Safety Instructions

Note:

The manufacturer of the firearm does not recommend excessive dry firing (firing without

ammunition). It is advisable to use snap caps for dry training as they are intended for this

purpose.

Engaging the Safety Mode

The version equipped with a decocking device is not covered in this section!

Push the safety up to the Safety-On position (Fig. 5) until the red warning dot is covered.

The safety in this position blocks the trigger mechanism and slide, thus preventing the pulling

of the trigger and operating the slide. The safety lever can be set to the "Safe" position even

with the hammer on safety notch. However, it is strongly not recommended that the safety be

engaged while in this state as any forced cocking of the hammer or pulling of the trigger could

damage the trigger mechanism and cause unwanted firing even though the safety is in the

"Locked" position. The pistol safety shall be only engaged with the hammer in its rear position,

i.e. cocked. The use of safety is therefore convenient for short interruptions of firing only.

Besides the method previously described it is possible to put the pistol into a safety mode

and still be ready to fire immediately:

Load the pistol. Grasp the grip, POINT IN A SAFE DIRECTION. With thumb press on the

grooved area (thumb piece) of the hammer, pull the trigger and release the hammer slowly

ahead (Fig. 6) until it rests on the action or safety thumb of the hammer. Release the trigger.

Practise this operation very carefully to avoid an accidental discharge! We strongly

recommend to practise this operation beforehand with the pistol unloaded!

In this state the pistol is safe for all normal handling and at the same time ready for

immediate use. Please remember that the safest way to secure a pistol is to unload it and

store it in a safe place!

Decocking

The version equipped with a manual safety is not covered in this section!

MAKE SURE THE PISTOL IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION and thumb down the

decocking control lever (Fig. 7).

Pressing down the decocking control lever actuates the lowering of the hammer from the

cocked position to the hammer safety notch position, without any need to pull the trigger. Even

if there is a cartridge in the chamber the pistol is (hammer decocked) safe for all normal

handling in this state, and ready for immediate use in a Double Action mode of fire.

Sight Adjustment

The pistol sights were sighted in at the manufacturing plant at a distance of 15 m

so that the mean point of impact approximately conforms to the point of aim. Windage

correction can be carried out by the drifting of the rear sight in the dovetail and then secured

in its position by screw. Elevation correction is carried out by exchanging the front sight for

higher or lower sizes and by securing with a screw.
