YOUR NEW NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM HANDGUN

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Ovewiew..

A NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM handgun functions as a single-action, blow-back recoil, automatic loading firearm-

more commonly referred to as 'semi -automatic. A semi-automatic firearm will fire a single ammunition round

and automatically reload another round into the chamber with each pull of the trigger. All NIGHTHAWK

CUSTOM model handguns will continue this reloading operation until all ammunition rounds have been

emptied from the magazine and there is no remaining supply from which to chamber a new round. The slide

will remain open after the last round has been fired

from the handgun.

Components for safety

...

NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM handguns have a mechanical Grip Safety and a Thumb Safety device to assist you

in the safe handling of the firearm. These features, when engaged, provide additional protection against

Accidental Discharge by preventing the trigger from releasing the hammer and striking the firing pin.

The Grip Safety assists in preventing the handgun from firing without the Grip Safety being depressed. The

thumb Safety locks the slide and restricts movement. The thumb safety also prevents the sear from

disengaging the hammer allowing the hammer to strike the firing pin. On some NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM

models, the Thumb Safety can be operated from both sides of the handgun, and is referred to as an

ambi-

safety. The Thumb Safety can only be engaged with the hammer in the cocked position ready to fire.

Note: Safely systems provide only a amount of protection, and -like any mechanical system

can

malfunction unexpectedly. Do not load the NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM "191 1" model handguns with

ammunition before reading all the Safety Instructions and Basic Rules of Firearm Safely (page

of this

owner's manual).
