8. Description
of the functions
At the instant a shot is fired the firearm is locked.
The locking ribs of the barrel (1) engage in the
locking grooves of the slide (2). The barrel is
retained in its position by the slide stop.
The pressure of the powder gas drives the pro-
jectile out of the barrel (1) and at the same time
pushes back the slide (2) as well as the barrel (1).
After a recoil motion of approximately 3 mm the
barrel (1) is lowered by the slide stop (4) which
slides in the control cam (I). It separates from
the slide (2) and rests against the frame (3). The
firearm is unlocked.
The slide (1) continues its recoil motion until it
contacts the frame (2).
During the recoil of the slide (1) the extractor
ejects the empty cartridge from the chamber.
The cartridge hits the ejector nose and is ejected.
The tensioned recoil spring (3) pulls the slide (1)
forward again.
During this movement the next cartridge is fed
from the magazine (4) into the chamber. The
last part of the forward movement of the slide
(1) coincides with the movement of the barrel
(5), and the control cam (I) in conjunction with
the slide stop (6) pivots the barrel (5) upward.
The locking ribs (II) of the barrel (5) engage in
the locking grooves (III) of the slide (1).
The firearm is now locked and ready to be fired.
