Use the hair trigger only under controlled circustances when you have benchrested the gun
and when you are ready to shoot. The slightest touch at the trigger will let the gun go off!
Setting the Hair Trigger (Illus.6): Push the trigger forward towards the muzzle until it engages.
Disengaging of the Hair Trigger (Illus.7): Point the gun in a safe direction and immediately uncock the hammers using the
cocking device before you disengage the hair trigger. After you made sure that the gun is uncocked, put your thumb behind
the trigger and keep slight pressure against the trigger. Then lay your index finger of the same hand against the front of the
trigger, but still maintain at the same time slight thumb pressure from behind. Now move the trigger slightly in the pull
direction until it disengages from the hair trigger setting holding the trigger firmly between the two fingers the whole time.
Adjustment of the Hair Trigger weight and travel
The hair trigger weight and travel can be adjusted with the trigger screw (illus.8). Always make sure that the gun is unloaded
and uncocked, and the set trigger is disengaged when adjusting it.
We highly recommend that only a skilled gunsmith does any adjustments to the factory settings of the hair trigger.
Lowering the hair trigger weight and automatically shortening the travel: Turn the trigger screw clockwise.
Increasing the hair trigger weight and automatically increasing the travel: Turn the trigger screw counterclockwise.

When using the hair trigger you must pull the trigger straight back.
Pulling sideways will cause the trigger to stick and will prevent the gun from firing.
