COLT DETECTIVE SPECIAL
|
|||
|
Description of Operation
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Pulling the trigger in double action mode
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
a. The rearward pull of the trigger causes the trigger to pivot
|
|||
|
about a stud raising the rear bevel of the trigger. The hand is
|
|||
|
attached to the trigger's rear area and raises with the trigger.
|
|||
|
b. The rising hand presses against the forward underside of the
|
|||
|
rebound lever and causes it to begin to rise also.
|
|||
|
c. The right middle side of the rebound lever (tang) raises the rear
|
|||
|
of the bolt and the front of the bolt begins to lower as its
|
|||
|
pivots around its bolt screw attached to the right side of the
|
|||
|
frame.
|
|||
|
d. The top middle portion of the rebound lever presses against the
|
|||
|
lower spring leaf. This starts compressing the spring.
|
|||
|
e. The back of the trigger pushes upwards on the strut (Colt's name
|
|||
|
for the sear), which causes the hammer to pivot rearward.
|
|||
|
f. The rearward motion of the hammer pulls down the upper spring
|
|||
|
leaf. The upper spring leaf is attached to the hammer's stirrup.
|
|||
|
g. The safety lever (Colt's name for the hammer block) is pulled
|
|||
|
downward by the articulating connecting link to the rear of the
|
|||
|
trigger. This causes the safety lever to clear the firing pin
|
|||
|
hole in the frame in front of the hammer.
|
|||
|
h. When the hammer has traveled about half way back, the rear of the
|
|||
|
bolt slips off the tang of the rebound lever, raising the front
|
|||
|
end of the bolt and locking the cylinder.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. The trigger bevel clears the sear.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
a. The upper spring leaf pulls upwards on the hammer's stirrup,
|
|||
|
pivoting the hammer forward.
|
|||
|
b. The firing pin attached to the front of the hammer clears the
|
|||
|
firing pin hole in the frame and strikes the primer, discharging
|
|||
|
the cartridge.
