Manual

CAUTION: When firing the double-action only revolver,

be sure that the trigger is released completely to its fully

forward position before attempting to pull 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), pulling the trigger

will not fire the revolver. The trigger must be fully released after each

shot is fired. This characteristic is found on all modern double-action

revolvers and “double-action only” pistols.

HANDLING

CARRYING: The SP101 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

DRY-FIRING

“Dry Firing” is practicing the trigger pull of the empty revolver for practice and

familiarity. The SP101 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 of your bullet

stop, even when dry-firing for practice. Do not dry-fire the revolver with the

plastic ‘safety disc’ on the cylinder.

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.
