I. SAFETY INFORMATION & GENERAL WARNINGS

IMPORTANT: Read ALL of the instructions and warnings in this manual carefully before using
this firearm. SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

Ten Rules of Safe Firearm Handling:

1. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

2. Firearms should be unloaded when not actually in use.

3. Don’t rely on your firearm’s safety mechanism.

4. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

5. Use correct ammunition for your firearm.

6. If your firearm fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, handle with care, especially when
unloading.

7. Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting.

8. Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting.

9. Don’t alter or modify your firearm and have your firearm serviced regularly.

10. Learn the mechanical and handling characteristics of the firearm you are using.

General Warnings

• Firearms are very dangerous and can cause serious injury or death if they are misused or used
inappropriately. Safe gun-handling habits will ensure safety and safe habits are your
responsibility.

• Accidents are usually the result of violating the rules of safe firearm handling and common
sense.

• Read the entire Manual carefully before using this firearm and make sure that any person using
or having access to this firearm reads and understands this Manual and its instructions and
warnings prior to accessing or using the firearm.

• Always make certain that the firearm is safely secured in a manner so as to prevent
unauthorized access or use. Never leave this firearm unattended.

• Always keep your firearms in a safe place, out of reach of children, and always store this
firearm and ammunition separately.
®

 Owner’s Manual for Ideal Conceal® IC380 § Ideal Conceal, Inc. § www.CellPhonePistol.com

• Always store your firearm unloaded.

• Always treat a firearm as if it were loaded.

• For your safety and the safety of others, never rely solely on mechanical safety features for a
firearm. Mechanical safety mechanisms are not a substitute for careful, correct, and secure
handling of this, or any, firearm.

• Never use alcohol or drugs before or while shooting. Do not use your firearm if you are ill or
on any medication which impairs, even slightly, your mental or physical ability.

• Owners and users of the firearm are fully responsible for cleaning, general care and the
condition of the firearm.

• Never shoot the firearm if it has been penetrated or corrupted by water, sand, dirt, or other
foreign bodies.

• Never place your finger on the trigger unless you are ready to shoot the firearm.

• Unload your firearm if you do not intend to shoot it immediately.

• Never shoot at hard surfaces, panes of glass, at water, or up into the sky. A bullet can penetrate
these surfaces or substances and/or be ricocheted in an unsafe and uncontrolled direction.

• Always be aware of the locations of any other people so that persons cannot accidentally walk
into the line of fire.

• Firearm safety training is available. Contact your dealer, The National Rifle Association (NRA),
your local law enforcement agency, or local sportsman’s club for availability. Appropriate use
for your firearm means using your firearm for only legal purposes. Legal purposes include target
shooting and lawful resistance of deadly criminal force.

II. IC380 SAFETY & RISK FACTORS

• To load, unload, store, or carry this gun safely, the handle must be in the closed position, as the
handle being closed is equal to the “SAFETY ON” mode. Failure to keep the handle closed can
result in accidental discharge causing serious injury or death.

• Never dry fire the IC380 (firing the gun with no ammo in the chambers). Dry firing damages
the firing pins and mechanisms and is done at the risk of the user. Always use snap-caps if you
want to dry fire.

• The IC380 resembles a cellphone and may visually appeal to children. Take specific care to
ensure that the firearm is never left unattended, accessible, or loaded around children.

• Familiarize yourself with the mechanical features of IC380. You must determine which
features are present in your specific IC380 and how those features operate. Various models of
the IC380 may be fitted with distinct features, which may include, for example, a sighting laser
or other features. If you feel uncertain about any operational aspects of your handgun, please
contact Ideal Conceal at the phone number listed at the beginning of this manual before
proceeding with its operation.

• Never manipulate, adjust, or change any of the internal components of your firearm.

• Manipulation of any internal component may affect the safety and reliability of your firearm
and may cause malfunctions, or lead to serious injury or death. Any work or repair work should
only be performed by a qualified gunsmith using genuine Ideal Conceal parts. Improper
manipulation or modification may cause malfunction, voids the Manufacturer’s Warranty, and
may cause serious injury or death.

