Warnings, Ammunition Restrictions,
and Maintenance
Completely read this safety manual before using a
ported barrel pistol. Transfer this manual to any
subsequent owner or user of the pistol. If you are
inexperienced in the handling of firearms, obtain
expert instruction before attempting to shoot. Neither
this manual nor this product can take the place of
proper instruction in the safety aspects of shooting, the
use of firearms, and the use of a firearm for self-
defense. Severe injury to hands, eyes, face, other
persons or property will occur with improper use of a
ported pistol.
PORTED BARREL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always point gun in a safe direction.
Keep your gun unloaded until you are ready to shoot.
Safety Notes
Always use eye and ear protection when shooting or
when in close proximity to shooting. A ported barrel
pistol, in common with most pistols using muzzle brake
devices, produces greater noise than normal pistols and
this poses a danger to hearing. Never position any part
of the body over or near the exhaust ports. Never cycle
the slide with your hands over the exhaust ports. Never
point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot. If
the ported pistol is drawn rapidly it must not be
discharged in proximity to the holster or the shooter’s
eyes, legs, arms, clothing or bystanders. Do not shoot a
ported barrel pistol from the hip. The blast from the
exhaust ports can cause injury or property damage
several feet away. Use caution when shooting to avoid
overhead objects that may be damaged by the blast
from the barrel exhaust ports.
