When A Pistol Is ___ - Every Round Fires Double Action With The Hammer At Rest Against The Rear Of The Slide. Every Time The Trigger Is Pulled To The Rear - It Manually Cocks And Releases The Hammer To Fire The Pistol. As The Slide Cycles And Goes Forward - The Hammer Safety Follows - Coming To Rest Against The Slide's Rear. The Hammer Never Stays Cocked. The Weapon's Trigger Pull Is The Same Each Time.
