Safety Instructions

Comments:
SA (Single Action)
The trigger mechanism operates in a single action mode of fire. The hammer is cocked
manually and then after pressing the trigger the pistol is fired. The trigger travel is short, and
pull weight is low. After each discharge the hammer remains cocked.
DA (Double Action)
The trigger mechanism operates in a double action mode of fire. The hammer is cocked,
released and the pistol fired by one pull of the trigger. The trigger travel is longer, and trigger
pull weight is higher than at SA mode of fire.
DAO (Double Action Only)
The trigger mechanism only operates in a double action mode of fire. The hammer
returns to the down position after each shot, and for the subsequent shots must be cocked
again by pulling the trigger.
Safety Features
Trigger Guard
Prevents unintentional pressing of the trigger, for example when the pistol is dropped.
Inertia Firing Pin
The design of the firing pin prevents the firing pin from protruding through the face of the
slide when the hammer is in its rest position. This eliminates the possibility of a discharge
when a loaded pistol is dropped on the hammer.
Firing Pin Safety
The firing pin safety keeps the firing pin blocked until the trigger is pulled. This safety
device minimizes the risk of accidental discharge through mishandling such as when a loaded
pistol is dropped.
Safety Stop on the Hammer
A half-cock safety notch is on the hammer so as to prevent it from striking the firing pin
when the hammer is manually cocked, and a thumb could slip. When the hammer is on the
safety stop, it is not leaning against the firing pin stop, but its position is further back.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Ammunition
Always use ammunition in an allowable production design which is in compliance with
standards applicable for ammunition manufacturers and is approved by the CIP (Permanent
International Commission for Firearms Testing) or SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition
Manufacturers' Institute Inc. of the United States). The use of other cartridges could damage
the handgun or cause injury to the shooter. When using factory-made ammunition with
standard speed, the use of firearms produced by Česká zbrojovka a.s. is safe. Check the
ammunition you are going to use to make sure that it corresponds to the caliber of your firearm.
Commercially produced ammunition is clearly marked with the caliber on the bottom or around
the bottom of each cartridge case. The manufacturer of the firearm does not recommend
