Manual

17. ALWAYS WEAR AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR EAR PROTEC-
TION WHEN SHOOTING, especially on a range. Without ear protection, the
noise of even one shot from your pistol, and other guns close to you, could
leave a "ringing" in the ears for some time after firing, while the cumulative
long term effect could be permanent hearing loss.
18. ALWAYS WEAR AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR PROTECTIVE
SHOOTING GLASSES. Flying particles could damage eyes and cause blind-
ness; but protective shooting glasses should prevent such injury.
19. ALWAYS KEEP THE SAFETY ON WHEN PISTOL IS LOADED AND COCKED
UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO FIRE. This will minimize risk of an accidental
discharge.
20. ALWAYS KEEP CLEAR AND KEEP OTHERS CLEAR OF THE EJECTION
PORT. Spent cartridges are ejected with enough force to cause injury. The
ejection port must also be unobstructed by your hand to insure safe ejection
of live rounds. Never place fingers in ejection port; they could be burned by
hot metal or injured by the slide moving forward.
21. NEVER SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER OR PUT YOUR FINGER INTHE TRIGGER
GUARD UNTILYOU ARE AIMINGAT A TARGET AND READY TO SHOOT.
This will prevent you firing the pistol when it is pointing in an unsafe direction.
SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU
