Traditions 1873 Single Action Revolver User Manual download pdf (Page 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.

CAUTION:

WE 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.

CAUTION:

DO 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.

WARNING!

USE ONLY FACTORY MADE AMMUNITION. THE MATERIALS OF THIS

FIREARM HAVE BEEN SELECTED ACCORDING TO THE FACTORY MADE

AMMUNITION PRESSURES. THE RIFLING AND THE CHAMBER SIZE OF THIS

FIREARM HAVE BEEN SELECTED ACCORDING TO THE FACTORY MADE

AMMUNITION SIZE.
