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.
