READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS AND

INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE FIRING THE REVOLVER.

TO FIRE THE REVOLVER:

In order to fire the revolver, the hammer must be moved from the rest position or

from the second notch position to the fully cocked position. After the hammer is

fully cocked (see COCKING below), you must pull (squeeze) the trigger. The

firearm will fire one shot. The sequence of cocking the hammer and pulling the

trigger must take place to fire each shot. When the trigger is pulled back, the

transfer bar moves up into firing position and the hammer is released so that a

cartridge is fired.

1) Point the muzzle in a safe direction with your

finger outside the trigger guard. See Figure 26.

2) COCKING: Place the fore portion of the thumb

firmly on the hammer spur and pull the hammer

fully to the rear until it stops. Then permit the

hammer to move very slightly forward until the

trigger engages the hammer at full cock. See

Figure 27.

W A R N I N G !

When cocking the hammer, have a firm hold on the

grip with the shooting hand. DO NOT TOUCH THE

TRIGGER WHILE COCKING THE HAMMER.

TOUCH THE TRIGGER ONLY WHEN YOU ARE

READY TO FIRE.

3) FIRING: Once the hammer has been cocked,

pressure on the trigger will disengage the trigger

from the hammer. The hammer will fall forward

against the transfer bar. The transfer bar in turn

strikes the firing pin and the firing pin strikes the

loaded cartridge in the chamber, causing the

discharge of a bullet. See Figure 28.
