BEFORE LOADING AND FIRING THIS PISTOL,

READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INFORMATION IN THIS MANUAL.

This is an auto loading pistol. It is immediately

loaded and ready to fire again after each shot until all

shells loaded in magazine have been fired. The pistol is

able to fire both with and without the magazine in

place. Removing the magazine does not unload the

pistol nor engage the safety. The pistol is not unloaded

until the chamber is empty.

It is recommended that every person receive

instructions from a competent firearms instructor before

handling this or any other firearm.

Know and obey all gun laws. Do not give a gun to

someone who is not allowed to own a gun or who may

use it for a criminal purpose.

Used guns

If you purchased this firearm as a used gun have it

inspected and tested by a competent gunsmith before

you use it. Guns are sometimes altered and may

require repair before they can be used safely.

About your owners manual

This is an instruction booklet on how to operate this

firearm with some basic safe handling rules. It does not

attempt to provide information about using a gun to

defend yourself, how to hunt, or for competitive or target

shooting. It is important to get instruction from a

competent instructor prior to engaging in any of these

activities. The National Rifle Association, your local or

state authorities, or your gun dealer may provide

information regarding available instructors or training

courses. If you have a license to carry concealed, never

do so without prior instruction from a certified instructor.

Using a gun for self defense is a complex subject with

dangers and risks for which you must be properly trained.

Every safety rule has a reason behind it - read the rules

carefully and understand why each is important for safety.

Store guns safely in the home

Store guns unloaded, locked and in a secure place.

Obey gun storage laws. Store guns and ammunition

separately. Because your children may be in other

homes where guns are stored, you should show them

what to do if they see or find a gun by showing them

the Eddie Eagle video available from the NRA by

calling (703) 267-1000.

KNOW YOUR GUN

SAFETY RULES

READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE SAFETY RULES

Be A Safe Shooter.

ACCIDENT (ak´ si dent) N. 1. An unintentional or

unexpected happening that is undesirable or

unfortunate, especially one resulting in injury, damage,

harm or loss.

Be A Responsible Gun Owner.

• Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

• Never point a gun at any person or thing you do

not intend to shoot.

• Do not drop your gun. If it falls, it may fire even

with the safety on. If you do drop it, unload it and

examine it to be sure it works correctly. Do not

attempt to fire it again until you have completed this

safety check.

• Never put your hand over the muzzle of the gun.

• Keep your finger(s) off the trigger and out of the

trigger guard until you are actually aiming at your

target, ready to shoot.

Don’t be the cause of an accident.

A responsible gun owner is safety minded and always

handles guns in a safe manner by following the basic

rules of safe shooting and by using common sense in

the handling of a firearm.

Store firearms unloaded, locked, and in a secure place.

Keep keys for locks separate from lock and in secure

place away from children. Keep firearms out of reach

of children. You are responsible for children’s safety.

TREAT EVERY GUN AS IF IT WAS LOADED...ALL THE TIME.

BE A RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNER!

• Never rely on a gun’s “safety” to protect you from

unsafe gun handling. A safety is only a mechanical

device, not a substitute for common sense.

• When the gun is loaded and cocked, always keep

the thumb safety on until you are ready to fire.

• Be sure of your target and backstop before you

shoot. Ask yourself what your bullet will hit if it

misses or goes through the target.

• Before shooting, be sure the barrel is clear of

obstructions, including excessive oil and grease.

• If anything does get into the barrel, remove

cartridges, and clean bore immediately, before

attempting to shoot. Obstructed barrels can burst and

injure you or bystanders.

• Never let water, snow, mud or other materials enter

the barrel.

• Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle.

• Do not climb a tree, cross a fence or ditch, or jump

over an object with a loaded gun.

• Always hold your gun so you control the direction of

its muzzle in case you fall or stumble.

Model 1911-A1 Pistols are classified firearms and dangerous

weapons. Injury or death to you or others may result from

unsafe or improper use.

BE A SAFE SHOOTER!

• Guns and alcohol or drugs do not mix. Do not take

them before or during shooting activities. Your vision,

coordination and judgment could be impaired,

making gun handling unsafe.

