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.
