Firearms can be extremely hazardous, inherently dangerous and can cause death or serious physical injury. Firearms should be handled and used ONLY by persons who have been properly trained and qualified in their use, handling and safekeeping. If you have purchased a new handgun, be sure to first read the safety instructions which accompanied it before using the handgun in conjunction with any CCW Breakaways products.
All CCW Breakaways products are carefully designed and manufactured from the best available materials to perform their intended function properly with various sized firearms. Use of CCW Breakaways products with firearms for which they are not designed, or with firearms that have been modified or customized or otherwise changed from the original manufacturer’s specifications, greatly increases the likelihood of an accidental and potentially dangerous discharge. This may result in death or serious physical injury to the user or a bystander. Examples of modified or customized firearms include, but are not limited to the installation of trigger shoes, wide target triggers and hammers, custom grips, grip wraps, grip adapters, addition of tape or rubber bands to the grip, extended safeties, laser sights, sights ribs, compensators and internal “action jobs” which tend to compromise the margin of safety intended by the manufacturer. This warning applies even when aftermarket accessories are offered by the firearm manufacturer. Also, the use of an improperly maintained, abused, or defective firearm increases the likelihood of an accidental discharge at any time during its intended use, from drawing and to fire, loading, unloading, carrying and storage.
DO NOT use any CCW Breakaways product with any firearm that has been abused, is defective or has been improperly maintained.
If your CCW Breakaways product becomes defective, or, if you have any questions regarding its use, maintenance or adjustment, immediately cease using the product and contact us. After purchasing your CCW Breakaways, test with an UNLOADED handgun to insure proper fit and to become familiar with the CCW Breakaways features. Double check to ensure that the magazine to your firearm has been removed and firing chamber(s) are empty in your firearm when learning how to use CCW Breakaways pants.
DO NOT ALTER IN ANY WAY CCW BREAKAWAYS PANTS TO ACCOMMODATE NON STANDARD HANDGUNS OR OTHER EQUIPMENT FOR WHICH THE CCW BREAKAWAYS PANT WAS NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED.
Following are additional safety warnings to aid in the use of CCW Breakaways pants:
-
Always keep the muzzle of your firearm pointed in a safe direction.
-
Always keep your finger OFF the trigger when drawing your firearm or returning it to its position.
-
When drawing a firearm, always control the muzzle. Be sure that the muzzle does not point at any portion of your body, especially your non-shooting hand.
-
Practicing “fast draw” or “quick draw” techniques without the guidance of a certified firearms instructor, can result in an accidental discharge which may result in death or serious physical injury.
-
Never rely totally on your firearm’s mechanical safety.
-
Always assume your firearm can be fired at any time, even with the safety mechanisms engaged.
-
AVOID CARRYING A FIREARM WITH A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER. It is recommended that a round is not chambered until immediately before you fire your pistol. We do not recommend that pistols be carried “cocked and locked” (round in chamber, hammer cocked, safety on) also known as Condition 1 carry, with any CCW Breakaways product.
-
If you insist on carrying a firearm with a round in the chamber, you should set your manual safety to the “safe” position. Glock owners should use the aid of trigger blocks such as the “SAF-T-BLOK.” If you own a Glock, we strongly recommend that you purchase one of these items. They are available for sale on our website.
No holster system can completely secure a firearm from unauthorized removal by an assailant or adversary or from falling out, including CCW Breakaways Pants. It is ultimately the user’s responsibility to exercise caution and to practice weapon retention techniques. It is also incumbent upon the user to be familiar with the tactical and procedural guidelines regarding the use and carrying of firearms in close proximity to potentially dangerous individuals.
IF YOUR CCW BREAKAWAYS PRODUCT BECOMES DEFECTIVE IN ANY WAY, CEASE USING IT IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE.
All warranties of merchantability or fitness for intended use either expressed or implied, and any liability for incidental or consequential damages resulting from the use of any CCW Breakaways product are disclaimed and excluded from the retail sales transaction. At the time of the original retail sale and delivery, the purchaser and NOT the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer assumes the entire risk and responsibility for determining the suitability and fitness of the product for the particular use intended. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.
CCW Breakaways is concerned about the products it sells, and we solicit comments or inquiries regarding the safety of our products. Please feel free to contact us should you have any concerns.
