STORAGE
GUNS SHOULD NOT BE STORED LOADED!
Do not keep the pistol stored in a leather holster or case. Leather attracts
moisture, even though the holster or case may appear to be perfectly dry.
Sturm, Ruger also offers gun safes for sale as a means to secure more than one
firearm. Please call the Heritage Safe Co. at 1-800-515-7233 for details and
ordering information.
Never place or store any firearm in such a
manner that it may be dislodged. Firearms
should always be stored securely and unloaded,
away from children and careless adults. Use the
locking device originally supplied with this
firearm for storage.
The use of a locking device or safety lock is only
one aspect of responsible firearms storage. For
increased safety, firearms should be stored
unloaded and locked in a location that is both
separate from their ammunition and inaccessible
to children and any other unauthorized person.
STORE SECURELY & UNLOADED

WARNING - LUBRICATION
IMPROPER LUBRICATION
DESTROYS GUNS
Firing a pistol with oil, grease, or any other material even
partially obstructing the bore may result in damage to the
pistol and serious injury to the shooter and those nearby.
Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on ammunition. If
the powder of a cartridge is affected by the lubricant, it may
not be ignited, but the primer firing may push the bullet
into the bore where it may be lodged. Firing a subsequent
bullet into the obstructed bore may damage the pistol and
cause serious injury or death to the shooter and those
nearby. Use lubricants properly. You are responsible for the
proper care and maintenance of your firearms.
