STORAGE
GUNS SHOULD NOT BE STORED LOADED!
Do not keep your revolver in a leather, fabric or canvas holster when it is stored.
These materials attract moisture, even though the holster may appear to be
perfectly dry.
TO RENDER THE REVOLVER INOPERATIVE FOR SAFE STORAGE
With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, press the cylinder latch and swing the
cylinder outward. Check to be sure that each chamber is completely unloaded!
With a coin or screwdriver, unscrew the grip panels and remove the grips. Cock the
hammer and then insert the disassembly pin into the hole at the bottom of the
mainspring strut. Uncock the hammer, remove the hammer strut from the frame,
remove the hammer pivot from the frame, and lift the hammer out of the top of
the frame. Use a screwdriver to depress the trigger housing latch and remove the
trigger assembly from the bottom of the frame.
Store the hammer and the trigger assembly in different locations from the frame.
When disassembled in this manner, the revolver is inoperable. It is impossible to
fire the revolver until the trigger assembly and the hammer have been correctly
reassembled into the frame.
USE THE LOCKING DEVICE SUPPLIED WITH
THE REVOLVER FOR STORAGE.

WARNING –LUBRICATION
Firing a revolver with oil, grease, or any
other material even partially obstructing the
bore may result in damage to the revolver
and injury to the shooter and those nearby.
Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on
ammunition. If the powder charge of a
cartridge is affected by the lubricant, it may
not be ignited, but the energy from the
primer may be sufficient to push the bullet
into the bore where it may become lodged.
Firing a subsequent bullet onto the
obstructed bore may damage the revolver
and cause injury to the shooter and those
nearby. Use lubricants properly. You are
responsible for the proper care and
maintenance of your firearms.
IMPROPER LUBRICATION
DESTROYS GUNS
If lead bullet loads are fired extensively, lead build-up may cause cylinder
binding. Lubricate the cylinder crane gap with Break-Free
®
CLP or some other
lubrication which meets mil. spec. Mil-163460 to prevent this condition.
