Manual

When the Slide Lock Safety is down, the sear is free to

release the hammer to fire the pistol when it is properly

gripped and the trigger is squeezed.

Grip Safety

The Grip Safety is located on the upper rear part of the

receiver (See Figure 1). The Grip Safety is automatically

applied by spring action to prevent rearward travel of the

trigger unless the pistol grip is firmly and properly

grasped. The front of the Grip Safety (inside the pistol

frame) contacts the rear of the trigger to prevent its

rearward movement. When the pistol grip is positively

grasped, the Grip Safety is rotated out of contact with the

rear of the trigger to allow trigger movement.

Half Cock Notch in Hammer

The Half Cock Notch is an automatically operating fail-

safe device which will engage the sear in the unlikely

event of primary sear notch failure. This will prevent the

hammer from falling fully forward unintentionally and

insure against uncontrolled automatic fire. It also

prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin should

your hand slip from the slide while cocking the pistol
