SAFETY FEATURES
Colt MK IV/Series 80 and 90 semi-automatic pistols incorporate several positive
safety devices which, if properly employed, can minimize the danger of acciden-
tal firing. These safety devices are described on the following pages.
Trigger Guard
The Trigger Guard is a metal loop around the trigger to protect it from damage
and to help prevent accidental discharge.
Slide Lock Safety
The Slide Lock Safety is located on the left rear of the pistol just below the slide.
With hammer fully cocked and Slide Lock Safety applied, upper part of Slide
Lock Safety engages slide lock notch to prevent rearward movement of slide,
while an internal cam surface engages the sear to prevent forward hammer
movement when trigger is squeezed. This safety device can be applied only
when the slide is fully forward and hammer is fully cocked.
To apply Slide Lock Safety, point pistol in safe direction, keep fingers outside
trigger guard, pull slide fully to rear and allow it to return sharply forward,
leaving the hammer in fully cocked position. Press up on Slide Lock Safety