• Be sure all accessories, such as holsters and grips, are compatible with the firearm and that the
accessories do not interfere with safe operation. Use factory standard .380 ACP caliber
ammunition for the IC380, which is indicated by markings on the barrel.

• Safety glasses and hearing protection should be worn at all times, and remember, carelessness
causes calamity. Learn to be a safe shooter so that you can enjoy this firearm for many years.

• Do not drop or mishandle this gun when loaded, as it may fire if dropped.

III. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION & CONTENTS

A. PARTS OF THE FIREARM

To unfold the IC380 into a shooting position, first ensure that the muzzle of the firearm is always
pointed in a safe direction. Next, grip and rotate the handle away from the body of the firearm, as
shown in the images above. When fully extended, the handle will lock in place. Confirm that the
handle is fully open and locked into place prior to loading, unloading, or firing the IC380.

4
 Owner’s Manual for Ideal Conceal® IC380 § Ideal Conceal, Inc. § www.CellPhonePistol.com

To return the handle to the closed position, simply depress the handle lock buttons on each side of
the handle, and rotate the handle in the opposite direction toward the body of the firearm. Once
the handle begins to close, the handle lock buttons should be released, and the handle can be rotated
into a closed position. Do not force the handle closed without first depressing the handle lock
buttons. Before folding the firearm for storage or transport, first confirm that the firearm is
unloaded.

B. LOADING

To load the IC380, first (i) open the breach block by sliding the breach block latch away from the
muzzle and rotating the breach block away from the latch. Next, (ii) insert two .380 ACP caliber
rounds into the dual chambers. Finally, (iii) close the breach block by rotating the breach block
into a closed position, as shown in the image below. Always be certain that the breach barrel latch
is fully closed and engaged before firing.

 Owner’s Manual for Ideal Conceal® IC380 § Ideal Conceal, Inc. § www.CellPhonePistol.com

Never load or unload the firearm inside a vehicle, a building, or any other enclosed space (except
in a designated firing range). Before loading the firearm, wipe away any excess grease or foreign
substance, and visually confirm that there are no objects or other materials inside the barrel or
internal breach block area.

Do not put your finger on the trigger until the firearm is pointed in a safe direction
and you are prepared to fire!

C. UNLOADING

To unload the IC380, use the same procedure as outlined above in Section II(B) to open the breach
block. Cartridges are removed from the chambers by pressing down on the extractor on side of
barrel and sliding it rearward, away from the muzzle.

NEVER PLACE YOUR HAND IN FRONT OF THE BARREL DURING EJECTION OR

UNLOADING, ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE UNFIRED BULLETS IN THE
CHAMBER.

D. AIMING & FIRING

With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your finger outside the trigger guard, take aim at
a safe target. When prepared to fire, place your finger on the trigger, and squeeze the trigger until
the round is fired. Once the trigger is released, you may fire another round by repeating this
process, or unload or reload the firearm.

E. DISASSEMBLY & MAINTENANCE

No disassembly is required to perform routine cleaning of the IC380, and any disassembly of the
firearm will void the warranty. Prior to cleaning, first ensure that the firearm is unloaded and always
pointed in a safe direction. Never assume that the firearm is unloaded; visually inspect the chamber
to ensure the chamber is clear and that there are no bullets in either chamber. It is recommended
that the barrel and chamber be cleaned after firing, and the remainder of the firearm be wiped clean
of any debris. To gain access to the interior of the firearm receiver for cleaning, open the breach
block by sliding the breach block latch away from the muzzle and rotating the breach block away
from the latch, as shown above in Section III(B). A light coat of lubricant may be applied to the
pivot points of the handle and breach block, and the bolt itself. A firearm that has not been properly
cleaned may cause damage to the firearm, and may further lead to serious injury or death to
yourself and others.

F. AMMUNITION

The IC380 was designed to fire standard factory .380 ACP caliber ammunition only. WARNING:
Never use any ammunition with an incorrect gauge or caliber. Never use non-standard, reloaded,
hot loaded, “Plus-P” (+P), “Plus-P-Plus” (+P+), or aftermarket ammunition. These types of
®

ammunition may generate dangerous pressures within the gun, and can lead to death, serious
injury, and damage to the IC380.
