21. Always keep and store your pistol and ammunition in separate locked receptacles out
of reach and sight of children and untrained people. Always protect the ammunition from
sources of heat and open fire.
22. Never alter any parts of your pistol as the safety and proper function of your pistol could
be seriously compromised.
23. Always be aware that corrosion, use of damaged ammunition, dropping the pistol on
hard surfaces or other "coarse treatment" could cause damage you may not see. If
something like this happens allow the pistol to be examined and tested by a competent
gunsmith.
RULES OF THE SAFE HANDLING TRITIUM SIGHTS
Tritium sights for CZ pistols involve a luminous front sight (tritium radiator of 0,55 GBq
activity) and a luminous rear sight (2 tritium radiators of 0,55444 GBq activity) that is installed
at the pistol by means of precision dovetails. Tritium in the gaseous state (99% HT and 1%
HTO) is enclosed in plastic ampoules with a luminescent element and these ampoules are
fixed by glue into the metallic cap of the sight so that the manipulation and storage of the sights
is not exposed to any risks. The sights are marked as H3 (radioactive tritium).
The third generation of the sights retains all the advantageous features of the preceding
generation of sights and several improvements are added:
- built-in shock absorber
- solid protective bushing providing less sensitivity against rough manipulation
- immovable window for a better light output with additional protection against a
damage
- tolerance against longer immersion in currently used solvents and cleaning agents
- guaranteed continuous available light intensity for the period of 12 years
- sealing design protects the sights against an accidental damage, avoids the
unwanted manipulation with the light source, inhibits to penetrate the dirt into the
visual system and to hide the light
- provided a finer transition between the aiming during the day and the night
- simple installation (no modification of the arm is necessary)
- no added weight nor size
- no maintenance
- no battery needed (no losses of the energy at the cold weather)
-
Safety instructions in case of the sights damage
In regular conditions of the storage, use and maintenance there is no risk to the user
caused by emitted ionizing radiation, because it doesn't penetrate metallic caps, in which the
ampoules with radiators are fixed. In case of a nearly unreal incidental damage of all ampoules
in one set at the moment, when the arm is in shooting position (position of the sights closer to
the shooter), the single effective radiation dose wouldn't exceed the value of 0,26 mSv. What
does this value present? It is for example:
