waRning - handling
never carry the pistol loaded with the safety lever in
the “f” (fiRe) position. if dropped or struck with the
safety off (“f”), the pistol may fire. Such a discharge can
occur with or without the trigger being directly struck or
touched. never rest a loaded pistol against any object
(wall, tree, fence, vehicle, etc.) because there is always
the possibility that the pistol will be jarred or slide from
its position and fall with sufficient force to discharge.
Keep the safety lever on “S” (Safe) unless actually firing.
