IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE Children are attracted to and can operate firearms which can cause severe injuries or death. Prevent child access by always keeping guns locked away and unloaded when not in use. If you keep a loaded firearm where a child obtains and improperly uses it, you may be fined or sent to prison. Firearm Safety Depends on You A gun is only as safe as the person operating it. You can never be overly careful when handling a firearm.
PAGE 3
Commandment #3 Don’t Completely Rely on Your Gun’s Safety Treat every gun as though it could fire at any time, even if you are not applying pressure to the trigger. The “safety” on a firearm is a mechanical device which, like any such device, can become inoperable at the worst possible time and fail to function. By mistake, you may think the safety is “ON” when it actually is not. Or you may think your gun is unloaded when there is actually a round of ammunition in it.
PAGE 4
Commandment #6 If Your Gun Fails to Fire When the Trigger Is Pulled, Handle With Care If a cartridge or shell does not fire when the trigger is pulled, follow Commandment #1 and keep the firearm’s muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Keep the muzzle down range with the action closed and wait at least 30 seconds (to ensure that the ammunition is not delayed in firing) before carefully opening the action, unloading the firearm and safely disposing of the ammunition.

operating firearms varies with the mechanical characteristics of each gun. Thus, you should never handle any firearm until you become familiar with the safe handling, loading, unloading and carrying procedures for that particular firearm, as well as the rules for safe gun handling in general.

Safety Features CZ pistols incorporate several positive safety devices, which, if properly employed, can minimize the danger of accidental firing. Triggerguard The triggerguard is a semi-circular part of the frame which encircles the trigger. It serves to decrease the likelihood of accidental contact with the trigger during use and/or accidental trigger pull. Safety Stop On Hammer The safety stop is a flat shelf-like surface on the hammer.
