GRIP SAFETY
The grip safety is located on the upper rear portion
of the frame immediately below the hammer and is
automatically engaged through spring pressure. It
prevents the rearward movement of the trigger. To
disengage, grip the pistol grip firmly. This will allow
grip safety to move out of contact with rear of
trigger, allowing the gun to fire.
DISCONNECTOR
The disconnector prevents a round from being
fired prior to being properly seated in the chamber
with the slide and barrel locked. If the slide is not
fully forward, the disconnector is depressed and
disengages the sear so that the hammer cannot
drop if the trigger is pulled. With the slide fully
forward and the barrel locked, a spring pushes the
disconnector into a recess in the bottom of the
slide. The disconnector now engages the sear so
that the hammer can move forward when the
trigger is pulled.
