About WARNINGS and CAUTIONS
Throughout this operator’s manual, you will find WARNINGS and CAUTIONS in bold print. All WARNINGS and
CAUTIONS must be read carefully and followed completely. WARNINGS discuss issues that could result in damage
to your revolver or serious injury or death to you or a bystander. CAUTIONS discuss issues that could result in
damage or malfunction of your revolver or cause injury. Read and understand all the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS
before removing the revolver from its package.
WARNING: IF THIS REVOLVER IS CARELESSLY OR IMPROPERLY HANDLED, UNINTENTIONAL DISCHARGE
COULD RESULT AND COULD CAUSE INJURY, DEATH, OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
WARNING: ALWAYS BE AWARE OF POSSIBLE RISK FROM DROPPING YOUR REVOLVER. SOME PARTS OF
THE MECHANISM COULD BE DAMAGED, ALTHOUGH YOU MAY NOT SEE THE DAMAGE. A DAMAGED REVOLVER
COULD DISCHARGE AND CAUSE INJURY, DEATH, OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. If your revolver has been
dropped, have your revolver examined by a competent gunsmith or return it to Colt for service.
WARNING: DO NOT ALTER PARTS, AS THIS MAY RESULT IN THE PREMATURE WEARING OF PARTS OR
REDUCE THE LEVEL OF SAFETY, CAUSING THE REVOLVER TO MALFUNCTION. A MALFUNCTION CAN RESULT
IN AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE, WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH, OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
If any parts do not function properly, have your revolver examined by a competent gunsmith or return it to Colt for
service.
WARNING: WHEN YOU SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER, YOU MUST EXPECT THE REVOLVER TO FIRE, AND YOU
MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIRING IT. YOUR CARE CAN AVOID ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE, AND
YOU WILL THEREBY AVOID ACCIDENTAL INJURY AND DEATH.
WARNING: THIS REVOLVER MAY DISCHARGE ACCIDENTALLY WHEN A ROUND IS IN THE CHAMBER IF IT
IS DROPPED OR RECEIVES A BLOW TO THE MUZZLE OR FRONT OF THE REVOLVER. This can occur regardless
of the position of the hammer or any of the various safety devices. Therefore, extra care and strict adherence to
these instructions by the revolver user is mandatory for minimizing the risk of accidents.
WARNING: ALWAYS HANDLE YOUR REVOLVER AS IF IT WERE LOADED so that you never fire it accidentally
when you think it is unloaded.
WARNING: NEVER POINT YOUR REVOLVER AT ANYTHING YOU DO NOT INTEND TO SHOOT to prevent injury
or death in the event of an accidental discharge.
