DELTA 5
™
The safety is located at the rear of the action on the right hand side (FIG U RE 3 .2.1),
and has two positions: SAFE and FIRE. Daniel Defense DELTA 5 Ries utilize precision
triggers with integrated safeties that block the trigger from engaging the sear. The
safety is in the SAFE position when moved all the way to the rear (FIGURE 3. 2.1),
and in the FIRE position when pushed forward (FIGURE 3.2.2).
NOTE: The safety featured on Daniel Defense rearms is a mechanical safeguard.
As with all mechanical systems, failures within this system are possible and may not
be visible to the operator. ACTIVATING THE SAFETY SELECTOR LEVER TO THE
“SAFE” POSITION DOES NOT MEAN THE FIREARM IS INCAPABLE OF FIRING
IF MISHANDLED OR DROPPED.
