LOADING
TO LOAD THE REVOLVER:
1.Lower the hammer fully forward to the Safety position
then pull it back to the Half-Cock position. This
sequence allows the cylinder to rotate. The cylinder may
now be rotated manually in a clockwise direction. You
will feel a slight resistance as you rotate the cylinder, and
you will hear a clicking sound as each chamber cycles
past the firing pin.
2. Use your thumb to open the loading gate by swinging it
out to the right until it stops.
3.When loading the cylinder you must ALWAYS leave
one chamber empty, and that empty chamber should
ALWAYS be in line with the firing pin when finished
loading. Here is one method of accomplishing this:
(a) Make certain that the cylinder is completely empty.
(b)Place a cartridge in the exposed chamber just to the left
of the loading gate.
(c) Skip the next chamber.
(d) Load the rest of the chambers.
(e)After loading the chambers in this manner, the first
loaded chamber will swing into view just to the left of
the open loading gate. When that first loaded chamber
swings fully into view, the empty chamber will be at the
top of the cylinder in line with the firing pin.
4. Close the loading gate.
5. Lower hammer to safety position.
THE LOADING GATE MUST BE FULLY CLOSED
BEFORE FIRING THE REVOLVER. IF YOU FIRE THE
REVOLVER WITH THE LOADING GATE OPEN YOU
