2 State-By-State Warnings Certain states require by law that their own specified warning notices in larger-than-normal type be conspicuously included by the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer with firearms sold in that state. Heizer Defense sells its products in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Because our products may be sold in these states, we include the following: California: WARNING ADVERTENCIA “Children are attracted to and “A los niños los atraen las can operate firearms that can armas de fuego y las pueden cause severe injuries or death. hacer funcionar. Ellos pueden Prevent child access by always causarses lesions graves y la keeping guns locked away and muerte. Evite que los niños unloaded when not in use.

Si usted to prison.” tiene un arma de fuego cargada en un lugar en que un niño tiene acceso a ella y la usa indebidamente, le pueden dar una multa o enviarlo a la carcel.”

Connecticut: “UNLAWFUL STORAGE OF A LOADED FIREARM MAY RESULT IN IMPRISONMENT OR FINE.” Florida: “IT IS UNLAWFUL, AND PUNISHABLE BY IMPRISONMENT AND FINE, FOR ANY ADULT TO STORE OR LEAVE A FIREARM IN ANY PLACE WITHIN THE REACH OR EASY ACCESS OF A MINOR UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE OR TO KNOWINGLY SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OR POSSESSION OF A FIREARM TO A MINOR OR A PERSON OF UNSOUND MIND.”

3 Maine: “ENDANGERING THE WELFARE OF A CHILD IS A CRIME. IF YOU LEAVE A FIREARM AND AMMUNITION WITHIN EASY ACCESS OF A CHILD, YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO FINE, IMPRISONMENT OR BOTH. KEEP FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION SEPARATE. KEEP FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION LOCKED UP. USE TRIGGER LOCKS.” Maryland: “WARNING: Children can operate firearms which may cause death or serious injury. It is a crime to store or leave a loaded firearm in any location where an individual knew or should have known that an unsupervised minor would gain access to the firearm. Store your firearm responsibly!” Massachusetts: “WARNING FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY GENERAL: This handgun is not equipped with a device that fully blocks use by unauthorized users. More than 200,000 firearms like this one are stolen from their owners every year in the United States. In addition, there are more than a thousand suicides each year by younger children and teenagers who get access to firearms. Hundreds more die from accidental discharge. It is likely that many more children sustain serious wounds, or inflict such wounds accidentally on others. In order to limit the chance of such misuse, it is imperative that you keep this weapon locked in a secure place and take other steps necessary to limit the possibility of theft or accident. Failure to take reasonable preventive steps may result in innocent lives being lost, and in some circumstances may result in your liability for these deaths.” “IT IS UNLAWFUL TO STORE OR KEEP A FIREARM, RIFLE, SHOTGUN OR MACHINE GUN IN ANY PLACE UNLESS THAT WEAPON IS EQUIPPED WITH A TAMPER- RESISTANT SAFETY DEVICE OR IS STORED OR KEPT IN A SECURELY LOCKED CONTAINER.”

4 New Jersey: “IT IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE TO LEAVE A LOADED FIREARM WITHIN EASY ACCESS OF A MINOR.” New York City: “THE USE OF A LOCKING DEVICE OR SAFETY LOCK IS ONLY ONE ASPECT OF RESPONSIBLE FIREARM STORAGE. FOR INCREASED SAFETY, FIREARMS SHOULD BE STORED UNLOADED AND LOCKED IN A LOCATION THAT IS BOTH SEPARATE FROM THEIR AMMUNITION AND INACCESSIBLE TO CHILDREN AND OTHER UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS.” North Carolina: “IT IS UNLAWFUL TO STORE OR LEAVE A FIREARM THAT CAN BE DISCHARGED IN A MANNER THAT A REASONABLE PERSON SHOULD KNOW IS ACCESSIBLE TO A MINOR.” Texas: “IT IS UNLAWFUL TO STORE, TRANSPORT, OR ABANDON AN UNSECURED FIREARM IN A PLACE WHERE CHILDREN ARE LIKELY TO BE AND CAN OBTAIN ACCESS TO THE FIREARM.” North Carolina: “IF YOU LEAVE A LOADED FIREARM WITHIN THE REACH OR EASY ACCESS OF A CHILD, YOU MAY BE FINED OR IMPRISONED OR BOTH IF THE CHILD IMPROPERLY DISCHARGES, POSSESSES, OR EXHIBITS THE FIREARM.”

