Owner’s Manual 2020

3. KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER AT ALL

TIMES UNTIL SHOOTING IS IMMINENT.

4. KEEP ALL FIREARMS UNLOADED DURING TRANSPORT,

EVEN WHEN STORED IN A HOLSTER, GUN CASE,

SCABBARD OR OTHER CONTAINER.

For law enforcement, military personnel and authorized individuals,

refer to the procedures of your organization or to the state and local

laws and guidelines on carrying a loaded firearm.

5. BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND BACKSTOP

Clearly identify your target and what is beyond. Know the range of your

ammunition and where the bullet will land if the target is missed or

the bullet penetrates the target. Special care must be taken when

shooting in any condition which makes identification of the target or

backstop harder to assess, including low light conditions.

Never shoot at water or hard objects. Shooting at the surface of water

or at rock or other hard surfaces increases the chance of ricochets or

fragmentation of the bullet which can result in the bullet striking an

unintended target.

6. WHENEVER YOU HANDLE ANY FIREARM, OR HAND IT TO

SOMEONE, ALWAYS OPEN THE ACTION IMMEDIATELY AND

VISUALLY CHECK THE FIREARM’S CHAMBER AND

MAGAZINE TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE FIREARM IS

COMPLETELY UNLOADED.

Completely unload your firearm as described in Section 6. Make certain

the firearm does not inadvertently contain any ammunition. Remember,

merely removing the magazine does not mean the chamber is

unloaded. Always keep the chamber empty and your fingers away from

the trigger unless shooting is imminent.

7. STORE YOUR FIREARM AND AMMUNITION SEPARATELY,

WELL BEYOND THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Store all firearms in secure, locked cases or a gun safe and store

ammunition separately from your firearms. Keep your firearm unloaded
