WARNING
SAFETY AGAINST ACCIDENTAL FIRING FROM DROPPING
Like any other precision instrument of small size, this pistol can be damaged
or broken by unusual abuse, such as by severe impact on a hard surface. If
dropped from a height at which the pistol is normally used, the manual
safety provides strong resistance against accidental firing caused by such
impact. BUT THE MANUAL SAFETY MUST BE “ON” TO FULFILL ITS
FUNCTION. A user who neglects to apply the manual safety runs a greater
risk of accidental firing.
It is important to recognize that it is impossible to make any small firearm
absolutely foolproof against drop firing under all circumstances, so long as a
cartridge is loaded in the chamber. The RISK IS ELIMINATED by the simple
precaution of leaving the chamber EMPTY until you are ready to shoot.
In the event of a severe drop, the pistol should be checked by a competent
gunsmith to ensure that no internal damage has occurred which may impair
its safety or reliability.
