SAFETY PROCEDURES

1. We recommend that you get competent firearms instruction in safe handling
before using this firearm. Please ask your dealer. All guns are extremely
dangerous if carelessly handled or used. Remember that the firearm user is
the primary “safety” and to depend on any mechanical devices is to be only
half safe.

2.

THIS FIREARM WILL FIRE IF A ROUND (CARTRIDGE) IS IN THE

FIRING CHAMBER, THE HAMMER IS FULLY COCKED AND THE
TRIGGER IS PULLED.

3. DO NOT LOAD THIS REVOLVER UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THIS
REVOLVER OPERATES. KEEP this revolver unloaded at all times except

when ready to fire and you are sure of your target.

4. ALWAYS carry this revolver in its case and unloaded.

5. NEVER point this revolver at anything that is not your intended target even if
this revolver is unloaded. When loading, cleaning, unloading or handling,
always be sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction and always keep your
finger off the trigger.

3

6. NEVER assume any gun is unloaded. Before handling, check to make sure all
the firing chambers are empty. See unloading Instructions and then unload
any ammunition. Make sure you know that this or any firearm is fully unloaded
before displaying or handling it. When handling any firearm, keep your fingers
away from the trigger at all times until you intend to fire.

7. WARNING: The actual firearm does not contain any lead; however, it does fire
ammunition containing lead or lead compounds known to the State of Califor-

nia to cause cancer, birth defects and/or reproductive toxicity. Those who
discharge a firearm, stand near someone who discharges a firearm or cleans
firearms are hereby warned of the dangers presented by lead and lead
compounds and should take protective health measures. Avoid exposure to

lead while handling and wash your hands after contact. Proper air ventilation

is absolutely necessary when shooting indoors.

AMMUNITION WARNING

Old, Hot-loaded and/or re-loaded ammunition may be dangerous. Because of the
poor or nonexistent quality control standards among some companies or people

who make reloaded ammunition and the dangers of overloads and underloads

(squib loads) which may occur, we recommend that only good quality new factory
ammunition be fired in our firearms. [If you prepare your own handloads, do NOT
exceed recommended pressures in line with those generated by standard factory
loads as manufactured by Remington, Winchester, Federal, PMC or other repu-

table companies.] Do NOT use +P Ammo or High Velocity High Pressure

Ammunition (factory or handloaded). Old ammunition may not fire with sufficient

force to expel the projectile from the barrel.

WARNINGS -- READING THESE SAFETY RULES WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE OR
THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

Get instructions from a competent firearms instructor before using this or any
firearm. Learn from a professional how to handle, load, unload, operate, fire and
care for your gun.

NEVER PLAY with your firearm. It is not a toy and can be a very dangerous

weapon that can cause serious personal injury or death.
Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Treat every gun as if it is

loaded...all

person or anything you do not intend to shoot. Always keep your gun unloaded
until ready to use and make sure that it is unloaded before cleaning.

Keep your finger OFF the trigger until you are actually aiming at the target and
ready to shoot. Learn to rest your finger outside of the trigger guard.

Never rely on a gun’s “safety” to protect you from unsafe gun handling. A safety
is only a mechanical device, not a substitute for common sense and gun safety
procedures.

Never leave a gun unattended or where it could fall and fire.

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 ammo.
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. Ask yourself what your bullet will

hll

if it
misses the target or passes through the intended target. Remember, a fired bullet
can travel over a mile (including a ricochet) and

is

capable of going through walls.

Guns and alcohol or drugs do not mix. Don’t take any alcoholic beverages and/
or drugs before or during shooting activities.

Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree, cross a ditch or
fence with a loaded gun.

Always empty guns before entering a house, car, truck, boat,

RV,

camp or any

building.
When receiving a gun, always check to make sure all chambers are unloaded.
NEVER accept anyone’s word that a gun is “unloaded” or “empty”. You should

immediately open the action and check to make sure it is unloaded.
Be careful with ALL ammunition. Even ‘blank” cartridges are deadly at

close

range due to the muzzle blast. Make sure your ammunition is in new and in good
clean condition. Do NOT oil or grease ammo as this may damage the cartridge
primer. Do NOT tamper with or alter the standard factory ammunition.

Keep firearms unloaded when not actually in use. Load the gun only when on the
range preparing to fire and unload it before leaving the range.

Never put your hand over the muzzle of a gun.

ALWAYS WEAR protective shooting glasses and hearing protection when using
firearms.

Spectators should be at least

10

feet behind and away from the shooter while the
shooter is loading, shooting and unloading. Spectators should wear protection
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 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.
