EVOLVER
If you have your revolver in the full-cock position and change your
mind and don't want to shoot, carefully follow these steps:
Make certain that the revolver is ponting in a safe direction.
Make certain both hands are dry and not impeded in any way-glo-
ves, bandages, cold, etc.
Fully draw the hammer back with your thumb and continue hol-
ding it fully rearward while pulling the trigger backward. Hold the
trigger and hammer back in this position.
While holding the trigger back, slowly lower the hammer
downward, past its half-cock notch. REMEMBER, YOU ARE
LOWERING IT TOWARD A LIVE ROUND! Be careful and keep it
pointed in a safe direction.
When past the half-cock notch, release pressure on the trigger and
take your finger out of the trigger guard.
Continue to lower the hammer to its safety notch position.
Fig. A - With the thumb controlling the hammer as shown above,
(1) squeeze trigger to permit hammer to break free (2).
Fig. B - When hammer is free, immediately release trigger (3).
Then lower hammer slowly to its resting position completely
down against frame (4).
