4. FIREARM SAFETY INFORMATION
FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
As a firearm owner, you accept a set of demanding responsibilities. How
seriously you take these responsibilities can be the difference between life
and death.
There is no excuse for careless or abusive handling of any firearm. At all
times handle this firearm and all other firearms with intense respect for
their power and potential danger.
Please read and understand all of the cautions, warnings, notices, proper
handling procedures and instructions outlined in this owner’s manual
before using your new firearm.
1 ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE OF YOUR FIREARM
POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION EVEN THOUGH YOU
ARE CERTAIN IT IS UNLOADED.
Never point any firearm at anything you do not intend to shoot.
Be extremely alert and aware of all persons and property within
the range of your ammunition.
2 NEVER RELY TOTALLY ON YOUR FIREARM’S
MECHANICAL “SAFETY” DEVICES. LIKE ANY
MECHANICAL DEVICE, A “SAFETY” CAN SOMETIMES
FAIL; IT CAN BE JARRED OR INADVERTENTLY
MANIPULATED INTO AN UNSAFE CONDITION.
The word “safety” describes a firearm’s trigger block mechanism,
sear block mechanism, hammer block mechanism or firing pin block
mechanism. Mechanical “safeties” are designed to place your firearm
in a safer status, and no guarantee can be made that the firearm will
not fire even if the “safety” is in the on safe position. Mechanical
“safeties” merely aid safe gun handling and are no excuse for pointing
your firearm’s muzzle in an unsafe direction. See Section 8 for
instructions on the operation of this firearm’s “safety.”

RECKLESS MANNER THE FNP-45 CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.
