Functioning
When the pistol's trigger is pulled, the trigger axis is rotated forward together with the
trigger bar, which engages the hammer and then the hammer block. After about 85
degrees rotation, the trigger bar disengages, holding the hammer block forward of the
hammer, which then rotates forward to strike the firing pin.
The ignited powder gas drives the bullet forward through the barrel and simultaneously
drives the slide and barrel backwards. After about 1/4" (6 mm), the barrel is unlocked
by the assembly pin and releases the slide to travel back, extracting the case. On it's
way back, the slide is gradually slowed down by the recoil springs.
