Understanding the Trigger
Mechanism of the Encore
®
Pistol
The Encore pistol has an automatic hammer block built into the internal
working mechanism. The hammer block is an integral part of the sear. The
automatic hammer block prevents the hammer from traveling forward and
making contact with the firing pin, unless the trigger has been pulled and
held fully rearward.
