Handling
The term “single action” means that the hammer of your revolver must be man-
ually drawn fully rearward, or “cocked”, before firing each shot. In the process of
cocking your revolver, you should note that there are three separate hammer
positions, each one having its purpose:
1. Basic Safety and “At Rest” Position - Draw the hammer backward only
about 1/4” and you will feel the hammer “click” into its safety notch. (If you listen
carefully, you can hear it). In doing this you are engaging its normal internal
safety notch and, at the same time, activating the built-in hammer block mecha-
nism. This device puts a solid bar of steel between the hammer and frame of
your gun and is designed to prevent accidental firing. Your revolver should
always be in this “at rest” position whenever you are not actually shooting. (See
fig. 1).
2. LoadingfUnloading (Half Cock) Position - Draw the hammer back to this
next second-notch position. (You can also hear this click if you listen carefully).
In doing this, you actually disengage the cylinder of your revolver and allow it to
freely rotate in the direction of the loading gate. This permits you to load or
unload your revolver when you open the loading/unloading gate on the right
rear side of the frame. (See fig. 2).
3. Firing (Full Cock) Position - Draw the hammer fully rearward to its full-
cock notch. Make sure it clicks into this rearmost position. Your revolver is
now ready to fire. NOTE: Never attempt to fire your revolver in any position
except the full-cock position. Attempting to pull the trigger in the safety position
or halfcock position will strain the mechanism and possibly make it unsafe. (It
might even break if you are strong enough). (See fig. 3).
If you have your revolver in the full-cock position and change your mind and
don’t want to shoot, carefully follow these steps:
1. Point the revolver in a safe direction.
2. Fully draw the hammer back with your thumb and continue holding it fully
rearward while pulling the trigger backward. Hold the trigger and hammer back
in this position.
3. While holding the trigger back, slowly lower the hammer downward, past its
half-cock notch. Remember, you are lowering it toward a live round! Be careful
and keep it pointed in a safe direction.
4. When past the half-cock notch, release pressure on the trigger and take your
finger out of the trigger guard.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. Always handle any gun as if it were loaded.
2. Keep the hammer in its safety notch at all times until intending to shoot.
3. Before use, check that the barrel is free of any obstruction.
4. Be particularly careful when unloading the revolver to check the cylinder to
be certain a live round does not remain in the revolver.
5. Never point a gun at anything you do not wish to shoot, even if you think it
is unloaded.
6. Store guns and ammunition separately, beyond the reach of children.
7. Avoid alcoholic beverages before and during shooting.
8. If you do not thoroughly understand the proper use and care on your gun,
seek the advice of someone you know who is competent in this area.
9. Never place a loaded gun into a vehicle or lean the gun against any
object. The gun should be emptied and placed in a case when not in use.
10. Don’t abuse your gun or your hunting/shooting privileges. Both can be
taken away from us due to public pressure against ‘slob’ hunters.
