DANGEROUS WEAPONS and are produced by FRATELLI TANFOGLIO
S.N.C. with the specific understanding that we are not responsible in any
manner whatsoever for their safe handling or resale under local laws and
regulations.

FRATELLI TANFOGLIO SNC shall not be responsible in any manner what

soever for malfunctioning of the firearm, for physical injury or for property
damage resulting in whole or in part from (1) intentional or negligent
discharge, (2) improper or careless handling, (3) unauthorized modifications

liability is asserted on the basis of contract, negligence or strict liability
(including any failure to warn). Under no circumstance shall Fratelli Tanfoglio
s.n.c. be liable for incidental or consequential damages, such as loss of use
of property, commercial loss and loss of earnings or profits.

FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR

LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

Get competent firearms instruction in safe handling before using this firearm.
Please ask your dealer for names of qualified instructors near you. All guns
are extremely dangerous if carelessly handled or used. Remember that the
firearm user is the primary “safety” and that reliance on any mechanical
safety device should never replace safe handling procedures.

This firearm WILL FIRE if a cartridge is in the chamber and the trigger is
pulled while the safety is disengaged.

DO NOT LOAD THIS PISTOL UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND HOW IT

OPERATES. KEEP this pistol unloaded at all times except when you are
ready to fire and are sure of your target.

ALWAYS carry this pistol in a case or original box unloaded.

5
NEVER point this pistol at anything that is not your intended target even if
the pistol is unloaded. When loading, unloading, cleaning or handling,
always be sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction and always keep
your finger off the trigger.

NEVER assume any gun is unloaded. Before handling, check to make sure
the chamber is empty. See Unloading Instructions. Make sure you know that
this or any firearm is fully unloaded before displaying or handling it. When
handling any firearm, keep your fingers away from the trigger at all times
until you intend to fire.

Get instructions from a competent firearms instructor before using this or any
firearm. Learn from a professional how to handle, load, unload, operate, fire
and care for your gun.

NEVER PLAY with your firearm. It is not a toy and can be a very dangerous
weapon that can cause serious personal injury or death.

Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Treat every gun as if it is
loaded...all the time. NEVER point any firearm (loaded or unloaded) at any
person or anything you do not intend to shoot. Always keep your gun
unloaded until ready to use and make sure that it is unloaded before
cleaning.
Keep your finger OFF the trigger until you are actually aiming at the target
and ready to shoot. Learn to rest your finger outside of the trigger guard.

FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE OR

THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

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 using common sense
and following gun safety procedures.

Never leave a gun unattended or where it could fall.

Store guns and ammunition separately beyond the reach of children.

Make sure that they are properly secured so untrained individuals and
children will be denied access to your guns and ammunition.

Know your target and what is beyond. Ask yourself what your projectile will
hit if it misses the target or passes through the intended target. Never shoot
at hard flat surfaces or water . . . bullets ricochet.

6
Guns and alcohol or drugs do not mix. Don’t take any alcoholic beverages
and/or drugs before or during shooting activities.
Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree, cross a ditch
or fence with a loaded gun.

Always empty guns before entering a house, car, truck, boat, RV, camp or
any building.

When receiving a gun, always open the action and check to make sure the
chamber is unloaded.

NEVER accept anyone’s word that a gun is “unloaded” or “empty.” You

should immediately open the action and check to make sure it is unloaded.

Be careful with ALL ammunition. Even “blank” cartridges are deadly at close
range due to the muzzle blast. Make sure your ammunition is new and in
good clean condition. Do NOT oil or grease ammunition as this may
damage the cartridge primer. Do NOT tamper with or alter the standard
factory ammunition.

FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE

LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

Never put your hand over the muzzle of a gun.

ALWAYS WEAR protective shooting glasses and hearing protection when

using firearms.

Spectators should be at least 10 meters behind and away from the shooter
while the shooter is loading, shooting and unloading. Spectators should wear
eye and ear protection and avoid distracting those shooting their firearms.

Never drop your gun. If you do drop it, unload it and check it for proper
function before using it again.

Do NOT alter or modify your gun. Don’t try to change your gun’s trigger pull,
because it may affect sear engagement and thereby cause accidental firing.

Do NOT remove any internal safety or safety device on the firearm. Safety
mechanisms are designed to help protect you from personal injury or death.

