WARNING **YOU RISK PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH BY HANDLING THIS FIREARM** Before handling any firearm, make sure you know the safety procedures and most importantly, keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. Before handling this firearm, read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual. Always keep this manual with the firearm. If you lend, give or sell this firearm, be sure the manual goes with it.
Type Of Ammunition To Be Used It is suggested that high quality commercially manufactured ammunition be used in this firearm. Avoid military surplus or old ammunition as it may not fire with sufficient force to expel the projectile from the barrel. The use of reloaded, Super-Vel, +P, high pressure or hand-loaded ammunition can be dangerous and will void the warranty.
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE Get competent firearms instruction in safe handling before using this firearm. Please ask your dealer for names of qualified instructors near you. All guns are extremely dangerous if carelessly handled or used. Remember that the firearm user is the primary “safety” and that reliance on any mechanical safety device should never replace safe handling procedures.
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE Never leave a gun unattended or where it could fall. Store guns and ammunition separately beyond the reach of children. Make sure that they are properly secured so untrained individuals and children will be denied access to your guns and ammunition. Test your gun’s operation and safeties only at a shooting range while the firearm is pointed in a safe direction. Know your target and what is beyond.
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE for hearing and sight loss and they should avoid distracting those shooting their firearms. Never carry a handgun in your pocket, purse or tucked in a belt or waistband. Use a revolver case or a proper holster with a safety flap or strap. Never drop your gun. If you do drop it, unload it and check it for proper function before using it again. Do NOT alter or modify your gun.
Use the Security Lock Provided with your Revolver This revolver comes with a security lock to assist in protecting against unauthorized use. See Figure 1. The revolver must be unloaded when the security lock is in place on the revolver. WARNING: Using the security lock cannot substitute for securing your firearm and ammunition in separate, locked locations. Remove the provided security lock and block from its package. See Figure 1. Method 1 1) Locate the hole on the center bottom of the trigger guard.
American Armory Corp., 3855 North U.S. Highway 1, Cocoa, Florida 32926 (321) 639-4842. W A R N I N G (POTENTIAL OBSTRUCTIONS) BEFORE LOADING or firing a revolver, examine the bore and the firing chamber to be certain they are clean and free of any obstruction. Even a heavy coat of oil, grease, snow or water may result in damage to the firearm and injury to the shooter and/or persons near the firearm. A misfire or unusual sound upon firing is a signal to cease firing and to examine the chamber and bore.
W A R N I N G (Mechanical Malfunctions) STOP SHOOTING IMMEDIATELY AND UNLOAD YOUR FIREARM if your firearm develops: a mechanical malfunction; binding or stoppage; spitting powder/gas; a punctured cartridge primer; a bulged or ruptured cartridge case; or a sound on firing does not sound quite right. Do NOT try one more shot but unload your firearm and take it and the ammunition to a qualified gunsmith or send the firearm back to European American Armory Corp. for examination.
Ejector Rod: The ejector rod is pushed while unloading the revolver in order to eject any cartridges and/or empty casings from the cylinder chambers. See Figure 9. Figure 9 Figure 10 Hammer: The hammer is located behind the cylinder. See Figure 10. When the trigger is pulled (and the hammer is either down for double action firing or cocked for single action firing), the hammer falls to strike the firing pin and discharge the revolver. Trigger: The trigger is located in the trigger guard. See Figure 11.

WARNING! The revolver is now loaded and ready to fire. Be extremely CAREFUL. WARNING! NEVER snap the cylinder closed by twisting your wrist or slam it into the frame forcefully in any way.