5 FIREARM SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

SAFETY MUST BE THE FIRST AND CONSTANT CONSIDERATION OF EVERY PERSON WHO HANDLES FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION.

This Owner’s Manual is designed to assist you in learning how to use and care for your HEIZER DEFENSE® PISTOL properly. Please contact us if you have any questions. Only when you are certain you fully understand the Manual and can properly carry out its instructions should you practice loading, unloading, etc. with live ammunition. If you have any doubts about your ability to handle or use a particular type of gun safely, you should seek supervised instruction. Such personalized instruction often is available from local gun retailers, gun clubs or police departments. If none of these sources can help, visit www.nra.org/home or write to the following address:

National Rifle Association 11250 Waples Mill Road Fairfax, VA 22030-7400

You must know how to use your firearm safely.

Do not use any firearm without having a complete understanding of its particular characteristics and safe use.

7 WHY ARE WE INCLUDING A FIRED CARTRIDGE CASE WITH EVERY HEIZER DEFENSE PISTOL?

Certain states and jurisdictions require newly manufactured pistols must be accompanied by a cartridge case that has been test fired from that gun at the factory. The case must be placed in a sealed container bearing certain information concerning this test cartridge.

At the time of retail sale in those jurisdictions, firearms dealers must forward such test cartridge to a designated destination such as their State Police Laboratory. As independent distributors of Heizer Defense® firearms have nationwide markets without territorial restrictions, we have decided to include a fired cartridge case with all new Heizer Defense® pistols to minimize the possibility of inadvertent non-compliance with these laws.

Retail customers located in other states, where laws or regulations do not require the dealer to so act, may be assured that the fired cartridge case they receive with the firearm at the time of retail purchase is proof that your new Heizer Defense firearm has undergone our normal test firing procedures during manufacture.

8 LOCKING DEVICE

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – USE OF LOCKING DEVICES

• Always keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction, including when you are installing or removing your locking device.

• Always verify that your firearm is completelyunloaded before installing your locking device.

• Do not install locking devices in the trigger guard; always keep your fingers and locking device outside the trigger guard during device installation and removal.

• Store firearms, ammunition and keys separately and securely, away from children and careless adults; do not store your firearm with the keys in the locking device.

• Do not attempt to work the action of your firearm with the locking device in place; this may damage your firearm.

• While locking devices are an important aid to security measures, they are not a substitute for safe firearm handling and proper storage. Remember that any mechanical device can be bypassed with enough time, knowledge, determination and equipment.

LOCKING DEVICES MUST BE USED SAFELY AND RESPONSIBLY

Use the Correct Lock: While the basic locking device is substantially similar for all Heizer Defense® firearms, due to the different shapes of the many Heizer Defense® firearms, some firearms utilize different locking devices. The Heizer Defense Pocket Pistols are supplied with a 15” shackle lock.

It is very important to use the correct locking device!

9 Install the Factory-Supplied Locking Device: 1. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your fingers outside the trigger guard at all times! 2. Be sure the firearm is completely unloaded and contains no cartridges or cartridge cases! 3. Open the barrel completely. 4. Slide the cable through the barrel. 5. Close the lock by pressing the shackle into the body of the lock (the part that receives the key) as tightly together as possible. The lock has bumpers and the shackle is coated with a non-marring material that will not harm the metal finish of your firearm; be careful not to dent the frame or grip panels of the pistol. 6. Once the lock is securely closed, remove the key and pull firmly on the lock to test the connection and be sure it is locked. Do not leave or store your firearm with the key in the lock! Store your locked unloaded firearm and the key in secure, separate locations, away from ammunition, children or unauthorized adults.

11 AMMUNITION

The HEIZER DEFENSE® POCKET PISTOLS are chambered for multi-calibers. Do not attempt to load any other cartridges into the chamber that it is not designated on the barrel.

