4
 FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR
LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE
Get competent firearms instruction in safe handling before using this firearm.
Please ask your dealer for names of qualified instructors near you. All guns are
extremely dangerous if carelessly handled or used. Remember that the firearm user is the
primary “safety” and that reliance on any mechanical safety device should never
replace safe handling procedures.
This firearm WILL FIRE if a cartridge is in the chamber and the trigger is pulled while the
safety is disengaged.
DO NOT LOAD THIS PISTOL UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND HOW IT OPERATES.
KEEP this pistol unloaded at all times except when you are ready to fire and are sure of
your target.
ALWAYS carry this pistol in a case or original box unloaded.

NEVER point this pistol at anything that is not your intended target even if the pistol is
unloaded. When loading, unloading, cleaning or handling, always be sure the muzzle is
pointed in a safe direction and always keep your finger off the trigger.
NEVER assume any gun is unloaded. Before handling, check to make sure the chamber is
empty. See Unloading Instructions. Make sure you know that this or any firearm is fully
unloaded before displaying or handling it. When handling any firearm, keep your fingers
away from the trigger at all times until you intend to fire.
Get instructions from a competent firearms instructor before using this or any
firearm. Learn from a professional how to handle, load, unload, operate, fire and care for
your gun.
NEVER PLAY with your firearm. It is not a toy and can be a very dangerous weapon
that can cause serious personal injury or death.
Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Treat every gun as if it is loaded...all the
time. NEVER point any firearm (loaded or unloaded) at any person or anything you do
not intend to shoot. Always keep your gun unloaded until ready to use and make sure that it
is unloaded before cleaning.
Keep your finger OFF the trigger until you are actually aiming at the target and ready to
shoot. Learn to rest your finger outside of the trigger guard.
Never rely on a gun’s “safety” to protect you from unsafe gun handling. A safety is
only a mechanical device, not a substitute for using common sense and following gun safety
procedures.
Never leave a gun unattended or where it could fall.

Store guns and ammunition separately beyond the reach of children. Make sure that
they are properly secured so untrained individuals and children will be denied access to
your guns and ammunition.
Test your gun’s operation and safeties only at a shooting range while the firearm
is pointed in a safe direction.
If a gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it pointed down range at the target for 60
seconds. Sometimes slow primer ignition will cause a “hang fire” and the cartridge will go off
after a short pause. If it still fails to fire, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and avoid
exposure to the breech, as you attempt to unload your firearm.

5
 FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR
LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE
Know your target and what is beyond. Ask yourself what your projectile will hit if
it misses the target or passes through the intended target. Remember, a fired projectile can
travel over a mile (including a ricochet) and is capable of going through walls. Never shoot at
hard flat surfaces or water . . . bullets ricochet.
Guns and alcohol or drugs do not mix. Don’t take any alcoholic beverages and/or
drugs before or during shooting activities.
Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree, cross a ditch or fence
with a loaded gun.
Always empty guns before entering a house, car, truck, boat, RV, camp or any building.

When receiving a gun, always open the action and check to make sure the chamber is
unloaded.

NEVER accept anyone’s word that a gun is “unloaded” or “empty.” You should immediately
open the action and check to make sure it is unloaded.
Be careful with ALL ammunition. Even “blank” cartridges are deadly at close range due
to the muzzle blast. Make sure your ammunition is new and in good clean condition. Do
NOT oil or grease ammunition as this may damage the cartridge primer. Do NOT tamper
with or alter the standard factory ammunition.
Keep firearms unloaded when not actually in use. Load the gun only when on the
range preparing to fire and unload it before leaving the range.
Never put your hand over the muzzle of a gun.

ALWAYS WEAR protective shooting glasses and hearing protection when using
firearms.
Spectators should be at least 10 feet behind and away from the shooter while the
shooter is loading, shooting and unloading. Spectators should wear eye and ear
protection and avoid distracting those shooting their firearms.
Never drop your gun. If you do drop it, unload it and check it for proper function before
using it again.
Do NOT alter or modify your gun. Don’t try to change your gun’s trigger pull, because it may
affect sear engagement and thereby cause accidental firing.
Do NOT remove any internal safety or safety device on the firearm. Safety mechanisms
are designed to help protect you from personal injury or death.
Properly maintain and keep your gun clean. Keep it in a dry place away fromother metals
and water. If your gun shows sign of corrosion or improper operation, have it serviced by a
competent gunsmith.
Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction when loading and unloading your gun. Never
point the muzzle at anyone.
Never let water, snow, mud or other material enter the barrel. Always be sure the
barrel is free of any obstruction.

 FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR
LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE
Use the correct ammunition for your firearm. (See Ammunition Warning)

Teach children: 1. NOT to touch guns, bullets, cartridges, shells, flares or any explosive
device and 2. That if they discover such a dangerous item or weapon, they must
immediately report its location to their parents, school teacher or police.
Remember a firearm has the capability of taking your life or the life of someone else. Be
careful with your firearm - an accident is almost always the result of not following basic safety
rules.

Use the Cable Lock Provided with your Pistol

This pistol comes with a cable lock to assist in protecting against unauthorized use. The
pistol must be unloaded when the security lock and block are in place on the pistol.

WARNING: Using the cable lock and block or lockable case cannot substitute for securing
your firearm and ammunition in separate, locked locations.

The cable lock operates as follows:

A) Remove security lock and block from its package that came with the firearm.
B) Begin by locking the slide in the open position. Then feed one end of the cable
through the magazine well up through the ejection port of the slide. Finally, insert
the cable into the lock block (See Figure A).
C) Begin by locking the slide in the open position. Then insert the cable through the
ejection port and into the barrel, until it reaches the end of the barrel. Now insert
into the lock block (See Figure B).

Figure A Figure B

WARNING Always store the key to the cable lock: (1) in a separate location away
from the pistol; (2) in a secure location unknown and not accessible to others, especially
children. Whether you secure your firearms by using the supplied cable lock, a gun lock or
safe or some other mechanism, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to store your firearms in
such a manner that children and other unauthorized persons cannot gain access to
them.

USED FIREARMS - Firearms are sometimes altered to work incorrectly, or parts may
be removed, lost or replaced with incorrect parts. If you received
your European American Armory Corp firearm as a used gun, BEFORE USING IT you
should take it to a qualified gunsmith who knows EAA Corp firearms, and have him
examine it. WRITE EUROPEAN AMERICAN ARMORY CORP concerning any
items or circumstances that you do not understand and which might relate to your
safety and the operation of your firearm at: European American Armory Corp., 1426
King Street, Cocoa, FL 32922, (321) 639-4842, or [email protected]

WARNING (POTENTIAL OBSTRUCTIONS) - BEFORE LOADING or firing a pistol,

examine the bore and the firing chamber to be certain they are clean and free of any
obstruction. Even a heavy coat of oil, grease, snow or water may result in damage to the
firearm and injury to the shooter and/or persons near the firearm. A misfire or unusual
sound upon firing is a signal to cease firing and to examine the chamber and bore. If
there is any obstruction, clear the obstruction and clean the bore and chamber before
firing. Any bore obstruction, even if it is only partly blocked, may cause the gun to blow up if
it is fired, or may cause damage to the gun such as a bulged barrel. To avoid injury or
death to the shooter or bystanders, check the barrels before shooting or if a shot does not
sound normal.

WARNING - Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction! Never attempt to
load or unload any firearm inside a vehicle, building or other confined space (except a
properly constructed shooting range). Enclosed areas frequently offer no completely safe
direction in which to point the firearm. If an accidental discharge occurs, there is great
risk of death, personal injury or property damage. Before loading, always clean all,
grease and oil from the bores and chambers, and check to be certain that no
obstructions are in the barrel. Any foreign matter in the barrels could result in a bulged
or burst barrel or other damage to the firearm and could cause serious injury to the
shooter or to others.
WARNING - If there is any reason to suspect that a projectile is obstructing the barrel,
immediately unload the firearm (See Unloading Instructions) and check the chamber and
the bore. A projectile or some other matter may be lodged some distance down the barrel
where it cannot easily be seen. Check the bore by using a cleaning rod to pass through the
barrel. If a blockage is in the bore, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT WITH
ANOTHER CARTRIDGE, OR BLOW IT OUT WITH A BLANK CARTRIDGE OR A
CARTRIDGE FROM WHICH THE BULLET HAS BEEN REMOVED. SUCH
TECHNIQUE(S) CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE, DAMAGE THE FIREARM
AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. If the blockage can be removed with a
cleaning rod, clean any unburned powder grains from the bore, chambers and mechanism
before resuming shooting. If the blockage cannot be dislodged by tapping it with a cleaning
rod, take the firearm to a gunsmith.

