chamber. Do it again and hold it open to visually confirm no ammunition in the chamber.
You can strip all ammunition from the magazine by just pushing each round forward until it pops out. Then push the unloaded magazine back into the pistol until it locks with a click. You can then pull the action back once more and it should remain open when you release the knobs (if gun equipped with a 'hold-open' added after manufacture).
In this way the gun is obviously safe should you wish to take it to others for evaluation or cleaning/oiling.
