Traditions 1873 Single Action Revolver - Manuale (Pagina 41)

41
Although the Single Action Revolvers are often referred to as "Six-
shooters" it was customary in the Old West to only load five rounds
in the gun and leave the chamber under the hammer empty. This
is by far the safest way to load a single action revolver.
Keeping your fingers out of the trigger guard and off the trigger,
draw the hammer back to the half cock position which makes the
cylinder free to rotate.
Open the loading gate as far as it will go. This will expose each
chamber, one at a time, as you rotate the cylinder.

AUTION
:
W E STRICTLY RECOMMEND TO ONLY LOAD FIVE ROUNDS AND LEAVE
THE CHAMBER UNDER THE FIRING PIN EMPTY. IF THE REVOLVER IS LOA-
DED PROPERLY IN THIS MANNER, IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE GUN
TO ACCIDENTALLY FIRE SHOULD IT BE DROPPED ON THE HAMMER.
C
AUTION
:
D O NOT LOAD THE REVOLVER UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO USE IT. READ
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. KEEP GUN POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER WHENEVER YOU
DO NOT INTEND TO FIRE.