WARNING (Mechanical Malfunctions) - STOP SHOOTING IMMEDIATELY AND

UNLOAD YOUR FIREARM if your firearm develops: a mechanical malfunction; binding or
stoppage; spitting powder/gas; a punctured cartridge primer; a bulged or ruptured cartridge
case; or a sound on firing does not sound quite right. Do NOT try one more shot but unload
your firearm and take it and the ammunition to a qualified gunsmith or send the firearm back
to European American Armory Corp. for examination. Do not assume that the pistol is empty
merely because you checked the chamber. You must also check the bore for
any obstruction inside the barrel.

SAFETY FEATURES
Thumb Safety: The thumb safety is located on the left rear of the pistol just below the
slide. To operate the thumb safety pull the slide to its most rearward position and release.
Then push the thumb safety upward until it fully engages the thumb safety notch (See
Figure 1). The hammer is prevented from moving forward when the trigger is
squeezed. The thumb safety cannot be engaged unless the hammer is fully cocked and
the slide is fully forward.

To disengage, move the thumb safety fully downward until it is completely down. When the
thumb safety is down, the sear is free to release the hammer to fire the pistol when it is
properly gripped and the trigger is squeezed.

Always make sure the gun is pointed in

a safe direction during any safety
movement.

FIG. 1

9
WARNING: Do not touch the trigger while moving the safety. When operating the
safety, make sure you move it to the full extent of its travel in the desired direction, either
fully “on” or fully “off.” Half-safe or partially-safe is UNSAFE.

WARNING: The pistol does not incorporate a magazine disconnect safety, so the pistol
may be fired with the magazine removed from the pistol.

WARNING: The pistol is designed to and WILL FIRE when the trigger is pulled and
the safety mechanism is in the “off” or “fire” position.

Grip Safety: The grip safety is located on the upper rear part of the frame (Figure 6),
it is automatically applied by spring action to prevent rearward travel of the trigger unless
the pistol grip is firmly and properly grasped. The front of the grip safety, which is inside the
pistol frame, is in contact with the rear of the trigger to prevent its rearward travel.
When the pistol grip is positively grasped, the grip safety is rotated out of contact
with rear of trigger to allow trigger movement.

Figure 6
Disconnecter: This safety device (see part n.38 in the exploded view of the pistol,
Page 18) prevents a round from being fired before it is in the chamber with the slide
and barrel locked. When the slide is not fully forward, the disconnecter is depressed; its
lower part disengages the sear, so the hammer cannot be released if the trigger is
squeezed. However, when the slide and barrel are locked, a spring pushes the
disconnecter up into a recess in the slide. This links the trigger and sear so that the pistol
can be fired by squeezing the trigger.

WARNING: Never attempt to check or demonstrate the disconnecter function with a

loaded pistol. Pushing on the muzzle with your hand or any other portion of the body is
extremely dangerous and could result in accidental discharge causing injury, death or
damage to property!

WARNING: Always keep your fingers off the trigger and outside of the trigger guard until
you are ready to pull the trigger and fire the pistol.
WARNING: The pistol is designed to and WILL FIRE when the trigger is pulled and the
safety mechanism is in the “off” or “fire” position.

WARNING: Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction!

Hammer Safety Stop: The hammer safety stop is a half cock notch on the hammer which
prevents it from falling fully forward in the event of a primary sear notch failure. It also
prevents from hitting the firing pin should your fingers slip from the slide or
hammer while cocking the pistol, provided the hammer has been moved past the
stop. The safety stop is not a manual safety. Never under any circumstances use
the safety stop as “half cock” position: it can result i n damage to the sear,
and/or unintentional discharge of the pistol. The safety stop position is an
automatically engaging safety feature and should never be engaged by hand.
10
WARNING: Your pistol has a half cock notch on the hammer. This notch’s sole purpose
is an additional notch on the hammer so as to allow the sear a chance to engage the
hammer if the trigger is not pulled fully to the rear.

Slide Stop: Locks the slide back when engaged. It is located on left hand side of
the gun (See Figure 7).

