WARNING –CYLINDER INTERLOCK
14
2. Insert cartridges and gently close cylinder, making sure it is securely latched.
Do not “flip” the cylinder open or shut.
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.
FIGURE 3
LOADING THE REVOLVER.
➧
When correctly operated, the cylinder
cannot be opened when the hammer is
cocked, and the hammer/trigger
mechanism is not able to be operated
until the cylinder is locked shut.
However, this safety interlock can be
intentionally defeated if the crane latch is
depressed and the hammer is then
cocked while the cylinder is opened. If
the cylinder is then shut when the
hammer is cocked, the hammer may fall
and the gun may fire.
NEVER CLOSE OR OPEN
THE CYLINDER WHILE
THE HAMMER IS COCKED
TO LOAD AND FIRE
Be sure the revolver is pointed in a safe direction and is
never cocked while loading.
1. Press the crane latch and guide cylinder out of frame to the left to its loading
position (See Figure 3, below).
