ALL FIREARMS ARE DANGEROUS

PLEASE BE CAREFUL

We strongly advise that you familiarize yourself with all the mechanism of this,

or any gun, before putting any ammunition into it.

We provide reasonable care in the manufacture of
this pistol, but assume no responsibility for its care,

handling and use.
Never place your finger on the trigger unless you are

ready to shoot the pistol.

SAFETY: The Safety is conveniently located in the top of the left-hand
grip. By sliding the Safety forward as far as possible to the letter "F", the

pistol is in ''firing'' position. By sliding the Safety fully to the rear of the
pistol, the letter "S" will indicate the pistol is in "safe" position.
CAUTION: If you do not intend to shoot immediately, place the Safety
in the

LOADING THE PISTOL: After loading your Magazine, insert it into the

bottom of the pistol handle and push it into the pistol as far as possible.
When fully inserted, the Magazine Catch will hook over the bottom of
the Magazine and hold it in its proper position. Take the pistol in one hand
with a firm grip, making sure your fingers are not touching the trigger.
Point Your Pistol in a Safe Direction and with your other hand firmly
grasp the serrated portion of the Slide and pull it as far rearward as it will

go. Release the Slide allowing it to go forward of its own accord. This
procedure places the first cartridge into the chamber and the gun is ready
for firing. SUbsequent feeding and ejection operations are performed
automatically until the pistol is empty. NOTE: The safety must be in the

(F) position before the pistol can be cocked or loaded from the

"Fire"
Magazine supply. Magazine capacity-6 rounds. We recommend standard

type cartridges.

UNLOADING WITHOUT FIRING; Always point your pistol in a safe
direction and move the Safety to Safe ("S") position before attempting
to unload your pistol. To unload unfired cartridges move the Magazine
Catch rearward until the Magazine can be pulled from the pistol, After
the Magazine is removed, pull the Slide to the rear to remove the cartridge
from the Barrel chamber. As a safety precaution, always check the Barrel
chamber visually by holding the Slide back and looking into the Slide,
Chamber and Magazine cavities.

DISASSEMBLY: The pistol must be in unloaded, uncocked condition before take

down can be performed. To remove the Slide, use a blunt object to push the
take down button, located in the back end of the Slide, forward until it stops
(about 'AIinch). While holding the take down button depressed, gently lift the Slide
away from the Frame until it stops. Release the take down button gently as it is
springloaded. Hold the rear of the Slide up and push the Slide forward, off of the
end of the gun. This procedure removes the entire Slide Assembly and is sufficient
for normal cleaning and oiling. Clean the Barrel within a reasonable period of time

after shooting. After the powder residue has been removed, give the Barrel bore a
light protective coat of oil.

ASSEMBLY: Make sure the Recoil Spring is over the barrel. Place the Slide
Assembly over the Barrel and pull rearward until it can be dropped down

onto the Frame. Depress the take down button into the Slide far enough to allow

it to drop into its slot. Release the take down button after Slide is pushed down

onto the Frame. You should not be able to lift the rear of the Slide away

from the Frame if properly assembled. After the assembly is completed,

but before loading, manually operate the pistol to see that everything

functions properly.
