Manual

no round is present in the chamber.
4. Always make sure the pistol is unloaded with the slide locked open before
laying it down or handing it to someone else.
5. Never carry any pistol cocked, loaded and ready to fire as this practice
could easily result in an unintentional discharge.
6. Always ensure that this firearm is in proper working condition and that no
internal parts have been damaged as a result of corrosion, improper
maintenance, damage or dropping. If any evidence of these conditions exists,
have the pistol inspected by a competent gunsmith prior to use. Never use
your pistol if it fails to function properly.
7. Never leave a loaded pistol unattended.
8. Always make sure that your backstop is adequate to stop your bullets before
you begin firing.
9. Make sure all other shooters and bystanders are well away from the ejection
pot. Empty cases are ejected under pressure, are hot and can cause injury if
someone is struck.
10. Always obey all range rules.
11. Always wear adequate hearing and eye protection when using any firearm.
12. While on the range, be sure to carry this pistol cleared, and chamber empty
with the slide locked open and muzzle pointed in a safe direction until
ready to shoot. Always assume that any firearm is ready to fire.
13. Always ensure that barrel and action are clear of obstructions. Shooting a
blocked or obstructed firearm can result in serious injury, death and damage
to the weapon.
14. Never drink alcoholic beverages or take drugs and medicines prior to or
during shooting or handling of this or any other firearm.
15. Seek your doctor's advice if you are taking medicine prior to engaging in
any shooting activity.
16. Keep the safety on when the pistol is loaded and cocked until ready to fire.
Immediately unload and clear the pistol when the shooting sequence has been
completed.
17. Never shoot at any hard or flat surfaces such as rocks or water. The
resulting ricochets could result in physical injury, death or property
damage.
18. Never put your finger in the trigger guard until you are ready to fire.
19. Always ensure the pistol is unloaded before cleaning and wear safety
glasses.
20. Never force a jammed action. This could cause a round to explode resulting
in physical injury and damage the pistol.
21. If the pistol fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, as a result of slow
primer ignition (hangfire), keep muzzle pointed downrange for a minimum of
30 seconds. If the round does not fire, remove the magazine, clear the
weapon and examine the ejected, unfired cartridge. If the indent from the
firing pin is off center, light or absent, take the pistol to a competent
gunsmith. If the indent appears normal compared to similar rounds, assume a
faulty round, separate from other cartridges, reload and continue shooting.
22. Never use this pistol in any manner other than that for which it was
specifically intended.
23. Never indulge in "horseplay" while holding any firearm as it may
accidentally discharge.
