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.
