Never solely rely on a loaded chamber indicator or your memory to
determine if your STEYR pistol is loaded. Always retract the slide and
visually check to make sure there is not a cartridge in the chamber.
RESET-ACTION TRIGGER SYSTEM: The reset-action trigger system fea-
tures a trigger safety, a drop safety and a firing pin catch. These pas-
sive safeties function automatically without the need for any action
by the user. They are always on and are automatically deactivated by
pulling the trigger to its rearmost position.
Your STEYR pistol does not have a manual safety and will
fire if the trigger is pulled when there is a round in the chamber.
Although STEYR pistols have several internal safeties, de-
signed to prevent an unintentional discharge if the pistol is dropped
or hit, the proper and safe function of your STEYR pistol depends on it
being used for its intended purpose and not being altered or modified.
Like any other mechanical device, if your STEYR pistol is subjected to
unusual and extreme forces a part failure can occur. Therefore, safe
firearm handling practices and the instructions and safety warnings in
this manual must always be followed to minimize the risk of serious
personal injury or death to you or others.
In case any of your STEYR pistol’s safeties prove to be
ineffective for any reason, the possibility of an unintentional discharge
exists. If so, your STEYR pistol should be immediately unloaded and
not be used again until it has been examined by STEYR authorized
personnel.
