SECTION 3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS We want you to enjoy shooting your Colt pistol, but we want you to enjoy it safely. You may be an experienced safe shooter already familiar with the procedures in this instruction manual, or you may never have handled a gun before. Either way we urge you to READ THIS ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFUllY. YOU MUST FOllOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.
3. NEVER TAKE ANYONE'S WORD THAT A GUN IS UNLOADED: check for yourself with fingers off the trigger and gun pointed in a safe direction, so that you never fire the gun accidentally when you think it is unloaded. 4. ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR PISTOL IS NOT LOADED AND SLIDE IS LATCHED OPEN BEFORE LAYING IT DOWN, OR HANDING IT TO ANOTHER PERSON, so that it cannot be fired when it is unsafe to do so. 5.
~ 9. ALWAYS INSTRUCT CHILDREN TO RESPECT FIREARMS. If you teach your children to shoot, teach them or get them trained by a qualified instructor to treat and use the pistol properly, and always supervise them closely. Always stress safety so that your children will not fire the pistol when it is unsafe to do so. RANGE CAUTIONS 10. ALWAYS BE SURE YOUR BACKSTOP IS ADEQUATE to stop and contain bullets before beginning target practice so that you do not hit anything outside the range shooting area.
& I LOADING CAUTIONS I 13. ALWAYS BE SURE BARREL BORE, CHAMBER AND ACTION ARE CLEAN AND CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS. Clean a fouled pistol immediately so that it will function correctly and safely. 14. ALWAYS USE ONLY CLEAN, DRY, ORIGINAL HIGH QUALITY COMMERCIALLY MANUFACTURED AMMUNITION IN GOOD CONDITION WHICH IS APPROPRIATE TO THE CALIBER OF YOUR PISTOL. (See Table on inside front cover). Gun and ammunition manufacturers design their products within exacting engineering safety limits.
17. ALWAYS WEAR AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR EAR PROTECTION WHEN SHOOTING, especially on a range. Without ear protection, the noise of even one shot from your pistol, and other guns close to you, could leave a "ringing" in the ears for some time after firing, while the cumulative long term effect could be permanent hearing loss. 18. ALWAYS WEAR AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR PROTECTIVE SHOOTING GLASSES.
22. ALWAYS BE ABSOLUTELY SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND THE AREA BEHIND IT BEFORE YOU SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER. A bullet could travel through or past your target up to 1% miles. . . if in doubt, don't shoot. THINK! What will you HIT if you MISS the target? 23. NEVER SHOOT AT A HARD SURFACE SUCH AS ROCK, OR A LIQUID SURFACE SUCH AS WATER. A bullet may ricochet and travel in any direction to strike you, or an object you cannot see, causing injury, death, or damage to property. 24.
& position other than forward on an empty chamber, to eliminate risk of accidental discharge. When hunting, hold your pistol so that you can always control the direction of the muzzle. MALFUNCTION CAUTIONS 28. FAILURE TO FIRE: ALWAYS HOLD PISTOL, KEEPING IT POINTED TOWARD THE TARGET OR A SAFE OPEN AREA AND WAIT 30 SECONDS when pistol fails to fire. If a hangfire (slow ignition) has occurred, round will fire within 30 seconds.
& CLEANING AND STORAGE CAUTIONS 30. ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR PISTOL IS NOT LOADED BEFORE CLEANING, STORING, TRAVELING, LAYING IT DOWN, OR HANDING IT TO ANOTHER PERSON, so that it cannot be fired when it is unsafe to do so. I I 31. ALWAYS KEEP AND STORE YOUR PISTOL AND AMMUNITION IN SEPA. RATE LOCKED RECEPTACLES OUT OF REACH AND SIGHT OF CHILDREN AND UNTRAINED PEOPLE, to minimize the risk of pistol and ammunition being easily available for loading and firing. & I GUN ABUSE CAUTION I 32.
SAFETY FEATURES Colt MK IV/Series 80 and 90 semi-automatic pistols incorporate several positive safety devices which, if properly employed, can minimize the danger of accidental firing. These safety devices are described on the following pages. Trigger Guard The Trigger Guard is a metal loop around the trigger to protect it from damage and to help prevent accidental discharge. Slide Lock Safety The Slide Lock Safety is located on the left rear of the pistol just below the slide.
until it fully engages slide lock notch (See Figure 2). When the Slide Lock Safety is down, the sear is free to release the hammer to fire the pistol when it is properly gripped and the trigger is squeezed. HAMME $PUR R FIGURE 2-SLIDE LOCK SAFETY Grip Safety The Grip Safety is located on the upper rear part of the receiver (See Figure 1). The Grip Safety is automatically applied by spring action to prevent rearward travel of trigger unless pistol grip is firmly and properly grasped.
Safety Stop on Hammer The Safety Stop is a flat, shelf-like surface on the hammer which functions as an automatic safety device. It will engage the sear in the unlikely event of primary sear notch failure. This will prevent the hammer from falling fully forward unintentionally and will insure against uncontrolled automatic fire.
Disconnector * This safety device prevents a round being fired before it is in the chamber with slide and barrel locked. When slide is not fully forward the Disconnector is depressed; its lower part disengages the sear, so that the hammer cannot be released if the trigger is squeezed. However, when slide and barrel are locked, a spring pushes the Disconnector up into a recess in the slide; this links trigger and sear so that the pistol can be fired by squeezing the trigger.
