Manual

When firing any revolver, be sure all persons are at a safe
distance to the rear of the shooter. When fired, all revolvers
discharge gas and particles through the clearance gap
between the cylinder and rear of the barrel. When firing any
revolver always be certain that nothing (including your hands)
is in the path of the hot gas and particles which discharge
from the front and sides of the cylinder.
WHEN SHOOTING, ADEQUATE EYE PROTECTION IS
ESSENTIAL. SHOOTERS AND BYSTANDERS MUST WEAR
SHOOTING GLASSES AND HEARING PROTECTION. EXPOSURE
TO SHOOTING NOISE CAN DAMAGE HEARING.
1. If the hammer is cocked, it must be decocked.
2. Open the gate.
3. Turn cylinder clockwise by hand to align a chamber with
the ejector rod. Push the ejector rod rearward using the
thumb-piece on the rod toward fired casing. Repeat until
all chambers are empty. Do not eject unfired cartridges
onto any surface where the cartridge primer might strike a
solid object discharge.
4. Check all cylinder chambers to make sure all cartridges have
been removed. Close Gate.
If the revolver is cocked and you wish to let the hammer
down to its forward position (against the frame) proceed as
follows:
USE EXTREME CARE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO
DECOCK THE REVOLVER AS THE THUMB SLIPPING
DURING THIS PROCESS CAN RESULT IN AN ACCI-
DENTAL DISCHARGE IF THE TRIGGER IS HELD TO
THE REAR.
1. Point revolver in a safe direction and make sure both hands
are dry and not impeded in anyway.
2. Grasp the revolver if right handed so that the thumb and
forefinger of your left hand are firmly holding the frame;
forward of the trigger guard. Your left hand is in full control
of the revolver.
3. With your right thumb securely in control of the hammer
squeeze the trigger only enough to permit the hammer to
“break free” of the trigger. IMMEDIATELY RELEASE
THE TRIGGER--SLOWLY PERMIT THE HAMMER TO
MOVE FULLY FORWARD. The trigger and hammer will
move towards their rest positions.
