40.89 ounces
what is the barrel length of the m9
4.92 inches
what is the rifling of the m9
Right hand
6 groove approx 1 turn in 10 in
what is the muzzle velocity of the m9
1230.3 ft/sec
what is the muzzle energy of the m9
420 ft/lbs
what lubricant(s) are authorized for use on the m9 pistol when the temperature is
-10F and above?
CLP and LSA
what is the purpose of the SLIDE ASSEMBLY
houses the firing pin, striker, and extractor, and cocks hammer during recoil cycle
what is the purpose of the RECOIL SPRING AND RECOIL SPRING GUIDE
absorbs recoil and returns the slide assembly to its forward position
what is the purpose of the BARREL ASSEMBLY
houses the cartridge for firing, directs projectile, and locks barrel in position during firing
, what is the purpose of the RECEIVER
serves as a support for all major components. houses action of pistol through four major
components, and controls functioning of pistol
what is IMMEDIATE ACTION
immediate action is the prompt action taken by the user to correct a stoppage. the
procedure for applying immediate action should become instinctive to the user, without
the user attempting to discover the cause. it is important that the user apply immediate
action instinctively to correct a stoppage
when can you use hollow point ammunition
hollow point ammunition is only authorized where use is not prohibited by Geneva
convention, status of forces agreement or overseas host nation requirements
who gets issued MK243
can only be issued to USAF SF units, OSI detachments, and to USAF personnel
assigned to air operations security (anti-jacking) duties on USAF aircraft, nuclear airlift,
contingencies, and/or as required by specific operational plan or operational order
how do you hold your m9 for maximum support while firing
by using the two hand grip
why do you use the "two hand grip" to support the m9 while firing
it allows the firer to steady the firing hand and provides maximum support during firing.
the non firing hand becomes a support mechanism for the firing hand by wrapping the
fingers of the non firing hand around the firing hand. two hand grips are recommended
for all pistol firing
what is the cycle of operation for the m9
feeding, chambering, locking, unlocking, extracting, ejecting, and cocking
what are the safety features of the m9
manual decocking/safety lever, firing pin block, and the hammer half cock. safety lever
separates the firing pin from the hammer, lowers the hammer when cocked, and
interrupts the connection between trigger and sear. firing pin block, prevents any motion
of the firing pin and is overcome only by pulling the trigger
what is function of the extractor
loaded chamber indicator
when should the loaded chamber indicator be used
in tactical situations when visibility is limited or where visual inspection of the chamber is
not desirable. in the dark the protrusion can be felt by touch
explain use of the bore brush when cleaning the m9
bore brush is for cleaning bore only. use of bore brush on any other part of the pistol
can cause finish damage. when cleaning be careful not to lose component parts
how do you clean the SLIDE ASSEMBLY of the m9
clean slide assembly with cloth. a soft brush with CLP can assist in removal of excess
dirt and carbon buildup. wipe dry with a cloth and apply a light coat of CLP/LSA
what do you ensure is free of dirt and residue on the slide assembly when
cleaning
the decocking/safety lever, breech face, slide guides, and extractor
how do you clean the BARREL ASSEMBLY
using cleaning rod insert a cleaning patch soaked with CLP in chamber end of barrel
and push out muzzle to remove loose firing residues and soften carbon deposits. insert
