SAFETY
SAFETY IS YOUR
NUMBER ONE
RESPONSIBILITY!!!!
WARNING: YOU MUST FOLLOW
ALL OF THESE SAFETY RULES TO
ENSURE THE SAFE USE OF YOUR
FIREARM
•
Safe gun handling is YOUR personal
responsibility at all times.
Firearms are dangerous
and can cause serious injury and death if they are
misused or used inappropriately. Safety must be the
prime consideration of anyone who owns or handles
firearms.
•
You are responsible for the firearm at all times.
In owning a firearm, you must undertake full-time
responsibility for your firearm’s safety and security.
You must protect yourself and all others against
injury or death from misuse of the firearm.
•
Safe storage is your responsibility.
In particular,
you must secure firearms safely from children and
unauthorized users. A lock has been provided for
your use with this firearm. A lock is not a substitute
for safe and secure storage as defined in the “Safe
Storage and Transportation” section of this manual.
•
Accidents are the result of violating the rules of
safe gun handling and common sense.
•
For your safety and the safety of others, never
rely on mechanical features alone.
Only your
safe gun-handling habits will ensure the safe use of
your firearm. This is your responsibility.
• Never keep ammunition in the same location as
the handgun.
Store in a separate and secure
place.
•
READ and UNDERSTAND these instructions
before using your firearm.

BASIC FIREARM
SAFETY RULES
At home, in the field, at the range, or anywhere, the first
concern of every firearm owner should be safety. Apply the fol-
lowing safety rules in every situation, with any kind of firearm.
WARNING!
THE FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE BASIC
FIREARM SAFETY RULES MAY RESULT IN AN
UNINTENDED DISCHARGE WHICH COULD CAUSE
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
•
BEFORE HANDLING ANY FIREARM,
UNDERSTAND ITS OPERATION.
Not all firearms
are the same. Familiarize yourself with the
mechanical features of any firearm you intend to
use. If you feel uncertain about any operational aspects
of your handgun, please contact Smith & Wesson
at 1-800-331-0852 before proceeding with its operation.
•
ALWAYS SAFELY STORE AND SECURE YOUR
FIREARM.
Safe and secure storage of your firearm
is one of the most important responsibilities of
firearms ownership. It is a full-time responsibility.
You must always secure your firearm and
ammunition separately so that they are not
accessible to children or other unauthorized persons.
(See Safe Storage Instructions on pages 8-9. )
•
ALWAYS TREAT EVERY FIREARM AS IF IT WERE
LOADED AND WOULD FIRE IF THE TRIGGER
IS PULLED.
Do not take anyone’s word that the
firearm is unloaded – always check for yourself.
Never pass your firearm to another person until the
cylinder or action is open and you visually check that it
is unloaded. Keep your firearm unloaded and safely stored
when not in use.
•
ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FIREARM POINTED IN A
SAFE DIRECTION.
Never point a firearm at anyone
or anything you do not intend to shoot whether or not
it is loaded. This is particularly important when
loading, unloading, or field stripping the gun. ALWAYS
control the direction of the firearm.
•
NEVER PLACE YOUR FINGER INSIDE THE
TRIGGER GUARD UNLESS YOU INTEND TO FIRE.
Your firearm cannot fire unless the trigger is pulled.
Ensure that other objects do not actuate the trigger.
•
ALWAYS BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT
IS BEYOND IT.
Always be sure of where the bullet
will strike and shoot only where there is a safe
backstop free of obstructions, water or other
surfaces which can cause ricochets. Do not fire into
the sky.
