Instruction Manual

(Mechanical Malfunctions)
STOP SHOOTING IMMEDIATELY AND UNLOAD YOUR FIREARM if your
firearm develops: a mechanical malfunction; binding or stoppage; spitting
powder/gas; a punctured cartridge primer; a bulged or ruptured cartridge
case; or a sound on firing does not sound quite right. Do NOT try one more
shot but unload your firearm and take it and the ammunition to a qualified
gunsmith or send the firearm back to European American Armory Corp. for
examination. Do not assume that the pistol is empty merely because you
checked the chamber. You must also check the bore for any obstruction
inside the barrel.
BASIC PARTS OF YOUR PISTOL
EXTERNAL CONTROL PARTS:
Trigger Block Safety: The safety mechanism of the pistol provides protection
against accidental and unintentional discharge under normal usage when
prop erly engaged and in good working order. The safety mechanism is not a
substitute for following safe gun handling rules. Do not disengage the safety
unless you are ready to fire the pistol. MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND
HOW THE SAFETY WORKS BEFORE YOU LOAD OR USE THE PISTOL.
The safety mechanism is a lever located on the side of the pistol's receiver.
See Picture 1
The safety may be operated with the hammer cocked (fully back) or not
cocked (all the way down) or in the resting position (about halfway between
fully cocked and not cocked} and with the pistol loaded or unloaded. To place
the safety in the "on" or "safe" position, push the lever up so that it covers
the red dot. When in the "on" or "safe" position, the safety blocks the
rearward motion of the trigger so that it cannot be pulled to the rear thus
stopping the movement of the hammer. To place the safety in the "off'' or
"fire" position, push the safety lever down. When
in the "off'' or "fire" position, the red dot is expo-
sed. You have now disengaged the safety and the
pistol is in the ready-to-fire position. It is always a
good idea tomake sure the gun is pointed in a safe
direction. See Picture 3