• When taking medication, seek a doctor’s advice to be

sure you can operate and handle your firearm safely.

• Get instructions from a competent firearms instructor

before using any gun.

• Before attempting to shoot, practice operations by

dry firing with the chamber empty, without

ammunition, or with dummy shells. Become familiar

with the safety features, trigger control, and handling

of the firearm.

• Always keep and carry your pistol with an empty

chamber and with the hammer forward until you intend

to shoot, so your pistol cannot be fired unintentionally.

• Firearms should be unloaded when not in use. This

means both the chamber and magazine are empty.

• When transferring a gun by hand, always ask the

person receiving it to open the action and check that

it is unloaded.

• Never take anyone’s word that a firearm is unloaded.

When receiving a gun, always open the action and

check that it is unloaded.

READ THESE RULES!

• Always load shells from the magazine and keep your

finger off the trigger.

• Load gun only when on range preparing to fire.

Unload it before leaving range.

• Treat every gun as if it is loaded... all the time !

• Load and unload with the gun pointed in a

safe direction.

• Be certain gun is unloaded before cleaning.

• Completely unload your gun before storing, travelling,

standing it against an object, laying it down, entering

a house, car, truck, boat, RV/camper, building, or

handing it to someone.

• Never leave a loaded gun unattended.

• Tragedy may result if a child finds your gun and plays

with it. Keep every gun secure. Children do not

believe guns can kill.

• Store guns and ammunition separately. Both should

be placed beyond children’s reach.

• Obey all laws regarding the storage and security of

guns in the home.

• Know and obey the laws regarding the

transportation and carrying of firearms.

• Never carry any handgun in your pocket, purse or

tucked in your belt or waistband. Use a pistol case

or a proper holster with safety flap or strap.

• New non-defective brass is essential to ensure safe

functioning of your gun.

•Old or reloaded ammunition may be dangerous. Use

only clean, dry original, high-quality, commercially

manufactured ammunition. Reloaded ammunition will

void the warranty.

TREAT EVERY GUN AS IF IT IS LOADED...ALL THE TIME!

• Many ammunition identifications sound similar. Make

sure you use the right size ammunition in your gun.

• If gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it

pointed at the target for at least 30 seconds before

opening the action and removing the cartridge from

the chamber. Sometimes slow primer ignition will

cause a “hang fire” and the cartridge will go off

after a short pause.

• When group firing, always appoint someone to

maintain safety control. Obey his/her commands

immediately and completely.

• While shooter is loading, firing, and unloading,

spectators should be at least 10 feet behind the shooter.

• Always wear protective glasses when shooting.

• Always wear hearing protection when shooting.

• Never shoot at hard flat surfaces or water

...bullets will ricochet.

• Do not alter or modify your gun.

• Have your gun serviced regularly by a

qualified gunsmith.

• Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas,

cleaning firearms, or handling ammunition may result

in exposure to lead and other substances known to

cause birth defects, reproductive harm, cancer and

other serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation

at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.

Always wear eye and ear protection when

using any firearm. Safety and instruction

manuals are available from Springfield, Inc.

BE A SAFE SHOOTER!

• Do not try to change your gun’s trigger pull, because

alterations of trigger pull usually affect sear

engagement and might cause accidental firing.

• Never disassemble the safety, it has been correctly

designed, fitted and tested. Any mechanical device

can fail, however, so never rely on the safety as an

alternative to safe handling.

• Never use a gun that jams or fails to function

properly. Should this occur, return to Springfield, Inc.

for warranty/repair.

• If your shot sounds weak or underpowered, it could

mean a bullet is in the chamber/bore. Gun should

be immediately unloaded and the chamber/bore

checked for obstructions before refiring.

• Do not “horseplay” with a gun. Your gun cannot

think...but you can. Firearm safety depends on you

and is the responsibility of the operator.

understand and/or which might relate to your safety

and appliances and still cause serious injury or death

to persons in the house, next-door, or outside. Accidental

discharges indoors always result in property damage or

personal injury .

WARNING: When you squeeze the trigger, you must expect the gun to fire. You must

take full responsibility for firing it. Your care can avoid accidental discharge and thereby

avoid accidental injury and death.
