2. ALWAYS refer to the gun manufacturer's recommendations and instructions
regarding whether to carry your gun in a ready-to-fire condition.
3. ALWAYS use care when holstering any handgun to avoid unintentional cocking
of the firearm. After holstering, check to make sure that the handgun is not in a
cocked condition.
4. ALWAYS check to make sure that the holster does not interfere with any safety
features, controls, sights, or magazine release devices of the gun you plan to
carry in it.
5. ALWAYS engage the safety before holstering the pistol and DO NOT disengage
it until after the weapon has been drawn and is clear of the holster. DO NOT carry
a gun in this condition unless you have been specifically trained in the proper and
safe procedure for such use.
6. ALWAYS check the holster for wear or damage before each use. This is
important to assure that the holster will continue to function as designed and in-
tended. DO NOT use this holster if wear, damage, or other condition of the
holster defeats or interferes with any safety or design function of the holster or
the gun.
7. ALWAYS be careful when using the holster and any firearm. Practice drawing
and holstering the firearm so that you will be prepared if you encounter a
potentially dangerous situation.
8. ALWAYS MAKE SURE that the firearm is secured in the holster with the
retention strap with thumb break or tension adjustment device in place.
9. ALWAYS be sure that any retention strap is positioned to prevent the firearm
from accidentally falling out of the holster.
10. ALWAYS be diligent and alert when using this holster on duty as the primary
responsibility for weapon retention lies not with the holster but with the individual
employing the holster.
11. DO NOT adapt or change the CQC Carbon Fiber Holster ® .
12. DO NOT touch the hammer of the firearm when drawing or replacing
the firearm.
13. DO NOT draw or return the gun to the holster with your finger on the trigger.
14. DO NOT use the holster if it does not appear to properly fit your firearm even if
your firearm is listed as one for which this holster has been designed to fit.
