Manual

When you inspect your revolver, you must first check to ensure
that it is unloaded. Do this with your finger off the trigger and out
of the trigger guard (Figure 6) and keep the barrel of the gun
pointed in a safe direction. Press the thumbpiece forward and
push the cylinder to the left (Figure 7).
You are now able to visually check all charge holes for cartridges
and the barrel for obstructions.
You must follow this procedure every time your revolver is
handled, inspected, handed to another person, transported or
stored.

INTERNAL LOCK
MECHANISM
Never underestimate the possibility for an
unauthorized user to find your key or otherwise
defeat this internal lock.
You must continuously examine your personal
situation to make sure the internal lock provides a
sufficient level of security to keep unauthorized
users from firing the revolver.
An internal lock mechanism will be added to
revolvers during 2001.
FEATURES
This feature prevents hammer
and trigger motion when activated.
On revolvers with internal lock
mechanisms, markings on the left
side of the frame, adjacent to the
lock, indicate the locking status. In
addition, revolvers with fully
exposed hammers display a flag
marked “LOCKED” when the
revolver is locked. This lock requires an external key to engage
and to disengage. The lock is located adjacent to and slightly
over the thumb piece. (Figure 8)