Properly maintain and keep your gun clean. Keep it in a dry place away from
other metals and water. If your gun shows sign of corrosion or improper
operation, have it serviced by a competent gunsmith.
7
Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction when loading and unloading
your gun. Never point the muzzle at anyone.

If a gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it pointed down range at
the target for 60 seconds. Sometimes slow primer ignition will cause a “hang
fire” and the cartridge will go off after a short pause. If it still fails to fire, keep
the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and avoid exposure to the breech, as
you attempt to unload your firearm.

Never let water, snow, mud or other material enter the barrel. Always be
sure the barrel is free of any obstruction.

Use the correct ammunition for your firearm. (See Ammunition Warning).

Teach children: 1. NOT to touch guns, bullets, cartridges, shells, flares or

any explosive device and 2. That if they discover such a dangerous item or
weapon, they must immediately report its location to their parents, school
teacher or police.

Remember a firearm has the capability of taking your life or the life of
someone else. Be careful with your firearm - an accident is almost always
the result of not following basic safety rules.

USED FIREARMS - Firearms are sometimes altered to work incorrectly, or

parts may be removed, lost or replaced with incorrect parts. If you got your
Tanfoglio firearm as a used gun, BEFORE USING IT you should take it to a
good gunsmith who knows TANFOGLIO firearms, and have him examine it.

WRITE FRATELLI TANFOGLIO SNC concerning any items or

circumstances that you do not understand and which might relate to your
safety and the operation of your firearm at: FRATELLI TANFOGLIO, Via
Valtrompia 39/41 -25063- Gardone V.T. -Brescia- ITALY; info@tanfoglio.it.

W A R N I N G (POTENTIAL OBSTRUCTIONS)

BEFORE LOADING or firing a pistol, examine the bore and the firing
chamber to be certain they are clean and free of any obstruction. Even a
heavy coat of oil, grease, snow or water may result in damage to the firearm
and injury to the shooter and/or persons near the firearm. A misfire or
unusual sound upon firing is a signal to cease firing and to examine the
chamber and bore. If there is any obstruction, clear the obstruction and clean
the bore and chamber before firing.
Any bore obstruction, even if it is only partly blocked, may cause the gun to
blow up if it is fired, or may cause damage to the gun such as a bulged

8
barrel. To avoid injury or death to the shooter or bystanders, check the
barrels before shooting or if a shot does not sound normal.

WARNING
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction! Never attempt to load or
unload any firearm inside a vehicle, building or other confined space (except
a properly constructed shooting range). Enclosed areas frequently offer no
completely safe direction in which to point the firearm. If an accidental
discharge occurs, there is great risk of death, personal injury or property
damage. Before loading, always clean all, grease and oil from the bores and
chambers, and check to be certain that no obstructions are in the barrel. Any
foreign matter in the barrels could result in a bulged or burst barrel or other
damage to the firearm and could cause serious injury to the shooter or to
others.

WARNING
If there is any reason to suspect that a projectile is obstructing the barrel,
immediately unload the firearm (See Unloading Instructions) and check the
chamber and the bore. A projectile or some other matter may be lodged
some distance down the barrel where it can not easily be seen. Check the
bore by using a cleaning rod to pass through the barrel. If a blockage is in
the bore, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT WITH ANOTHER
CARTRIDGE, OR BLOW IT OUT WITH A BLANK CARTRIDGE OR A
CARTRIDGE FROM WHICH THE BULLET HAS BEEN REMOVED. SUCH
TECHNIQUE(S) CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE, DAMAGE
THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. If the
blockage can be removed with a cleaning rod, clean any unburned powder
grains from the bore, chambers and mechanism before resuming shooting. If
the blockage can not be dislodged by tapping it with a cleaning rod, take the
firearm to a gunsmith.

W A R N I N G (EYE AND EAR PROTECTION)

When shooting, full eye and ear protection is mandatory at all times.
Shooters and spectators must wear shooting glasses and hearing protection
to prevent eye injury and hearing loss. Vision and hearing impairment can
occur with only one moment of non-protection.

