Instruction manual

OPERATION OF MANUAL SAFETY
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.
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.
WARNING –MANUAL SAFETY
NEVER PUT SAFETY 1/2 ON
The Safety is not “on” unless it “clicks” fully up into the “S” position.

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.
