Correct Installation of Lock
For Ruger
®
P-Series Pistols Only
Use the Correct Lock: While the basic locking device is substantially similar
for all Ruger
®
firearms, due to the different shapes of the many Ruger
®
firearms, some firearms utilize different locking devices. The 5” x 40mm lock
is for use with P-SERIES Pistols. It is very important to use the correct
locking device!
To Install the Factory-Supplied Locking Device:
1. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your fingers outside the
trigger guard at all times!
2. Be sure the firearm is completely unloaded and contains no cartridges or
cartridge cases!
3. Open the action completely. Use the slide stop to keep the action open dur-
ing installation of the locking device.
4. Remove the magazine from your pistol and apply the locking device by
placing the shackle of the lock into your pistol as shown below.
5. Close the lock by pressing the shackle into the body of the lock (the part
that receives the key) as tightly together as possible. The lock has bumpers
and the shackle is coated with a non-marring material that will not harm
the metal finish of your firearm; be careful not to dent the frame or grip
panels of the pistol.
6. Once the lock is securely closed, remove the key and pull firmly on the
lock to test the connection and be sure it is locked. Do not leave or store
your firearm with the key in the lock! Store your locked unloaded firearm
and the key in secure, separate locations, away from ammunition, children,
or unauthorized adults.
