DESCRIPTION, HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE

15. NEVER FIRE YOUR WEAPON NEAR AN ANIMAL UNLESS IT IS TRAINED
TO ACCEPT THE NOISE; an animal’s startled reaction could injure it or cause
an accident.
16. NEVER USE YOUR WEAPON IF IT FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY, AND
NEVER FORCE A JAMMED ACTION, AS A ROUND MAY EXPLODE CAUS-
ING SEVERE DAMAGE TO YOUR WEAPON, SERIOUS INJURY OR POSSIBLE
DEATH.
17. DURING SHOOTING ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE
BARREL AND EXTERNAL MOVING PARTS OF THE WEAPON SINCE THEY
CAN BE HURT.
18. NEVER SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER OR PUT YOUR FINGER IN THE TRIGGER
GUARD UNTIL YOU ARE AIMING AT A TARGET AND READY TO SHOOT. This
will prevent you from ring the pistol when it is pointing in an unsafe
direction.
19. IN CASE OF MISFIRE: When the weapon fails to re, keep holding it
pointed toward the target or a safe open area and wait 60 seconds. If a
hang re (slow ignition) has occurred, round will re within 60 seconds. If
round does not re, remove magazine, eject round, and examine primer.
If ring pin indent on primer is light, o center, or non-existent, have the
pistol examined by a competent gunsmith. If ring pin indent on primer
appears normal (in comparison with similar previously red rounds) as-
sume faulty ammunition. Segregate misred round from other live am-
munition and empty cases, reload and carry on ring.
20. NEVER LEAVE YOUR WEAPON READY TO FIRE, SINCE THIS POSITION IS
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE
CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
21. KEEP THE WEAPON POINTING TOWARDS THE BACKSTOP WHEN LOAD-
ING, FIRING AND UNLOADING, TO ELIMINATE THE RISK OF INJURY, DEATH
OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
22. NEVER LEAVE A LOADED WEAPON UNATTENDED. There is always a
chance that someone will use it and cause injury, death or damage to
property.
23. NEVER INDULGE IN HORSEPLAY WHILE HOLDING YOUR WEAPON AS
IT MAY BE ACCIDENTALLY DISCHARGED.
