HANDLING YOUR REVOLVER

W A R N I N G

Never load your revolver until

you are ready to fire the revolver.

WARNING (HANDLING)

Do not load the revolver until you are ready to use it.

NEVER CARRY ANY REVOLVER WITH THE HAMMER COCKED OR WITH

THE TRIGGER HELD TO THE REAR. If the trigger is held to the rear, the gun

can fire if the hammer strikes the transfer bar. Note that it need not be a deliberate

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 Small 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 Small 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.
