Loading and Firing

the G2 Contender

Pistol or Rifle

Do not assume that a familiarity with other firearms has equipped

you with a knowledge of “safe handling”, as these words apply to the

G2 Contender. Each gun is different. Although the G2 Contender is

equipped with an automatic hammer block, the user is responsible

for practicing “safe gun handling” at all times. Failure to do so can

cause injury and/or death to the shooter or bystanders and damage

to property.

Loading The G2 Contender:

Make sure that the manual firing pin selector

is in the neutral position. When loading the firearm, the barrel is tilted slight-

ly downward and a cartridge is inserted into the chamber in the conventional

manner. The cartridge is pushed forward until its head contacts the extractor.

If the action does not close smoothly, do not force it closed on a live round.

Remove the live round from the chamber and inspect the cartridge and

chamber. If you are unable to recognize and correct the problem, have the

gun examined by a qualified gunsmith.

Forcing the

action closed on a live round may cause accidental discharge. An

accidental discharge may cause injury or death

Firing the G2 Contender: The hammer is drawn to the cocked position

only during the act of firing. When you are ready to fire, support the gun with

both hands (as pictured on the following page). Keep the muzzle pointed in a

safe direction. Draw the hammer to the cocked position. Set the manual fir-

ing pin selector to the fire position required by the cartridge you are firing

(rimfire or centerfire). Aim carefully at the target and fire the shot! After the

shot is fired, open the action and remove the spent round. The automatic

hammer block in the G2 Contender is a mechanical device and is

not foolproof. It is intended to be used in combination with com-

mon sense and safe gun handling practices. Do not rely on the auto-

matic hammer block to overcome the danger of injury to yourself or others

from careless handling or abuse of your G2 Contender.

Do Not Load The

G2 Contender Until You Are Ready To Fire It.

Always keep the muzzle of

your G2 Contender pointed in a safe direction.
