These warnings should be read prior to the use of any Pera products. All firearms are potentially dangerous weapons. Firearms should be kept out of the reach of children. Use of a handgun under any conditions may be dangerous. Serious personal injury or even death could occur without proper training in the safe handling of firearms by an accredited firearms safety course. No person should handle any firearm unless such person has successfully passed an accredited firearms safety program. Great care should be used when handling, storing or transporting firearms or when placing or removing a handgun from your Pera holster. Never place a loaded handgun in a holster without first testing, in an unloaded condition, for proper fit with the handgun. Carrying any handgun with a live cartridge in the chamber immediately in front of the firing pin may cause an accidental discharge. Single action revolvers and some semi-automatic pistols_, should be carried with the hammer or firing pin resting on an empty chamber. It is the user's responsibility to exercise extreme caution when handling or carrying any handgun and to assume at all times that the gun is loaded. Do not attempt to cock a handgun while it is in the holster. Cocking the handgun while holstered can cause damage to the holster, gun or both and may cause an accidental discharge. For information on how to carry your particular handgun, please refer to your handgun manufacturer's safety and instruction manual.

Pera Holsters are designed to fit factory equipped handguns. The use of trigger shoes or grip adapters or any modifications to the handgun may cause improper holster fit and accidental discharge. All Pera Holsters are designed to function safely and some are made for specific handguns. Any alteration to the holster or using a holster with a gun for which it was not made could also, render an unsafe condition. It is the user's responsibility to personally check for holster handgun compatibility using actual products. It is also the user's responsibility to regularly check the holster and its hardware (including but not limited to, snaps and screws) not manufactured by Pera for proper fit and function. Should any Pera product become worn, loose, broken, defective or ill-fitting, cease use immediately.

Please be certain that your gun is securely seated in the holster before use. Keep thumb on the back of the hammer {excluding cocked and locked carry method, slide must be used} or slide when inserting the handgun in the holster to help assure that no movement occurs during insertion. Keep fingers clear of the trigger when drawing or re-holstering. For maximum safety, holster retaining straps must be used when provided. During vigorous physical activity, such as running, the gun should be held in place with your hand to prevent the gun from falling out of the holster. We strongly recommend a regular practice routine be utilized to assure the continued capabilities of both the product and user.
