ENGLISH
Always wear safety glasses when firing your STEYR pistol
to protect your eyes.
Always wear ear protection when firing your STEYR pistol
to protect your hearing.
Always be sure that your backstop is adequate to stop and
contain bullets before firing so that you do not hit anything outside of
the shooting range area. A bullet could travel through or past your tar-
get as far as 2 miles (approximately 3km). If in doubt, do not shoot.
Never shoot at a hard surface, such as a rock, or a liquid
surface, such as water, because a bullet may ricochet and travel in any
direction, striking you or someone else.
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.
When ready to fire be sure that the area behind the slide
is clear (check your thumb) and do not hold the pistol near your body,
because the slide will move forcefully rearward when the pistol is
fired.
Always keep yourself and others clear of the ejection port
because spent cartridges are hot and are ejected with enough force to
cause injury. Never touch the slide or barrel immediately after firing
because they may be hot and could cause burns.
Never place your fingers in the ejection port because they
could be injured by the movement of the slide.
Never fire your STEYR pistol near an animal unless it is
trained to accept that noise. An animal’s startled reaction could injure
it, or cause an accident.
Always put a responsible and competent person in charge
