3. Handling and Operator Procedures
3.1 Making the Weapon Safe
To ensure that the weapon is safe
a) Press the magazine release and pull the magazine downward from the pistol grip.
b) Pull the charging handle completely to the
rear and inspect that no cartridge is in the
barrel (cartridge chamber).
To verify that the weapon is loaded
c) Pull the charging handle just far enough back
so that a loaded cartridge can be viewed in
the ejection port (fig. 3.1).
3.2 Magazine Loading and
Unloading
Loading the magazine
a) While holding the magazine in one hand,
press the cartridge into the magazine, followed with the thumb of the other hand
until the cartridge is held in place by the lips
of the magazine.
b) Repeat the procedure until the magazine is
full. The top cartridge should be positioned
on the right side of the magazine (fig 3.2).
Tip: Operation can be ensured if the 30 round
magazine is loaded with 29 cartridges and
the 20 round magazine with 19 cartridges!
Unloading
c) Press the base of the lower cartridge with
the multi-purpose tool supplied in the cleaning kit until the upper cartridge drops out
(fig. 3.3).
d) Repeat the procedure one after another individually, until the magazine is empty.
e) Allow the cartridges to fall on a soft surface
and be inspected before further use.

3.4 Loading the Weapon
When the bolt is in the closed position
a) Slide the loaded magazine into the pistol grip of the MP9 until an audible click is heard
(fig. 3.5).
b) Verify the magazine is well seated by slightly pulling downward on the magazine.
c) Vigorously pull back the charging handle and let it snap forward under its own power
(fig. 3.6).

3.9 Safety and Fire Selection
a) The weapon safety is integrated into the trigger. The safety is disengaged only immediately
before the trigger is pressed and a round is fired.
b) The fire selector switch has only two positions “semi-automatic” and “fully-automatic“.
c) The operator slides the fire selector as illustrated onto either of the two positions marked
by a pictogram:
1 point for single-shot fire (fig. 3.9)
3 points for fully-automatic fire (fig. 3.10)

MP9
Fig. 3.9
Fig. 3.10
d) The operator selects which mode of fire is to be used by pressing either end of the selector
until it engages in the desired position.
e) For the right handed and left-handed shooters, different fire selector options are available.
This is to ensure a uniform procedure of operation for either the right or left handed shooter:
Pressure on the fire selector with the trigger finger selects single-shot fire, pressure with the
thumb of the firing hand selects fully automatic fire.
3.10 Firing Position
a) The weapon is fired with both hands; the
firing hand is on the pistol grip and the support hand on the front handle. (Keep the
support hand on the vertical hand grip to
avoid injury by accidentally being placed in
front of the muzzle!).
b) Place the trigger finger of the firing hand on
the trigger and smoothly press to insure an
accurate shot.
c) Pulling the trigger at single-shot mode will
release one single shot.
d) During fully automatic fire the function only
ends when the trigger is released.

3.11 Sight Adjustment
Left and Right Corrections
a) To zero shots to the right or left of the point
of aim is made by the adjustment screw at
the right side of the Ghost Ring Sight with
a No. 1 screwdriver (fig. 3.12).
b) One full turn of the sight adjustment screw
in a clockwise direction changes the point
of impact around 165 mm on 25 m to the
left – therefore turn in the clockwise direction when the point of impact is off to the
right.
Up and Down Corrections
Fig. 3.12
c) To zero shots above and below the point of
aim disassemble the weapon as outlined in
paragraph 4.1.
d The zeroing of a shot above or below of
the point of aim is done by the adjustment
screw on the inner side of the top cover
group with a No. 0 screwdriver (fig. 3.13).
e) One full turn of the adjustment screw in a
clockwise direction changes the point of
impact about 90 mm on 25 m downward
– therefore turn in a clockwise direction for
a high shot.
f) After performing this correction, reassemble
the weapon in accordance with paragraphs
4.1p to s and check function as in paragraph
4.3.
