pulled fully rearward. (See diagrams below) When the shooter pulls the hammer back
only part of the way, without pulling the trigger, you will notice that the hammer block,
which is an integral part of the trigger, is automatically in a “blocking position”, pre-
venting the hammer from going forward and making contact with the firing pin. Only
when the trigger is pulled fully rearward will the hammer block be pivoted out of the way,
allowing the hammer to come fully forward and make contact with the firing pin.
There are other design features, which also act to increase safety when using the
OMEGA. When the breech block has been lowered by opening the action, you will not be
able to cock the hammer; conversely, when the hammer is cocked, you will not be able
to lower the breech block and open the action.
If the trigger does not move forward after being released by the trigger finger,
the gun must be returned to the factory for inspection and repair. Failure to
follow this rule can result in accidental discharge which can cause injury
and/or death to the shooter or bystanders and damage to property
