CAUTIONS:

• ALWAYS handle your weapon as if it were loaded, so that you never fire it accidentally when you think it is unloaded.
   
• NEVER point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot so if it fires accidentally, injury, death or damage to property will be prevented.
   
• NEVER take anyone's word that a gun is unloaded; check for yourself with finger off the trigger and gun pointed in a safe direction, so that you never fire the gun accidentally when you think it is unloaded.
   
• ALWAYS be sure barrel and action are clear of obstructions. Clean a fouled weapon immediately so that it will function correctly and safely.
   
• NEVER squeeze the trigger or put your finger in the trigger guard until you are aiming at a target and ready to shoot. This will prevent you from firing the weapon when it is pointing in an unsafe direction.
   
• NEVER put your finger in the trigger while cocking.
   
• ALWAYS be absolutely sure of your target and the area behind it before you squeeze the trigger. A bullet could travel through or past your target tip up to 1 ˝ miles…if in doubt, don't shoot.
   
• NEVER leave a loaded weapon unattended, someone, especially a child, may fire it and cause injury, death or damage to property.
   
• NEVER use your weapon if it fails to function properly, and never force a jammed action, as a round may explode causing serious injury, possible death or severe damage to your pistol.
   
• NEVER leave your weapon cocked, ready to fire, as this condition is extremely dangerous, and the weapon could easily lie accidentally discharged, causing injury, death or damage to property.
   
• NEVER leave the magazine partially in the handle. The magazine should either be completely inserted in the handle, with the magazine in its proper position or completely removed.
