Manual

• Never carry a fi rearm loaded unless you have fi rst
obtained training from a qualifi ed instructor in
holstering, drawing and carrying a loaded handgun.
• Do not carry a loaded fi rearm with a live
round in the chamber while walking, running,
crossing or climbing a fence, stream, ditch or
any obstacle, or where there is any possibility
of slipping or falling, as this could lead to
a possible unintentional discharge.
• Always make sure that this fi rearm is in top working
condition and that no internal or external parts
have been damaged as a result of corrosion,
improper maintenance or dropping. If evidence
of these conditions exist, have it inspected by a
competent gunsmith or contact Kimber prior to use.
• Firearms should be unloaded when not actually in
use. For increased safety, fi rearms should be stored
unloaded in a location that is secure (for example,
apply the supplied cable lock to the fi rearm and
lock the fi rearm in a gun safe) and inaccessible to
children and any other unauthorized person, with
ammunition locked securely in a different location.
• Never leave a loaded fi rearm unattended.
Someone, especially a child, may fi re it and cause
death, serious injury or damage to property.
• Any fi rearm that is not under your direct
immediate control should be unloaded and
rendered inoperable (for example, by use of a cable
lock) and inaccessible to unauthorized users.
• Be sure of your target and beyond. Make
sure that your backstop is adequate
to stop bullets prior to shooting.
• While on the range, be sure to carry this fi rearm
cleared, with slide locked open and muzzle
pointed in a safe direction, until ready to shoot.
• Obey all range rules at all times.
• Always wear adequate hearing and eye
protection when using any fi rearm.
• Always ensure that barrel and action are clear of
obstructions before shooting. Shooting a blocked
fi rearm can result in death or serious injury
and damage to the fi rearm and/or property.
• Do not rely on your fi rearm’s “safety” or other
mechanical devices. Any mechanical device can
fail. Always point the muzzle in a safe direction.
• Use correct ammunition.
• Do not alter or modify your fi rearm and
have fi rearms serviced regularly.
• Never drink alcoholic beverages or take drugs prior
to or during shooting or handling of this or any
other fi rearm, as this could affect or impair your
vision, coordination and judgment, and may have
other legal consequences.
• Seek a doctor’s advice if you are taking
any medication prior to engaging
in any shooting activity.
• Keep the manual safety fully engaged in the “safe”
position when fi rearm is loaded until you are ready
to fi re. Immediately unload and clear this fi rearm
when shooting sequence has been completed.
• Never shoot at any hard or fl at surface, such as
rock, metal or water. The resulting ricochet could
result in death, serious injury or property damage.
• Always make sure the fi rearm is
unloaded before cleaning.
• Never force a jammed action. This could
cause a round to explode resulting in death,
serious injury or property damage.
