9.2 Function sequence when firing
9.2.1 Function sequence when firing
with single action trigger
– Trigger 16 is pulled.
– Trigger bar 24 pivots safety lever 5
and safety lock lever 32 forward.
The safety lock lever pushes the
safety lock 54 up, thereby liberating
the firing pin 51.
– At the same time, the safety lever 5
disengages the sear 2 from the SA
notch of the hammer 7. Hammer 7
is then released.
– The round is discharged 
(see section 9.2.3).

case and automatic reloading
9.3.1 Unlocking
– Blowback force generated with the discharge thrusts
the slide 50 to the rear.
– This separates the safety lever 5, the safety lock lever
32 and the safety lock 54. The firing pin lock is effective
again.
– Slide 50 depresses the trigger bar 24, thereby
disconnecting the trigger bar 24 from the safety 
lever 5 and the safety lock lever 32.
– Barrel 57 is tilted down and unlocked by locking 
insert 39.
Safety with slide position not fully closed:
If the slide 50 is not fully closed, the register between the
safety lever 5, safety lock lever 32 and safety lock 54 is
interrupted. The trigger bar 24 is also depressed by the
slide 50. Further trigger functions are consequently also
interrupted.

ejection and hammer cocking
– Sear spring presses sear 2 and
safety lever 5 into their initial
positions.
– The empty case H is removed by
the extractor 53 and expelled by
the ejector 41.
– As the slide 50 recoils up to its
stop, it cocks the hammer 7 and is
then caught in the SA notch by 
the sear 2.
– The slide 50 is pushed forward
with the pressure of the compre-
ssed recoil spring 62 and the next
round is fed in (see section 9.1.2). 
The barrel 57 locks up with the slide
50 again.
The pistol is ready to fire.
The hammer 7 is cocked.
