2 Safety Regulations
•
Never use the pistol under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, while ill or suffering other such difficulties.
These conditions can impair your powers of judgment
and reflexes.
•
Always think of the pistol as being loaded and with
the safety off until you have established the opposite
through the unloading procedure (see section 5.8).
•
Always keep the muzzle of the pistol pointed in a safe
direction. A safe direction is defined as towards an
area where there are no people, other life forms or
other people’s property.
•
Never point the pistol at doors, panes of glass, walls,
concrete, stone or flat surfaces (water included).
A bullet can penetrate such surfaces or be ricocheted
in an unsafe direction.
•
Never aim at yourself or other life forms.
•
Never rely on safety mechanisms alone. The safety
mechanisms are not a substitute for careful and correct
handling of the pistol.
•
Always handle your pistol as if the safety mechanisms
were not functioning properly. The best safety precau-
tion is a correct, well-trained and secure handling of
the pistol.
•
Never shoot with a pistol that has been penetrated by
water, sand, dirt or other foreign matter.
•
Never decock the hammer by restraining the hammer
and pulling the trigger at the same time.
•
Never let a loaded pistol out of your hand.
•
Always unload the pistol immediately after firing,
before putting the pistol away, putting it into a holster
or handing it to another authorized person.
•
Never give the pistol to a person who has not tho-
roughly familiarized himself or herself with the safety
regulations and handling of the pistol by reading the
corresponding instructions.
•
Never leave the pistol lying unattended, and protect
the pistol from unauthorized access.
•
Never store the pistol loaded, but rather remove the
magazine and ensure that there is no round in the
barrel chamber by following the unloading procedure
(see section 5.8).
•
Always keep the pistol and the ammunition in different
places and ensure that neither can be obtained by
unauthorized persons or children.
In the individual sections of these instructions, the
following safety indications alert you to various dangers:
