Manual

If lead bullet loads are fired extensively, lead build-up may cause cylinder

binding. Lubricate the cylinder crane gap with Break-Free

CLP or some other

lubrication which meets mil. spec. Mil-1-63460 to prevent this condition.

STORAGE

GUNS SHOULD NOT BE STORED LOADED!

Do not keep your revolver in a leather, fabric or canvas holster when it is stored.

These materials attract moisture, even though the holster may appear to be

perfectly dry.

TO RENDER THE REVOLVER INOPERATIVE FOR SAFE STORAGE

With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, press the cylinder latch and swing the

cylinder outward. Check to be sure that each chamber is completely unloaded!

With a coin or screwdriver, unscrew the grip panels and remove the grips. Cock

the hammer and then insert the disassembly pin into the hole at the bottom of the

mainspring strut. Uncock the hammer, remove the hammer strut from the frame,

remove the hammer pivot from the frame, and lift the hammer out of the top of

the frame. Use a screwdriver to depress the trigger housing latch and remove the

trigger assembly from the bottom of the frame.

Store the hammer and the trigger assembly in different locations from the frame.

When disassembled in this manner, the revolver is inoperable. It is impossible to

fire the revolver until the trigger assembly and the hammer have been correctly

reassembled into the frame.

To reassemble the revolver for firing, carefully re-insert the trigger housing into

the frame. Place the hammer into the top of the frame, and reinsert the hammer

pivot pin. Cock the hammer, reinstall the mainspring strut, and remove the

disassembly pin from the mainspring strut. Lower the hammer and replace the

grips on the revolver. The revolver is now reassembled and can be loaded and fired

normally.

While the revolver is less likely to be used by unauthorized persons when

disassembled in the above manner, it is always safest to store a firearm with the

supplied locking device correctly installed, or to store the firearm in a gun safe

or other secure location, away from children and unauthorized adults. Guns

should always be stored securely, unloaded

and separate from their ammunition.

USE THE LOCKING DEVICE SUPPLIED WITH THE REVOLVER FOR STORAGE.
