NOMENCLATURE
Sights have high-visibility
white dots both front and
rear. Both sights can be
adjusted for windage.
Frame is a rigid one-piece
polyurethane grip frame
reinforced with long glass fiber.
Double-action mechanism and strongly curved
trigger provide that cocking and firing can be
accomplished with a single pull of the trigger.
Oversize trigger guard permits
shooting with gloved hand.
The magazine latch permits positive
retention and quick removal of magazine.
Slide stop holds the slide
open and is activated
automatically when last shot
is fired (if magazine is in
pistol), or can be manually
operated.
Slide’s open-top design minimizes
possibility of jamming, enables shooter to
clear any malfunction easily by hand.
Grooved, exposed hammer
spur enables the shooter to
cock the hammer easily for
accurate single-action
firing if desired.
When ambidextrous manual
safety is in “safe” position,
the firing pin is cammed
forward into the slide. This
simultaneously places the
firing pin out of reach of
the hammer and locks the
firing pin in a neutral
position, preventing the
firing pin from movement
toward the cartridge.

The Magazine Disconnect is
designed to prevent the pistol from
being fired when the magazine is
removed, even if a live round
remains in the firing chamber.
Loaded Chamber Indicator
protrudes from the top of the slide
and provides a visual indication
when a round is present in the
firing chamber.
Internal Lock can be used to lock
the manual safety in the “ON” (S)
position by use of a key-operated
locking device. (See “Operation of
the Manual Safety,” p. 11.)
The Accessory Rail (unavailable
on some models) accepts most
lights and sighting devices
designed to fit the M1913
Picatinny Standard Rail.
