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 preventative steps may result
in innocent lives being lost, and in some
circumstances may result in your liability
for these deaths.
The certification below is required only for handguns sold in the
United States with a barrel length shorter than 3”.
Smith & Wesson Corp. hereby certifies average accuracy test results
for all new handguns with a barrel shorter than 3” as follows:

7 yards 14 yards 21 yards

1.7” 3.9” 6.3”

This certification is based on tests conducted by Smith & Wesson

Corp. using a fixed handgun, rest and firing ammunition manufac-
tured by a member of the Shooting Arms and Ammunition
Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI) as defined in ANSI/SAAMI Z299.3-
1993.

This certification represents actual tests based on several hand-

guns, selected at random. Your particular handgun may have accu-
racy better than the results stated in this certification.
