Owner's Manual

Note that gun equipped with the single set trigger can also be fired without first setting the trigger.
With a cocked hammer simply pull back on the trigger and the hammer will be released. Of course
the amount of pressure required will be greater than when the trigger has been “set”.
WARNING
If the set trigger has been adjusted for a short and light release, it may be possible that a strong
shock or a strong vibration may cause an unexpected hammer fall.
This situation can be extremely dangerous, as shot may occur. Therefore after you make an
adjustment, please make the following safety tests:
 with a muzzle loading gun:
1a) Make certain the gun is UNLOADED, unprimed or uncapped and no powder charge in the
chamber.
2a) Full cock the hammer.
3a) Press the trigger blade forward, or set the rear trigger by pressing it back until you hear
a click sound indicating the action has been “set”.
4a) Holding the gun pointing upwards, knock the butt sharply, several times, against a wood
surface protecting the stock in a proper way. Repeat this shock test while holding the
gun in other positions.
5a) The hammer must not be accidentally released. If the hammer does release you must
increase the release pressure slightly and repeat these shock tests until the hammer
never releases when the gun is shock tested in several positions.
 with a breech loading gun:
1b) Make certain the gun is UNLOADED, without any cartridge into the chamber.
2b) Place the hammer in the safe half-cock position and insert a FIRED cartridge case, so the
firing pin will have something to strike against. (For the Rolling Block model it will be
necessary to cock the hammer to enable the breechblock opening).
3b) Full cock the hammer, then set the trigger properly.
4b) Lower the breech lever (Sharps) fully and slam it closed at least 10 times. Use more
force than normally would be used, or holding the gun pointing upwards, knock the butt
sharply, several times, against a wood surface protecting the stock in the proper way.
Repeat this shock test while holding the gun in other positions.
5b) The hammer must not be released by this strong shocking. If the hammer remains in full
cocked position, your trigger setting is normal and safe.
6b) If the hammer does release during this shock test, you must change the adjustment of
the front, rear or both triggers in order to obtain proper safety.
CAUTION : If you allow others to shoot your pistol or rifle, we suggest letting them try the set
triggers before allowing live ammunition to be fired. The very light trigger pressure is a big
surprise to many shooters who have not had previous experience with the single or double set
trigger system. The hammer does not have to be cocked to allow this trigger practice. Just set
the trigger and allow the new shooter to experience the light pressure required.