The HEIZER DEFENSE® pistols are compatible with standard factory ammunition loaded to U.S. Industry Standards, including hollow-point loads loaded in brass or aluminum cases. No ammunition manufactured in accordance with NATO, U.S., SAAMI, or CIP standards is known to be beyond the design limits or known not to function in these pistols.

LOADING AND FIRING Practice this important aspect of safe gun handling with an unloaded pistol until you can perform each of the steps described below with skill and confidence. But before you do anything with the pistol, first read completely through this manual. 1. Be certain the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction. (See “The Basic Rules of Safe Firearms Handling,” page 23.) 2. Push the Thumb Latch forward to raise the barrel. 3. Hold the pistol firmly in the shooting hand but do not touch the trigger. Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction. 4. Place a cartridge in the barrel. Use care to not place any part of your hand in front of the muzzle and lock the barrel to the frame. The barrel is securely locked when the Thumb Latch is completely in the rearward position.

WARNING: The pistol is ready for instant use when the barrel is latched to the frame. Be careful!

Keep Pistol pointed in a safe direction. 5. The pistol is ready for instant use. After a shot is fired, the trigger must be allowed to move fully forward and the barrel opened for cartridge extraction and reloading. 6. If the pistol is not to be used immediately, the barrel should be unloaded and kept secure with the lock supplied with this firearm.

14 WARNING – HANDLING Do not load the pistol until you are ready to use it, and unload it immediately when you have completed shooting. (See “Unloading Warning” below.) If dropped or struck, the pistol may fire. Keep chamber empty unless actually firing! For maximum safety when carrying the pistol, the chamber should be empty, the barrel should be open. The user should never depend on any mechanical device to justify careless handling or permitting the pistol to point in an unsafe direction. The shooter should always be alert to the possibility of accidental discharge. The only safe pistol is one in which the barrel is open and the chamber is empty.

ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF DROPPED UNLOADING WARNING: This sequence must be followed exactly as outlined. Failure to do so can result in accidental firing. 1. The muzzle of the pistol must be pointing in a safe direction at all times, and fingers should be outside of the trigger guard. 2. Unlatch the barrel by pushing the Thumb Latch forward on the frame. REMEMBER that even though the barrel has been unlatched, a live round may remain in the chamber.

Thumb Latch

15 ALWAYS WEAR HEARING and EYE PROTECTION

TO EXTRACT A CHAMBERED CARTRIDGE If a cartridge fails to fire or if the shooter wishes to extract the chambered cartridge manually, follow the procedure “To Unload” on page 15. The gun user must: 1. Always visually check the chamber after opening the barrel to extract a chambered cartridge. If the barrel is not vigorously opened, the cartridge may not be properly extracted by the extractor. Care must always be taken when extracting a round. 2. Always follow safe procedures and NEVER point your firearm at anyone. 3. Thoroughly clean the chamber and the extractor as often as necessary. Remember — always remove a cartridge and visually ensure that no cartridges remain in the gun.

TO CLEAR MALFUNCTIONS (“JAMS”) 1. Be certain the muzzle is continually pointed in a safe direction. 2. It may be necessary to manually remove a jammed cartridge that has only been partially extracted from the barrel. 3. If so, use extreme care. Open the barrel and be sure to keep your face away from the ejection path during this operation. Safely dispose of any cartridges involved in a malfunction incident. Do not use damaged ammunition in any firearm.

16 WARNING - MALFUNCTIONS

Any pistol may occasionally malfunction. If a cartridge hangs up, jams, or binds when being chambered, do not attempt to force it into the chamber by pushing or striking the barrel. Carefully remove it. Most failures of a cartridge to feed or to chamber properly are caused by incorrect gun handling, insufficient lubrication, or improper ammunition. Whatever the cause, the user of the pistol must, above all, recognize that any cartridge jam can result in a potentially very dangerous situation of a cartridge discharging before it is properly chambered. If this happens, the cartridge case may rupture and its fragments fly out of the ejection port of the pistol with sufficient force to cause serious injury. Always wear safety glasses! HITTING PRIMER CAN BURST CARTRIDGE

