5. DO NOT HOLD THE REVOLVER BY THE BARREL OR CYLINDER WHEN
FIRING.
CAUTION–DOUBLE ACTION FIRING
3. The revolver is now ready to fire, either “double-action” by pulling the
trigger through its complete arc for each shot, or “single-action” by
cocking the hammer and then pulling the trigger for each shot. The
trigger pull is somewhat shorter and lighter when the revolver is fired
single action, and this is the preferred mode for precise shots or target
shooting.
4. DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO FIRE.
When firing in the double action
mode, be sure that the trigger is
released completely to its fully
forward position before pulling the
trigger for a subsequent shot. If
the trigger finger is allowed to
interfere with the full recovery of
the trigger (preventing it from
moving through about the last
one-eighth inch of its forward
movement), the trigger cannot be
pulled again for another discharge.
The trigger must be fully released
after each shot is fired. This
characteristic is found in all
modern double-action revolvers
and “double-action only” pistols.
