YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIREARMS SAFETY
As a gun owner, you accept a set of demanding responsibilities. How
seriously you take these responsibilities can be the difference between
life and death.
THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR CARELESS OR ABUSIVE HANDLING OF ANY
FIREARM. AT ALL TIMES HANDLE YOUR BUCK MARK 22 AND ANY OTHER
FIREARM WITH INTENSE RESPECT FOR ITS POWER AND POTENTIAL
DANGER.PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE CAUTIONS AND PROPER
HANDLING PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS BOOKLET BEFORE USING
YOUR NEW FIREARM.
1
ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE OF YOUR BUCK MARK 22 POINTED IN A
SAFE DIRECTION.
Never point any firearm at anything you do not
intend to shoot. Be extremely alert and aware of all persons and
property within the range of your ammunition.
2
NEVER RELY TOTALLY ON YOUR FIREARM’S MECHANICAL “SAFETY”
DEVICE.
The word “safety” describes a gun’s blocking or disengaging
mechanism for the trigger, sear, hammer and/or firing pin. Although
mechanical devices place your Buck Mark 22 pistol in a SAFER
status, no guarantee can be made that the gun will not fire even if
the “safety” is on the “on safe” position.
LIKE ANY MECHANICAL DEVICE, A “SAFETY” CAN SOMETIMES FAIL; IT
CAN BE JARRED OR INADVERTENTLY MANIPULATED INTO AN UNSAFE
CONDITION.
Mechanical “safeties” merely aid safe gun handling and
are no excuse for pointing your guns muzzle in an unsafe direction.
While it is a good idea to “test” your guns mechanical “safeties”
periodically for proper function,
NEVER TEST IT WHILE YOUR GUN IS
LOADED OR POINTED IN AN UNSAFE DIRECTION.
Safe gun handling does not stop with your guns mechanical “safety”
devices – it starts there. Always treat this pistol with the respect due a
loaded, ready-to-fire firearm.
3
DO NOT CARRY YOUR BUCK MARK WITH A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER.
For good safety practice, it is recommended that a round not be
chambered until immediately before your pistol is to be fired.
