Q

What are the 5 safety features of the gun?

A
  1. Double action only - pressure is applied to the trigger until the hammer is released and firing pin is struck
  2. Firing pin safety lever - allows the pistol to fire only when the trigger is pulled entirely to the rear
  3. Deliberate trigger pull
    - 8 - 12 lbs
  4. Magazine disconnect
    - when the magazine is not fully seated, the gun should not fire, preventing unintentional discharge when changing magazines or performing other manipulations
  5. Disconnector
    - When the slide is out of battery, the gun will not fire, preventing injury from an explosion out of the ejection port
