INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Before proceeding to use this weapon, a word ofcaution is in order. This pistol is as safe to handleand use as we can make it, but there is no fool.proof firearm. Be sure that the muzzle is pointingin a safe direction at all times, whether the gunis loaded or not. Make safe gun handling a habit.

Place a cartridge on theforward end of the FOLLOWER, press down andto the rear with the cartridge head or base towardthe rear or flat edge of the MAGAZINE. Suc-ceeding cartridges are loaded in the same manner,one on top of another.
Place MANUAL SAFETY in the lower or"safe" position. Insert MAGAZINE in butt untilengaged with MAGAZINE CATCH. Simply pressmagazine into place - do not drive in forcibly,as this practice may in time cause distortion ofmagazine lips and resultant malfunctions. DrawSLIDE all of the way to the rear and release. WithHAMMER down and SAFETY in "safe" position,the first shot may be discharged by simply placingthe MANUAL SAFETY in the upper or "fire"position and pulling the TRIGGER. The DOUBLEACTION FEATURE cocks and releases theHAMMER in one operation as in firing a doubleaction revolver. Subsequent shots may be fired asin traditional automatic pistols.
