OPERATION OF INTERNAL LOCK
Never rely upon any safety mechanism or mechanical device to justify unsafe
or careless handling of a firearm. When securing your revolver or to prevent
unauthorized access, you should rely first and foremost on the key-operated
locking device supplied with your pistol. (See Page 6.) However, for added
security, and to comply with certain state and local laws, your RUGER

also is equipped with a manually operated internal lock. When actuated,
this internal lock will secure the internal hammer in the uncocked position.
Before activating the internal lock on your revolver, first visually inspect the
chambers to verify that they are empty and do not contain any cartridges.
To activate the internal lock, make sure that the revolver is pointed in a safe
direction. Using a small screwdriver, remove the screw securing the grip and
remove grip to expose the internal lock. (See “Nomenclature,” p. 11.) Insert the
key into the keyway and rotate the key fully clockwise (about 180º from the fully
unlocked position) until it stops. (See Figure 2.) Remove the key and verify that
the internal lock is engaged by attempting to pull the trigger. If the internal lock is
engaged, you will not be able to pull the trigger.
To deactivate the internal lock, place the internal lock key into the internal lock
keyway (see “Nomenclature,” p. 11) and rotate the key counter-clockwise (about
180º from the fully locked position) until it stops. (See Figure 2.)
Be sure to store the internal lock key in a secure location, away from children and
careless adults. Do not store your firearm with the key in the internal lock keyway.
Never lock a loaded gun – always unload the gun before locking.
