21. Always keep and store your firearm and ammunition in separate secure locations out
of reach and sight of children and unauthorized people.
22. Never alter any parts of your firearm; the safety and proper function of your firearm
could be seriously affected.
23. Always be aware that corrosion, use of damaged ammunition, dropping the firearml on
hard surfaces or other "rough treatment" can cause damage that is not necessarily
obvious at first sight. If something like this happens, have the firearm examined and
tested by a competent gunsmith.
RULES OF THE SAFE HANDLING TRITIUM SIGHTS
The tritium sights MEPROLIGHT type ML-17777 for CZ pistols involve a luminous front
sight (tritium light source of 0,565 GBq activity) and a luminous rear sight (2 tritium light
sources of 0,444 GBq activity) that are installed on the pistol by means of precision
dovetails. Tritium in the gaseous state (99% HT and 1% HTO) is enclosed in borosilicate
glass ampoules with a luminescent element and these ampoules are fixed by glue into the
metallic cap of the sight so that the handling and storage of the sights are not exposed to
any risks.
The third generation of sights retains all the advantageous features of the preceding
generation of MEPROLIGHT sights and several improvements are added:
- built-in shock absorber
- solid protective housing providing less sensitivity against rough manipulation
- immovable crystal window for better light output with additional protection against
a damage
- tolerance against longer immersion in currently used solvents and cleaning agents
- guaranteed continuous available light intensity for the period of 12 years
- MV sealing design (the only design tested and approved by Israeli armed forces)
protects the sights against an accidental damage, avoids the unwanted handling
of the light source, inhibits the penetration of dirt into the visual system and to hide
the light
- provides a finer transition for aiming during the day and the night
- simple installation (no modification of the arm is necessary)
- no added weight or size
- no maintenance
- no battery needed (no losses of the energy in cold weather)
