SAFETY FEATURES
This USFA pistol incorporates several positive safety
devices which, if properly employed, can minimize the
danger of accidental firing. These safety devices are
described on the following pages.
Trigger Guard
The Trigger Guard is a metal loop around the trigger to
protect it from damage and to help prevent accidental
discharge.
Slide Lock Safety
The Slide Lock Safety is located on the left rear of the
pistol just below the slide. With the hammer fully cocked
and Slide Lock Safety applied, the upper part of the Slide
Lock Safety engages the slide lock notch to prevent
rearward movement of the slide, while an internal cam
surface engages the sear to prevent forward hammer
movement when the trigger is squeezed. This safety
device can be applied only when the slide is fully forward
and hammer is fully cocked.
To apply Slide Lock Safety, point pistol in a safe direction,
keep fingers outside the trigger guard, pull slide fully to
rear and allow it to return sharply forward, leaving ‘. the
hammer in the fully cocked position. Press up on the
Slide Lock Safety until it fully engages the slide lock
notch (See Figure 2).
