If you have never fired a revolver with Magnum
cartridges, be aware that .357 Magnum cartridges
have surprisingly more recoil and a firm grip is
necessary. A novice shooter should be aware that
the recoil of any handgun causes the muzzle of the
gun to flip upward. The shooter need not be
apprehensive but must be prepared.
FIRING WARNING
When firing any revolver, be sure that all spectators
are a safe distance to the rear of the shooter. When
fired, all revolvers have “side blast” or “cylinder blast” which is the discharge of hot
gas and particles through the clearance gap between the cylinder and the rear of
the barrel. These particles of lead, powder grains or lubricants are projected
broadly sideways at high speeds and thus, can injure any person who is too
close to the revolver. When firing any revolver, always be certain that nothing—
including either of your hands—is in the path of the hot gas and particles which
are discharged from the front and sides of the cylinder. When firing, do not rest
your revolver against your hand, legs or body where the muzzle or cylinder blast
can hit you. Always keep the side of the revolver away from you or bystanders.
Keep people behind and away from you while firing.
When shooting, full eye and ear protection is mandatory at all times. Shooters
and spectators must wear shooting glasses and hearing protection to prevent
eye injury and hearing loss. Vision loss and hearing impairment can occur with
only one moment of non-protection.
NEVER quick-draw a loaded revolver and never fan the hammer of this revolver.
Quick-draws and fanning are dangerous to you and others. They are also abusive
to the firearm and will void the warranty.
