WA R N I N G *YOU RISK PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH BY HANDLING THIS FIREARM* Before handling any firearm, make sure you know the safety procedures and most importantly, keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. Before handling this firearm, read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual. Always keep this manual with the firearm. If you lend, give or sell this firearm, be sure the manual goes with it.
Type Of Ammunition To Be Used It is suggested that high quality commercially manufactured ammunition be used in this firearm. Avoid military surplus or old ammunition as it may not fire with sufficient force to expel the projectile from the barrel. The use of reloaded, high pressure or handloaded ammunition can be dangerous and will void the warranty.
NEVER point this pistol at anything that is not your intended target even if the pistol is unloaded. When loading, unloading, cleaning or handling, always be sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction and always keep your finger off the trigger. NEVER assume any gun is unloaded. Before handling, check to make sure the chamber is empty. See Unloading Instructions. Make sure you know that this or any firearm is fully unloaded before displaying or handling it.
NEVER accept anyone’s word that a gun is “unloaded” or “empty.” immediately open the action and check to make sure it is unloaded. You should Be careful with ALL ammunition. Even “blank” cartridges are deadly at close range due to the muzzle blast. Make sure your ammunition is new and in good clean condition. Do NOT oil or grease ammunition as this may damage the cartridge primer. Do NOT tamper with or alter the standard factory ammunition. Keep firearms unloaded when not actually in use.
Remember a firearm has the capability of taking your life or the life of someone else. Be careful with your firearm - an accident is almost always the result of not following basic safety rules. USED FIREARMS - Firearms are sometimes altered to work incorrectly, or parts may be removed, lost or replaced with incorrect parts. If you got your Tanfoglio firearm as a used gun, BEFORE USING IT you should take it to a good gunsmith who knows TANFOGLIO firearms, and have him examine it.
W A R N I N G (EYE AND EAR PROTECTION) When shooting, full eye and ear protection is mandatory at all times. Shooters and spectators must wear shooting glasses and hearing protection to prevent eye injury and hearing loss. Vision and hearing impairment can occur with only one moment of nonprotection.
BASIC PARTS OF YOUR PISTOL EXTERNAL CONTROL PARTS: Trigger Block Safety: The safety mechanism of the pistol provides protection against accidental and unintentional discharge under normal usage when properly engaged and in good working order. The safety mechanism is not a substitute for following safe gun handling rules. Do not disengage the safety unless you are ready to fire the pistol. MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THE SAFETY WORKS BEFORE YOU LOAD OR USE THE PISTOL.
WARNING! Always keep your fingers off the trigger and outside of the trigger guard until you are ready to pull the trigger and fire the pistol WARNING! The pistol is designed to and WILL FIRE when the trigger is pulled and the safety mechanism is in the “off” or “fire” position. WARNING! Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction! See Figure 5. Hammer: Located on the rear of the pistol and used to supply energy to the firing pin to ignite the cartridge primer. See Figure 6.
WARNING! Your pistol has a resting position or notch on the hammer. This notch is not to be used as a half cock position. This notch’s sole purpose is an additional notch on the hammer so as to allow the sear a chance to engage the hammer if the trigger is not pulled fully to the rear. In order to lower the hammer, first move the safety to the “off” safe position. Grasp the hammer very firmly and put a finger between the hammer and the firing pin. See Figure 7.
LOADING AND UNLOADING YOUR PISTOL WARNING! Make sure the pistol is pointed in a safe direction and the trigger block safety is engaged at all times while loading and unloading. NEVER allow your fingers or other objects to contact the trigger while loading or unloading. WARNING ! Do not disengage the trigger block safety until you are ready to fire and have the gun pointed safely downrange. WARNING! Do not load pistol until you are ready to fire.
TO UNLOAD: Make Sure the Safety is in the “ON” position and the gun is pointed in a safe direction. See Figure 20. 1) Press the magazine release button and remove the magazine from the pistol. See Figure 21. WARNING! The pistol does not incorporate a magazine disconnect safety, so the pistol may be fired with the magazine removed from the pistol. WARNING! Removing the magazine does not unload the chamber. If a cartridge is in the chamber the pistol can fire with the magazine removed.
FIRING YOUR PISTOL WARNING Never load a cartridge into the chamber until you are ready to fire the pistol. WARNING Do not disengage the trigger block safety until the pistol is pointed in a safe direction and you are ready to fire.
WARN ING If you fired the pistol and wish to stop firing, immediately push the trigger block safety to the “on” or “safe” position. Then follow the unloading instructions above while keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