MINIMIZING MALFUNCTIONS (“JAMS”) 1. If it appears that the jam was caused by the type of ammunition being used, try another brand, type, or lot number. Remember — use only factory ammunition of the correct caliber. 2. If changing ammunition does not at once eliminate malfunctions, then the following steps should be taken: a. Thoroughly clean the pistol, paying particular attention to the removal of accumulated grease and dirt. Use a bristle brush and solvent to remove grease and fouling from the breech-face, extractor and chamber. b. Remove excess oil and solvent from all cleaned components, load the barrel, and try the pistol again. Make sure you are following the correct loading and firing sequence as described in this manual. c. If it still does not function correctly, return the pistol to the Heizer Defense Customer Service Department. (See “Shipping Firearms for Repair” on page 21). d. When cleaning is necessary, use a solvent that will not rust the metal components. e. Alterations to the pistol or use of non-Heizer Defense accessories may cause malfunctions. See “Alteration Warning” on page 11. 17 TO DISASSEMBLE / CHANGE BARREL Be sure pistol is unloaded! An on-line video demonstrating the disassembly and reassembly of the POCKET Pistols can be viewed by going to www.heizerdefense.com and clicking on the “Products” section, 1. Keep pistol pointed in a safe direction. 2. Carefully open the barrel as described in this manual. 3. Carefully push out the “take down” pin that holds the barrel to the frame. The pin must be pushed out through the right side of the frame. 4. Carefully remove the barrel.

WARNING - DISASSEMBLY Always unload a firearm before cleaning, lubrication, disassembly or assembly.

UNLOAD BEFORE DISASSEMBLY

18 REASSEMBLY 1. Be certain the chamber is empty. 2. Place barrel into position and carefully replace the pin. The pin should be flush on both sides of the frame. 3. Be sure to take care and not scratch the finish.

CARE AND CLEANING Make Sure Gun Is Unloaded!

BEFORE CLEANING, BE CERTAIN THE PISTOL is UNLOADED. At regular intervals, or whenever the pistol has been exposed to sand, dust, extreme humidity, condensation, immersion in water, or other adverse conditions; disassemble, clean, and oil it. Proper periodic maintenance is essential to the reliable functioning of any firearm. An on-line video demonstrating the proper cleaning procedure of the POCKET Pistols can be viewed by going to the “Products” section, “Videos,” and then Heizer Defense POCKET PISTOLS at www.heizerdefense.com. To clean the pistol, proceed as follows: 1. Disassemble (fieldstrip) the pistol to the extent described on page 18. 2. Using a cleaning rod, run a properly sized, solvent-wetted patch through the bore several times. Then attach a solvent-wetted bristle brush to a cleaning rod and run it back and forth the full length of the bore as many times as necessary to remove grease and dirt from the bore and chamber. Clean bore with dry patches and examine. Bore fouling can contribute to reduced accuracy, and grease accumulation in the chamber. 3. Using powder solvent on a clean patch or bristle brush, remove powder residue from all components of the pistol. After cleaning, run a dry patch through the bore, and then follow with a patch that is very lightly oiled. Wipe all surfaces clean with cloth, then wipe all surfaces with a patch or cloth that has been very lightly oiled. 4. NOTE: Only a light application of oil is needed to provide adequate lubrication of moving parts and to prevent rust. Excess accumulations of oil tend to attract particles of dust and dirt and may congeal in cold weather, which can interfere with the safe and reliable function of the pistol. 5. Before firing, remove all oil and grease from the bore. When cleaning is necessary, use a solvent that will not rust the metal components.

27 WHY NO WARRANTY CARD HAS BEEN PACKED WITH THIS NEW HEIZER DEFENSE FIREARM

The Magnuson-Moss Act (Public Law 93-637) does not require any seller or manufacturer of a consumer product to give a written warranty. It does provide that if a written warranty is given, it must be designated as “limited” or as “full” and sets minimum standards for a “full” warranty. Heizer Defense LLC has elected not to provide any written warranty, either “limited” or “full”, rather than to attempt to comply with the provisions of the Magnuson-Moss Act and the regulations issued thereunder. There are certain implied warranties under state law with respect to sales of consumer goods. As the extent and interpretation of these implied warranties varies from state to state, you should refer to your state statutes. Heizer Defense LLC wishes to assure its customers of its continued interest in providing service to owners of Heizer Defense firearms.
