effort to pull the trigger. Any situation where the trigger attains its rearward
position and permits the transfer bar to be interposed between the hammer and
the firing pin can cause the cartridge under the firing pin to discharge if the hammer
falls or is struck. NEVER DROP OR STRIKE ANY REVOLVER—COCKED OR
UNCOCKED. ALWAYS CARRY AND HANDLE THE REVOLVER IN SUCH A
MANNER THAT THE HAMMER WILL NOT BE STRUCK.
HANDLING IN GENERAL
This revolver has a transfer bar safety and does not require an unloaded chamber
under the hammer. However, it is a good safety practice and we recommend that
you keep one chamber empty in the cylinder and rest the hammer on this empty
chamber.
The Big Bore Bounty Hunter has an internal safety device that keeps the hammer
from striking the firing pin except when the hammer is in the third position (full
cock) and the trigger is pulled completely to the rear. After each shot, the trigger
must return to the forward position. If it does not, unload the revolver immediately
and do not use it until it has been repaired by European American Armory Corp.
or a competent gunsmith.
This is a single action revolver and thus, you cannot cock the hammer by pulling
the trigger. This Big Bore Bounty Hunter single action revolver must be cocked
manually for each shot. Always keep your finger off the trigger while handling this
firearm. The only time you should pull the trigger is when firing the revolver or
when carefully lowering the hammer. Never force the trigger or hammer to move.
