Manual

12. ALWAYS PUT A KNOWLEDGEABLE AND

RESPONSIBLE PERSON IN CHARGE TO MAINTAIN

SAFETY CONTROL WHEN A GROUP IS FIRING ON A

RANGE. Obey his commands so that discipline is

maintained to reduce the likelihood of accidents.

13. ALWAYS CARRY YOUR PISTOL EMPTY WITH SLIDE

LATCHED OPEN WHILE ON A RANGE until preparing to

fire. Keep it pointing towards the backstop when loading,

firing and unloading, to eliminate the risk of injury, death,

or damage to property.

LOADING CAUTIONS

14. ALWAYS BE SURE BARREL BORE, CHAMBER AND

ACTION ARE CLEAN AND CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS.

Clean a fouled pistol immediately so that it will function

correctly and safely.

15. ALWAYS USE ONLY CLEAN, DRY, ORIGINAL HIGH

QUALITY COMMERCIALLY MANUFACTURED

AMMUNITION IN GOOD CONDITION WHICH IS

APPROPRIATE TO THE CALIBER OF YOUR PISTOL. Gun

and ammunition manufacturers design their products

within exacting engineering safety limits. Hand loads and

remanufactured ammunition are sometimes outside

those limits and can be so unsafe as to blow up the

chamber, slide and receiver and cause injury, death, or

damage to property.
