do noT ToucH THe Trigger unTil you are acTually ready To fire THe PiSTol.
Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your finger away from the trigger when
cocking any firearm.
never fire any firearm with your finger, hand, face, or other part of your body over or adjacent
to the ejection port, or in any position where you may be struck by reciprocating movement of
the breech. Both the ejection of empty cartridge cases and the movement of the breech are
part of the normal operating cycle of firearms, and pose no safety hazard to the shooter if the
firearm is held in a normal grip and fired at arm’s length.
never allow other persons to stand beside you where they might be struck by an ejected
cartridge case. The case is hot, and may be ejected with sufficient force to cause a burn,
cut, or other injury. Wear safety glasses to protect eyes. Make certain there is a clear,
unobstructed path for safe ejection of the fired case. remember, the case may bounce off a
hard object nearby and strike you or someone else.
