While this may seem so elementary that there is no need to state it, read and follow all instructions in the owner’s manual that came with your firearm! The manual may contain information regarding the operation of your firearm that you may not know even if you are an experienced shooter. Some firearms have particular features or characteristics that may have changed so that even experience with a similar model some years ago does not necessarily mean that the latest version operates in exactly the same way. I found recently when I was having trouble with a certain rifle that consulting the owner’s manual showed me why. It was not a safety issue but rather involved convenience in operation of the rifle. In addition to information on safety, the owner’s manual will give tips on maintenance of the firearm that can lead to long, trouble-free service. Correct procedures for loading, unloading, and handling firearms are important, and the owner’s manual will give you the information you need to perform these functions correctly.
