Manual

When firing the LCR, be sure all persons

are a safe distance to the rear of the

shooter. When fired, all revolvers

discharge hot gas and particles of lead,

powder grains, or lubricant through the

clearance gap between the cylinder and

the rear of the barrel. These high-speed

discharges can injure a person who is

standing too close to the revolver.

When firing the LCR (or any revolver),

always be certain that nothing –

including your hands – is in the path of

the hot gas and particles which are

discharged from the front and sides of the

cylinder.

When shooting, adequate eye protection

is essential. Shooters and bystanders

must wear shooting glasses. Hearing

protection must also be worn. Exposure

to shooting noise can damage hearing.