Magazine Release: Locks or holds the magazine in place and is depressed

to release the magazine (See Figure 8).
Rear Sight: The MC 1911 model has a fully adjustable rear sight (See Figure 9).
Trigger: The MC 1911 model has a single action trigger (See Figure 10).

Figure 7 Figure 8 Figure 9 Figure 10

LOADING AND UNLOADING YOUR PISTOL

WARNING: Make sure the pistol is pointed in a safe direction and the trigger
block safety is engaged at all times while loading and unloading. NEVER allow your
fingers or other objects to contact the trigger while loading or unloading.

WARNING: Do not disengage the sear block safety until you are ready to fire and
have the gun pointed safely downrange.

WARNING: Do not load pistol until you are ready to fire. Use only factory
loaded ammunition .45 ACP manufactured to US Industry and SAAMI
specifications. Do not use damaged ammunition.

11
 TO LOAD
1) Press the magazine release button, holding your hand under the magazine: this will cause
the magazine to fall free of the magazine well, now you can remove the magazine from the
pistol. See Figure 11

2) Load the cartridges into the magazine, placing the round at the top (open end) and
pushing down and back, making sure that the back of the cartridge is facing the rear of the
magazine. Do NOT force the cartridges into the magazine. Do NOT overload the magazine.

3) Push the magazine up into the pistol firmly until the magazine catch locks it into
place. Do NOT slam the magazine into place.

TO LOAD THE CHAMBER

MAKE SURE YOUR FINGERS ARE OFF THE TRIGGER AND AWAY FROM THE
TRIGGER GUARD.
1) With the gun pointed in a safe direction. Move the safety to the “off” position if the
hammer is in the down position or resting position. If the hammer is in the fully cocked
position you may bypass this step.

2) Insert the loaded magazine into the magazine well with bullets pointing forward, and
push up until the magazine is fully seated. A click will be heard when this is done
properly as the magazine catch engages.

3) Do NOT put your fingers or hand in front of the barrel.

4) When you are ready to shoot, grip the rear slide serrations and pull it fully rearward to
cock the hammer and then release. Do not help/push the slide down to the forward
position. Allow the slide to snap forward under full tension of the recoil spring. Keeping
your hand on the slide may cause a misfeed or prevent the slide from fully closing.
Racking the slide back and releasing it will cock the hammer, strip off the top round in
the magazine and chamber it.

5) The pistol is now loaded, cocked and ready to fire.

6) Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and engage the thumb safety IMMEDIATELY
until you are ready to shoot. Always unload immediately after use and before storage.

WARNING: YOUR PISTOL IS NOW LOADED AND READY TO FIRE, IF THE SAFETY
IS MOVED TO THE OFF OR “FIRE” POSITION AND THE TRIGGER IS PULLED THE
GUN WILL FIRE.

12
 TO UNLOAD
Make Sure the Safety is in the “ON” position and the gun is pointed in a safe
direction.
1) Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times and keep the fingers
outside the trigger guard. Keep hands away from muzzle and ejection port.
2) Press the magazine release button and remove the magazine from the pistol.
Place your hand under magazine to prevent it from falling and press magazine
catch to release and eject magazine.
WARNING: The pistol does not incorporate a magazine disconnect safety, so the pistol
may be fired with the magazine removed from the pistol.

WARNING: Removing the magazine does not unload the chamber. If a cartridge is in the
chamber the pistol can fire with the magazine removed.

NOTE: If the slide is fully rearward, step 3 does not apply

3) Using the serrated finger grips pull the slide sharply rearward to extract and eject a round
from the chamber. Keep your hands clear of the ejection port to allow the round to
eject without obstruction. Examine the previously chambered round for any damage; if
damaged, dispose of ammunition properly.
4) Keep the pistol pointing in a safe direction, allow the slide to return forward on an
empty chamber and squeeze the trigger to allow the hammer to fall forward. If the slide
is held to the rear by the slide stop, pull the slide back slightly, then ease the slide
forward. Repeatedly allowing the slide to slam closed on an empty chamber will cause
premature wear and should be avoided.
5) To remove any remaining rounds from the magazine, push the cartridges forward until
they clear the retaining lips.

FIRING YOUR PISTOL

WARNING: Never load a cartridge into the chamber until you are ready to fire the
pistol.

