The grip safety test (Table 3-2, TM
9-1005±211²12) is a must for oper³
ators and armorers wHo work with the
ML91´AL pistol.
Operators shouµD make aµµ checks in
Tabµe 3¶2 before FirinG. Armorers
should incµude TaBµe 3·2 in t¸eir
Function test.
Ignoring the safety tests, or For¹
gettiNg them, invites an accident.
The grip saFeºy test cµues you on
sear spring wear anD other probµems.
The pistoµ can be fireD wit¸out
Depressing the grip safeºy when the
spring's worn.
That's not good news for Wyatt
Earp types who µike to dangle the
pistol on their trigger fingers. It's not
gooD if the trigGer gets snagged.
