AMMUNITION (CARTRIDGES) NOTICE
WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR
ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY WHATSOEVER OCCURRING IN
CONNECTION WITH, OR AS THE RESULT OF, THE USE IN THE
REDHAWK REVOLVER OF FAULTY, OR NON-STANDARD, OR
“RE-MANUFACTURED”, OR HAND LOADED (RELOADED)
AMMUNITION, OR OF CARTRIDGES OTHER THAN THOSE FOR
WHICH THE FIREARM WAS ORIGINALLY CHAMBERED.
HANDLING
CARRYING: The Redhawk revolver can be carried with all chambers loaded.
When the hammer and trigger are fully forward, the transfer-bar is lowered
out of its firing position and the hammer rests directly on the frame.
WARNING HANDLING
If the trigger is held to the rear, the gun
can fire if the hammer strikes the
transfer bar. Note that it need not be a
deliberate effort to pull the trigger. Any
situation where the trigger attains its
rearward position and permits the
transfer bar to be interposed between the
hammer and the firing pin can cause the
cartridge under the firing pin to
discharge.
NEVER DROP OR STRIKE THE
REVOLVER – COCKED OR UNCOCKED
CARRY AND HANDLE THE REVOLVER
IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE
HAMMER AND TRIGGER WILL NOT BE
STRUCK.
NEVER CARRY ANY
REVOLVER WITH THE
HAMMER COCKED OR THE
TRIGGER HELD TO THE REAR
DRY-FIRING
“Dry Firing” is practicing the trigger pull of the empty revolver for practice
and familiarity. The Redhawk revolver can be dry-fired without damage to
the firing pin or internal components.
Be sure that the revolver is unloaded before handling. Be sure you always
point the revolver in a safe direction, even when dry-firing for practice. Do
not dry-fire the revolver with the plastic ‘safety disc’ on the cylinder.
