Manual
25. NEVER FIRE YOUR REVOLVER NEAR AN ANIMAL unless it
is trained to accept the noise; an animal's startled reaction could
injure it or cause an accident.
26. NEVER INDULGE IN "HORSEPLAY" WHILE HOLDING YOUR
REVOLVER as it may be accidentally discharged.
27. NEVER WALK, CLIMB OR FOLLOW A COMPANION WITH
YOUR REVOLVER COCKED READY TO FIRE, out of its holster,
or with the hammer in any position other than in "safety" with an
empty chamber in front of the hammer to minimize risk of an
accidental discharge. When hunting, hold your revolver so that
you can always control the direction of the muzzle.

MALFUNCTION CAUTIONS I
29. FAILURE TO FIRE: ALWAYS HOLD REVOLVER, KEEPING IT
POINTED TOWARDS THE TARGET OR A SAFE OPEN AREA AND
WAIT 30 SECONDS when revolver falls to fire. If a hangfire (slow
ignition) has occurred, round will fire within 30 seconds. If round
does not fire, eject round and examine primer in base of misfired
round. If firing pin indent on primer is light, misaligned or non-exis-
tent, have revolver examined by a competent gunsmith. If firing pin
indent on primer appears normal (in comparison with similar previ-
ously fired rounds) assume faulty ammunition; segregate misfired
round from other live ammunition and empty cases, reload and
carry on firing.
SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU
