I was disheartened when I compared that to the Tomcat owner’s manual. “IN THE FIELD, the pistol should be carried unloaded (empty chamber, magazine removed, the hammer fully-lowered and the safety ‘ON’) in a holster, with the magazine in a pouch or pocket. It takes only a second to insert a loaded magazine and to retract and release the slide for chamber loading and cocking.” ssss1.) “WARNING!! If the pistol is carried chamber loaded (NOT RECOMMENDED) with the hammer full-lowered, ENGAGE the SAFETY: DO NOT try to override the Safety by asserting (sic) excessive trigger pull force. Also, the mechanism may be damaged by forceful manual hammer cocking.” “The Model 3032 has an INERTIA type firing pin which, when used with the hammer down, external safety engaged and with the double-action trigger pull, assures the greatest degree of safety if it is necessary to carry the pistol chamber loaded (NOT RECOMMENDED).” “Extreme care must be taken to avoid hitting or dropping a loaded firearm. Even if on SAFE, accidental discharge may occur – some ammunition have (sic) very sensitive primers.” (ssss1.)
