substantially increased. For this reason, carefully observe the Safety Instructions 
already mentioned above. Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction, do not turn 
the pistol against your body or anyone else’s! Do not place your hands in front of 
the barrel! 
If you use your pistol for self defense, or in law enforcement, please acquire 
so-called dummy cartridges and practice fast clearing of malfunctions as 
described below.
