SAFETY WARNING: All owners and users of FIRESTORM pistols are reminded to use the decocking
lever to decock their pistols. This is the only way to safely lower the hammer.
Warning:
The hammer should never be manually lowered by pulling the trigger. Manually lowering the hammer is
dangerous and may result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING: DO NOT THUMB THE HAMMER DOWN. This action may result in severe per
sonal injury or death. ALWAYS USE THE DECOCKING LEVER.
Firing:
If you intend to fire your pistol, push down the manual safety lever and squeeze the trigger.
Since the hammer is uncocked, the pull on the trigger will first cock the hammer and then release it. This
firing mode is called double action.
The discharge will recoil the slide which, in turn, will eject the fired cartridge case, cock the hammer, and
activate the recoil spring. The slide then automatically returns forward feeding the next cartridge from the
magazine into the chamber. THE PISTOL THEN IS READY TO FIRE AGAIN.
Squeeze the trigger to fire again.
To fire the first shot by the single action mode, simply cock the hammer manually after disengaging the
safety and squeeze the trigger.
