Instruction manual

Putting the safety between “S” and “F” can

result in the pistol firing when the trigger

is pulled. Always move the safety fully to its

intended position and check it. The safety

is not “on” unless it is completely “on”.

Never depend on a safety mechanism or

any other mechanical device to justify

careless handling or permitting the pistol

to point in an unsafe direction. The only

“safe” pistol is one in which the bolt is

open, the chamber is empty and there is no

magazine in the gun.

Safety: The safety locks the sear when the safety is “on”. Because the safety

cannot be moved to its “on” (S) position unless the hammer is cocked, the safety

therefore serves as a cocking indicator. The bolt can be manually retracted and

released when the safety is “on” (S). This feature allows the pistol to be loaded or

unloaded when the safety is “on” (S). As shown below and elsewhere in this

Manual, the safety should be “on” (the “S” fully showing) at all times except

when the gun user is deliberately positioned to fire at a selected target.

OPERATION OF SAFETY

Figure 1. Safety in the “off” or “fire” (F)

position. Safety is all the way down.

Figure 2. Safety in the “on” or “safe” (S)

position. Safety is all the way up.

Bolt Stop: When the last shot has been fired and the magazine is empty, the bolt

stop automatically holds the bolt open. When there is an empty magazine in the

pistol and the bolt is retracted manually, the bolt stop will automatically hold the

bolt open. If a loaded magazine is inserted in the pistol when the bolt is closed

and the bolt is then retracted fully, the bolt stop will not automatically hold open

the bolt. The user can actuate the bolt stop mechanism to hold the bolt open at

any time by retracting the bolt and pushing up the bolt stop.

The bolt stop can be released when an empty

magazine is in the pistol by

drawing back slightly on the bolt and depressing the bolt stop thumbpiece. When

the bolt is released, it will move forward under pressure from the recoil spring.

WARNING –MANUAL SAFETY

NEVER PUT SAFETY 1/2 ON

The Safety is not “on” unless it “clicks” fully up into the “S” position.