Firing A ili Pin Lock The Firing Pin Lock engages the firing pin to prevent its movement until the trigger is squeezed. Housed in the slide, the Firing Pin Lock is spring loaded into engagement with the firing pin to prevent it striking the cartridge primer. Squeezing the trigger disengages the Firing Pin Lock before the sear releases the hammer to strike the firing pin and discharge the pistol.
SECTION , 4' .., FUNCTION A Colt MK IV/Series 80 and 90 semi-automatic pistol is ready to fire when a loaded magazine is inserted into the pistol, the slide pulled back to cock hammer, and released to travel forward and feed a round from the magazine into the chamber. Final forward slide movement locks barrel and slide together and deactivates disconnector. When the pistol is grasped, the grip safety is released so that trigger may now be squeezed.
pressure is reduced to a safe level. Rearward slide travel depresses the disconnector, carries spent cartridge rearward on extractor until base of cartridge is struck by ejector to propel it through ejection port. Slide movement continues under momentum to fully cock the hammer. If last round has been fired, the magazine follower will activate the slide stop to hold slide to rear, but if a round remains in magazine, the slide will move forward to feed and lock the next round in the chamber.
emmImJI &CAUTION: TO MINIMIZE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL DISCHARGE, LOAD LIVE AMMUNITION INTO PISTOL ONLY WHEN YOU INTEND TO SHOOT, AND THEN KEEP AN EMPTY CHAMBER UNDER THE HAMMER. & CAUTION: ALWAYS EXERCISE EXTREME CARE TO KEEP MUZZLE POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION, WELL CLEAR OF YOUR BODY, particularly when loading and unloading. *I ~ I To Load A Magazine 1.

2. Remove magazine from pistol. Place your hand under magazine to prevent it from falling. Press magazine catch (located on left of pistol behind trigger guard) to drop the magazine out of the magazine well. (See Figure 4). SERRATED FINGER GRIPS 3. Hold pistol by stock with one hand. Keep other hand clear of ejection port and grasp serrated finger grips on both sides of slide. Pull slide back slightly and LOOK IN CHAMBER TO ENSURE IT IS EMPTY; allow slide to return forward.
IMPORTANT: Do not strike base of magazine to drive it home-just push it firmly into pistol. Otherwise, you could damage magazine and injure your hand. 5. When you are ready to shoot. grip the slide as described in Step 3 and pull it fully rearward to cock the hammer. Release slide to feed a round from the magazine into the chamber. THE PISTOL IS NOW LOADED, COCKED AND READY TO FIRE. A . ili 6. Apply slide lock safety by pushing it up to prevent the hammer falling forward if trigger is moved.
~ NOTE: This pistol may be carried in anyone of the following three modes according to your needs: Mode 1: - & MAGAZINE EMPTY, CHAMBER EMPTY. Pistol cannot be discharged. Use Mode 1 for storage, transporting, cleaning, repair, demonstrating and dry practice. Mode 2: - MAGAZINE LOADED, CHAMBER EMPTY, HAMMER DOWN. - Pistol cannot be fired until slide is cycled and trigger is squeezed. - Use Mode 2 when CARRYING THE PISTOL READY FOR USE. Mode 3: - MAGAZINE LOADED, CHAMBER LOADED, HAMMER COCKED, SAFETY ON.
UNLOADING CAUTION: ALWAYS UNLOAD YOUR PISTOL IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE AND BEFORE CLEANING AND STORAGE to minimize the risk of accidental discharge. I To Unload I 1. Be sure you are familiar with Safety Instructions in Section 3. Keep pistol pointing in a safe direction, do not touch trigger and always keep hands away from muzzle and ejection port. 2. Place hand under magazine to prevent it from falling and press magazine catch to release and eject magazine.
5. Keep pistol pointing in a safe direction, allow slide to return forward on empty chamber and squeeze the trigger to allow hammer to fall forward.

movement. If you try to change direction with brush in barrel, the brush will stick. 6. Repeat steps 3 and 4. 7. Clean rear face of barrel and face of slide, using a small toothbrush. On Officer's ACP models, also clean the lug on recoil spring plug and its locating slot in lower part of the receiver. (See Figure 8). 8. Lightly moisten a flannel patch with gun oil and pass it once through barrel, leaving a thin film of oil on the inside surface.
11. Again wipe external surfaces with oil moistened patch to remove any finger prints. (Finger moisture, if left, could start corrosion process). (See NOTE on cold weather lubrication). 12. Remove any gun cleaning solution and oil from the stock. It is advisable to clean the magazine(s) whenever the pistol is cleaned. To do so, remove the magazine follower and spring and clean all components, taking care to remove carbon deposits from the lips of the magazine and the magazine follower.
To assemble this magazine, insert the follower and spring through the bottom of the magazine. Be sure that the top coil of the spring is installed towards the front of the magazine. Compress the spring and slide the base lock under the two tabs on the bottom of the magazine. Depress the base lock and slide the base under the two tabs and towards the rear of the magazine. Carefully align the protrusion on the base lock with the hole in the base until the base lock sticks out through the hole.
