TO UNCOCK (DECOCK) THE REVOLVER

If your revolver is cocked, and you wish to let the hammer down to its forward

position (against the frame), proceed as follows: USE EXTREME CARE WHEN

ATTEMPTING TO DECOCK THE REVOLVER, AS THE THUMB SLIPPING

DURING THIS PROCESS CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE IF

THE TRIGGER IS HELD TO THE REAR.

1. Make certain that the revolver is pointed in a safe direction (See Rule 2, Page

27).

2. Make certain both hands are dry and not impeded in any way – gloves,

bandages, cold, etc.

3. Grasp the revolver (if right handed) so that the thumb and forefinger of your

left hand are firmly holding the frame, forward of the trigger guard. Thus,

your left hand is in full control of the revolver (See Figure 4A, Page 11).

4. Place your right thumb firmly on the hammer spur and, with your thumb

securely in control of the hammer, squeeze the trigger only enough to permit

the hammer to ‘break free’ of the trigger. At that instant, IMMEDIATELY

RELEASE THE TRIGGER and then slowly permit the hammer, STILL

SECURE UNDER YOUR THUMB, to move fully forward to its resting position

against the frame. NOTE: It is imperative that finger pressure be removed

from the trigger just as soon as it is free of the hammer. Then, properly, the

trigger and hammer will move towards their fully forward rest positions

together (See Figure 4B, Page 11).

WARNING–FIRING

When firing the Super Redhawk revolver,

be sure all persons are a safe distance to

the rear of the shooter. When fired, all

revolvers discharge hot gas and particles

of lead, powder grains, or lubricant

through the clearance gap between the

cylinder and the rear of the barrel at high

speed. This can injure a person who is

standing too close to the revolver.

When firing the Super Redhawk revolver

(or any revolver), always be certain that

nothing – including your hands – is in

the path of the hot gas and particles

which are discharged from the front and

sides of the cylinder.

When shooting, adequate eye protection

is essential. Shooters and bystanders

must wear shooting glasses. Hearing

protection must also be worn. Exposure

to shooting noise can damage hearing.
