Read and understand this entire manual and its safety warnings before
firing the firearm.
MECHANICAL SAFETY
The safety button is located at the front of the trigger guard (Fig. 3) and must be
manually moved to the desired position by the shooter. The safety mechanism
cannot be engaged unless the hammer is cocked.
The safety is set in the “ON” (SAFE) position by pushing the button from
the left side (side opposite the ejection port) so that it moves all the way
to the right. The button must always be pushed fully to the right until it
moves no further to be in the “ON” (SAFE) position.
Remember, a firearmʼs manual safety is a mechanical device which can
never replace safe firearm handling practices.
Because any mechanical device can fail, never rely on any mechanism
or safety device to prevent the dangers of careless handling or pointing
a firearm in an unsafe direction.
Moving the safety button fully to the left will put the safety in the “OFF” (FIRE)
position. The safety should be in the “ON” (SAFE) position until you are on tar-
get and have decided to fire.
The safety button is designed to function only as described above and
should not be reversed. Do not attempt to remove or reverse the button.
Doing so will result in an unsafe condition which can cause serious injury
or death.
The safety button is marked with a red ring for training purposes as a reminder
that moving it to the left with red showing is the “FIRE” position, moving it all the
way to the right with red not showing is the “SAFE” position. The safety button can
only be engaged when the hammer is cocked.
