WARNING
Know Your Firearm
Before You Attempt To Use It!
Designed as a Hunting/Sports Pistol or Rifle, the G2 Contender is
uniquely different from other guns.
Its single shot, break open action is
relatively simple to understand and safe when the required ingredients of
“common sense” and “safe gun handling” are applied to its use and care.
The G2 Contender operates differently than other break open firearms on the
market. It is important that you identify your firearm as being a G2 Contender
in conjunction with reading these instructions. They apply only to the G2
Contender Pistol and Rifle.
However, do not assume that a familiarity
with other firearms has equipped you with a knowledge of “safe
gun handling” as these words now apply to your G2 Contender.
Each
gun design is different from another and each functions accordingly.
All machines, be they chain saws, automobiles, lawn mowers or firearms are
built to function as
mindless mechanical slaves. They serve only as
well as your intellect dictates
. Carefully used, your chain saw will cut up
a winter’s supply of firewood. Carelessly used, your chain saw will cut other
things with able willingness. A firearm is no different-it is equally non-selec-
tive as to target or purpose.
Inasmuch as the responsibility for the use of a firearm rests with its user, you
must understand the mechanics before you can shoulder the responsibility
for its use. That is what this booklet is all about.

1 If you are unfamiliar with firearms seek professional instruc-
tion.
Qualified organizations such as local gun clubs, the National Rifle Asso-
ciation and State Hunter Safety programs offer courses which teach safe gun
handling and proper hunting procedure. Those who are unfamiliar with
firearms should seek guidance from an instructor who is qualified by one of
these organizations.
2 Always point the muzzle of your G2 Contender downrange.
The
possibility of accidental discharge is a constant danger when using a firearm.
If the muzzle is pointed downrange, away from yourself, other people,