W A R N I N G (Mechanical Malfunctions)
STOP SHOOTING IMMEDIATELY AND UNLOAD YOUR FIREARM if your
firearm develops: a mechanical malfunction; binding or stoppage; spitting
powder/gas; a punctured cartridge primer; a bulged or ruptured cartridge
case; or a sound on firing does not sound quite right. Do NOT try one more
shot but unload your firearm and take it and the ammunition to a qualified
gunsmith or send the firearm back to FRATELLI TANFOGLIO S.N.C. for
9
examination. Do not assume that the pistol is empty merely because you
checked the chamber. You must also check the bore for any obstruction
inside the barrel.

BASIC PARTS OF YOUR PISTOL

EXTERNAL CONTROL PARTS:

Trigger Block Safety: The safety mechanism of the pistol provides
protection against accidental and unintentional discharge under normal
usage when properly engaged and in good working order. The safety
mechanism is not a substitute for following safe gun handling rules. Do not
disengage the safety unless you are ready to fire the pistol. MAKE SURE
YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THE SAFETY WORKS BEFORE YOU LOAD
OR USE THE PISTOL.

The safety mechanism is a lever located on the side of the pistol’s receiver.
See Figure 1. The safety may be operated with the hammer cocked (fully
back) or not cocked (all the way down) or in the resting position (about half
way between fully cocked and not cocked) and with the pistol loaded or
unloaded. To place the safety in the “on” or “safe” position, push the lever
up so that it covers the red dot. When in the “on” or “safe” position, the
safety blocks the rearward motion of the trigger so that it cannot be pulled to
the rear thus stopping the movement of the hammer. To place the safety in
the “off” or “fire” position, push the safety lever down. When in the “off” or
“fire” position, the red dot is exposed. You have now disengaged the safety
and the pistol is in the ready-to-fire position. See Figure 2. It is always a
good idea to make sure the gun is pointed in a safe direction during any
safety movement. See Figure 3.

10
 WARNING!
Do not touch the trigger while moving the safety. When operating the safety,
make sure you move it to the full extent of its travel in the desired direction,
either fully “on” or fully “off.” Half-safe or partially-safe is UNSAFE.

WARNING!
The pistol does not incorporate a magazine disconnect safety, so the pistol
may be fired with the magazine removed from the pistol.

WARNING!
The pistol is designed to and WILL FIRE when the trigger is pulled and the
safety mechanism is in the “off” or “fire” position.

Your Safety Does: Lock the sear so the trigger cannot be moved rearward.
By blocking the trigger movement the hammer is also blocked from
movement. If the hammer is back and the safety is on, you can move the
slide to safely check the chamber.

Firing Pin Block: The pistol also incorporates an automatic, internal firing
pin block which stops the firing pin from traveling forward. The firing pin
block is released only by pulling the trigger all the way to the rear as is done
in firing the pistol. It is located at the rear of the under-right hand side of the
slide, just in front of the firing pin. See Figure 4.

WARNING!
Always keep your fingers off the trigger and outside of the trigger guard until
you are ready to pull the trigger and fire the pistol

WARNING!
The pistol is designed to and WILL FIRE when the trigger is pulled and the
safety mechanism is in the “off” or “fire” position.

WARNING!
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction! See Figure 5.

Hammer: Located on the rear of the pistol and used to supply energy to the
firing pin to ignite the cartridge primer. See Figure 6.

11
Lowering The Hammer:

WARNING!
Make sure the pistol is unloaded (see Unloading Instructions) and pointed in
a safe direction!
WARNING!
Extreme caution must be used when lowering the hammer as the manual
safety and automatic firing pin block are “off” safety when this is being done!
If done incorrectly the pistol may FIRE.

WARNING!
Your pistol has a resting position or notch on the hammer. This notch is not
to be used as a half cock position. This notch’s sole purpose is an additional
notch on the hammer so as to allow the sear a chance to engage the
hammer if the trigger is not pulled fully to the rear.

In order to lower the hammer, first move the safety to the “off” safe position.
See Figure 7. Grasp the hammer very firmly and put a finger between the
hammer and the firing pin. See Figure 8. Then pull the trigger and slowly let
the hammer move forward past the resting position. RELEASE THE
TRIGGER. Gently let the hammer down against the rear of the slide. See
Figure 9. PUSH THE MANUAL SAFETY LEVER TO THE “ON” OR “SAFE”
POSITION.

Slide Stop: Locks the slide back when engaged. It is located on left hand
side of the gun. See Figure 10.

Magazine Release: Locks or holds the magazine in place and is depressed

to release the magazine. See Figure 11.