WARNING: Do not disengage the trigger block safety until the pistol is pointed in a safe
direction and you are ready to fire.

WARNING: If a cartridge does not fire and the trigger has been pulled and the
trigger block safety is disengaged, Stop! Then do the following: a) Make sure the gun is
pointed in a safe direction b) Engage the trigger block safety c) Wait 60 seconds d)
Follow the instructions above for unloading the pistol.

MANUFACTURER’S WARNING: This firearm was manufactured to properly perform with the
original parts as designed. It is your duty to make sure any parts you buy are correctly
installed and that neither replacements nor originals are altered or changed. Your gun is a
complex tool with many parts that must relate correctly to other parts for safe and accurate
operation. Putting a gun together wrong or with modified parts can result in a damaged gun,
or personal injury or death to you or others. Always let a qualified gunsmith work on your
gun or at least, check any work not performed by a gunsmith. Firearms safety is your
primary concern. THE GUN OWNER MUST ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
CORRECT REASSEMBLY AND FUNCTIONING OF THE FIREARM AFTER ANY
DISASSEMBLY OR REPLACEMENT OF PARTS.

TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN YOUR PISTOL:

A) Follow procedures for unloading pistol as described previously.
B) Follow procedures for disassembly of pistol as described previously.
C) Materials needed to clean this pistol are: a cleaning rod, cotton bore patches, brass bore
brush, powder solvent, a small soft brush and good quality gun oil.

WARNING: Lead or lead compounds are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, reproductive toxicity, and other serious physical injury. Those who clean firearms should
take protective measures to avoid contact or exposure to such chemicals.

D) Using the bore brush with powder solvent, scrub the interior of the barrel and chambers to
remove any powder and lead residue in the bore. Always and lastly, swab the interior of the
barrels with cotton patch with gun oil to coat and protect the bore and chambers from rust and
corrosion.
E) Any powder fouling on the firing wall, barrel, etc. can be easily cleaned with a
brush and powder solvent.
F) All external surfaces should be wiped down with a light coat of rust preventative. Avoid using
too much oil as powder, dust or other foreign material may get trapped in the oil. This could lead
to congealed deposits which may interfere with the safe and reliable operation of the pistol.

G) USE CAUTION while using solvents in gun bore cleaning. Prolonged or excess contact with
solvents can damage the gun’s bluing and finish. Be sure to wipe away all excess solvent and
then lubricate with oil.
H) A gun should be cleaned after firing. In addition, external parts should be wiped with an oiled
cloth after handling. A light oil is ordinarily all that is necessary in cleaning if the gun has not been
fired or fired very little. If a gun is used frequently, it must be cleaned after each firing and
regularly serviced by a professional gunsmith. If the gun has been stored, remove all excess oil
and/or grease before firing. Always check to be sure that no cleaning patch or other obstruction
remains in the bore or chambers before firing.

DANGER – AMMUNITION WARNING

Firearms may be damaged and serious personal injury or death to the shooter or
bystanders may result from any condition which contributes to the generation of
excessive pressure or uncontrolled release of gas within the firearm. Such adverse conditions can
be caused by bore or chamber obstruction, propellant powder overloads or by defective, incorrect
or improperly loaded and assembled cartridge components. Even the strongest firearm can be
blown up as a result of excessive pressure. It is extremely dangerous to use a cartridge whose
pressure is greater than that developed by cartridges loaded to industry standards.

AMMUNITION (CARTRIDGES) NOTICE

We specifically disclaim responsibility for any damage, personal injury or death occurring in
connection with or as the result of the use of European American Armory Corp. pistols with faulty,
nonstandard, remanufactured, hand-loaded or reloaded ammunition, or with cartridges other than
factory cartridges for which the firearm was originally chambered.

21
LUBRICATION WARNING: Firing a pistol with oil, grease or any other material even partially
obstructing the bore may result in damage to the pistol and personal injury to the shooter and
those nearby. Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on ammunition. If the primer or powder
charge of a cartridge is affected by the lubricant, they may not fully ignite yet the energy from the
primer and/or powder may be sufficient to push the projectile or wad into the bore where it may
become lodged. Firing a subsequent cartridge into the obstructed bore will damage the pistol
and may cause personal injury to the shooter and those nearby. Use lubricants properly. You
are responsible for the proper care and maintenance of your firearm and ammunition.
