WARNING – LOADED PISTOL
THE PISTOL IS NOW LOADED AND READY TO FIRE.
Always make sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction! Never attempt to
load or unload any firearm inside a vehicle,building, or other confined space
(except a properly constructed shooting range). Enclosed areas frequently
offer no completely safe direction to point the firearm; if an accidental
discharge occurs, there is great risk of bodily injury or property damage.
Before loading, always clean all grease and oil from the bore and chamber,
and check to be certain that no obstruction is in the barrel. Any foreign matter
in the barrel could result in a bulged or burst barrel or other damage to the
firearm, and could cause serious injury to the shooter or to others.
WARNING – MALFUNCTION
IF, WHILE SHOOTING, YOUR FIREARM DEVELOPS A MECHANICAL
MALFUNCTION OR BINDING, OR “SPITS” POWDER/GAS, OR IF A CARTRIDGE
PRIMER IS PUNCTURED, OR A CARTRIDGE CASE IS BULGED OR RUPTURED, OR
IF THE REPORT ON FIRING DOES NOT SOUND QUITE RIGHT, STOP SHOOTING
IMMEDIATELY! IT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO CONTINUE. UNLOAD THE
FIREARM – DO NOT TRY “ONE MORE SHOT.” TAKE THE FIREARM AND THE
AMMUNITION TO A GUNSMITH FOR EXAMINATION.