Rear Sight: Drift adjustable, unless the gun is shipped with the optional
windage / elevation adjustable sight. See Figure 12.

12
Trigger: A curved trigger is a single action / double action trigger and fires
the gun in single action or double action mode. See Figure 14. (Single
Action / Double Action Trigger).

LOADING AND UNLOADING YOUR PISTOL

WARNING!

 MANUFACTURER’S WARNING:

This firearm was manufactured to properly perform with the original parts as
designed. It is your duty to make sure any parts you buy are correctly
installed and that neither replacements nor originals are altered or changed.
Your gun is a complex tool with many parts that must relate correctly to other
parts for safe and accurate operation. Putting a gun together wrong or with
modified parts can result in a damaged gun, or personal injury or death to
you or others. Always let a qualified gunsmith work on your gun or at least,
check any work not performed by a gunsmith. Firearms safety is your
primary concern. THE GUN OWNER MUST ACCEPT FULL
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CORRECT REASSEMBLY AND
FUNCTIONING OF THE FIREARM AFTER ANY DISASSEMBLY OR
REPLACEMENT OF PARTS.

TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN YOUR PISTOL:

A) Follow procedures for unloading pistol as described previously.

B) Follow procedures for disassembly of pistol as described previously.

C) Materials needed to clean this pistol are: a cleaning rod, cotton bore
patches, brass bore brush, powder solvent, a small soft brush and good
quality gun oil.

WARNING: Lead or lead compounds are known to cause cancer, birth

defects, reproductive toxicity, and other serious physicalnjury. Those who
clean firearms should take protective measures to avoid contact or exposure
to such chemicals.

D) Using the bore brush with powder solvent, scrub the interior of the barrel
chambers to remove any powder and lead residue in the bore. Always and
lastly, swab the interior of the barrels chamber with cotton patch with gun oil
to coat and protect the barrel chambers from rust and corrosion.

E) Any powder fouling on the firing wall, barrel, etc. can be easily cleaned
with a brush and powder solvent.

F) All external surfaces should be wiped down with a light coat of rust
preventative. Avoid using too much oil as powder, dust or other foreign
material may get trapped in the oil. This could lead to congealed deposits
which may interfere with the safe and reliable operation of the pistol.

22
G) USE CAUTION while using solvents in gun bore cleaning. Prolonged or
excess contact with solvents can damage the gun’s bluing and finish. Be
sure to wipe away all excess solvent and then lubricate with oil.

H) A gun should be cleaned after firing. In addition, external parts should be

wiped with an oiled cloth after handling. A light oil is ordinarily all that is
necessary in cleaning if the gun has not been fired or fired very little. If a gun
is used frequently, it must be cleaned after each firing and regularly serviced
by a professional gunsmith. If the gun has been stored, remove all excess oil
and/or grease before firing. Always check to be sure that no cleaning patch
or other obstruction remains in the bore or chambers before firing.

DANGER – AMMUNITION WARNING

Firearms may be damaged and serious personal injury or death to the

shooter or bystanders may result from any condition which contributes to the
generation of excessive pressure or uncontrolled release of gas within the
firearm. Such adverse conditions can be caused by bore or chamber
obstruction, propellant powder overloads or by defective, incorrect or
improperly loaded and assembled cartridge components. Even the strongest
firearm can be blown up as a result of excessive pressure. It is extremely
dangerous to use a cartridge whose pressure is greater than that developed
by cartridges loaded to industry standards.

AMMUNITION (CARTRIDGES) NOTICE

We specifically disclaim responsibility for any damage, personal injury or

death occurring in connection with or as the result of the use of Tanfoglio
pistols with faulty, nonstandard, remanufactured, hand-loaded or reloaded
ammunition, or with cartridges other than factory cartridges for which the
firearm was originally chambered.

LUBRICATION WARNING

Firing a pistol with oil, grease or any other material even partially obstructing
the bore may result in damage to the pistol and personal injury to the
shooter and those nearby. Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on
ammunition. If the primer or powder charge of a cartridge is affected by the
lubricant, they may not fully ignite yet the energy from the primer and/or
powder may be sufficient to push the projectile or wad into the bore where it
may become lodged. Firing a subsequent cartridge into the obstructed bore
will damage the pistol and may cause personal injury to the shooter and
those nearby. Use lubricants properly. You are responsible for the proper
care and maintenance of your firearm and ammunition.
