AMMUNITION WARNING Old, Hot-loaded and/or re-loaded ammunition may be dangerous. Because of the poor or nonexistent quality control standards among some companies or people who make reloaded ammunition and the dangers of overloads and underloads (squib loads) which may occur, we recommend that only good quality new factory ammunition be fired in our firearms.
Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree, cross a ditch or fence with a loaded gun. Always empty guns before entering a house, car, truck, boat, RV, camp or any building. When receiving a gun, always open the loading gate and check to make sure all chambers are unloaded. NEVER accept anyone’s word that a gun is “unloaded” or “empty”. You should immediately open the action and check to make sure it is unloaded. Be careful with ALJ- ammunition.
If a gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it pointed down range at the target for 30 seconds. Sometimes slow primer ignition will cause a “hang fire” and the cartridge will go off after a short pause. If it still fails to fire, keep muzzle pointed in safe direction and avoid exposure to the breech, as you attempt to unload your firearm. Never let water, snow, mud or other material enter the barrel. Always be sure the barrel is free of any obstruction.
HANDLING WARNING Do not load the revolver until you are ready to use it. NEVER CARRY ANY REVOLVER WITH THE HAMMER COCKED OR WITH THE TRIGGER HELD TO THE REAR. If the trigger is held to the rear, the gun can fire if the hammer strikes the transfer bar. Note that it need not be a deliberate effort to pull the trigger.
all the way back with a smooth stroke. Then controllinq the hammer very carefully with your thumb (WARNING THE GUN COULD FIRE IF THERE IS A LOADED ROUND IN THE CHAMBER UNDER THE HAMMER AND IF THE HAMMER WERE TO SLIP OUT FROM UNDER YOUR THUMB WHILE YOU WERE LOWERING IT) , squeeze the trigger and let the hammer down gently to the rest position. SAFETY POSITION HAMMER AT Always keep the hammer in the rest position except when you intend to shoot.
COCKING -- Place the fore portion of the thumb firmly on the hammer spur and pull the hammer fully to the rear until it stops. Then, permit the hammer to move very slightly forward until the trigger engages the hammer at full cock. FIRING -- Once the hammer has been cocked, pressure on the trigger will disengage the trigger from the hammer.
WARNING Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction! Never attempt to load or unload any firearm inside a vehicle, building or other confined space (except a properly constructed shooting range). Enclosed areas frequently offer no completely safe direction in which to point the firearm. If an accidental discharge occurs, there is great risk of injury or property damage.
1. Make certain that the revolver is pointing in a safe direction. I Figure A 2. Make certain both hands are dry and not impeded in any way --- gloves, bandage, cold, etc. 3. Grasp the revolver (if right handed) so that the thumb and forefinger of your left hand are firmly holding the frame, forward of the trigger guard. Thus, your left hand is in full control of the revolver. (See Figure A) 4.
3. Using the bore brush with powder solvent scrub the barrel and chambers to remove any powder and lead residue in the bore. Secondly, swab the bore and cylinder with cotton patches soaked in solvent. Always and lastly, swab with cotton patch with gun oil to coat and protect the bore and chambers from rust and corrosion. 4. Any powder fowling on the cylinder, firing wall, barrel, etc. can be easily cleaned with a brush and powder solvent. 5.
LUBRICATION WARNING Firing a revolver with oil, grease or any other material even partially obstructing the bore may result in damage to the revolver and injury to the shooter and those nearby. Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on ammunition. If the powder charge of a cartridge is affected by the lubricant, it may not be ignited, but the energy from the primer may be sufficient to push the bullet into the bore where it may become lodged.
