Disconnector
This safety device prevents a round being fired before it is in the chamber with
slide and barrel locked. When slide is not fully forward the Disconnector is
depressed; its lower part disengages the sear, so that the hammer cannot be
released if the trigger is squeezed. However, when slide and barrel are locked,
a spring pushes the Disconnector up into a recess in the slide; this links trigger
*
and sear so that the pistol can be fired by squeezing the trigger.
LU CAUTION: NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHECK OR DEMONSTRATE THE
DISCONNECTOR FUNCTION WITH A LOADED PISTOL. Pushing on the
muzzle with your hand or any other portion of the body is extremely danger-
ous and could result in accidental discharge causing injury, death, or damage
to property.
Inertia Firing Pin
The Firing Pin, which is shorter than its housing, is held to the rear by a spring
and cannot protrude through face of slide unless a hammer blow overcomes the
spring force and the inertia of the pin.
