FUNCTION OF THE PISTOL
The hammer is cocked by pulling the slide back-
wards. By releasing the slide to the front position,
a cartridge is taken from the magazine and put into
the barrel. The pistol is loaded and ready to re.
To trigger and re the cartridge, the trigger is pulled
backwards, which releases the hammer. Under the
eect of its spring, the hammer moves forward,
strikes the ring pin, which strikes the primer of the
cartridge and the ring is done. After the cartridge
is red, under the eect of powder gas, the bullet
comes out of the barrel and the slide moves back-
wards, the cartridge case is extracted and ejected.
At the same time, the hammer is being cocked.
Under the eect of recoil spring, the slide moves
forward and brings a cartridge into the barrel.
To re the next cartridge it is necessary to pull the
trigger and further process is done as previously ex-
plained.
When the last cartridge is red, the coupling (A) is
lifted and its lug comes into the notch on the slide.
The slide is kept in rear position (Fig. 2).
To continue shooting, it is necessary to replace the
empty magazine with a loaded one. To take out the
magazine, it is necessary to press the magazine re-
lease button (B) and take the magazine out (Fig. 2).
When a loaded magazine is put into the pistol, the
coupling (A) is pushed downwards. In that way, the
