Descripton of the Action of the M1911
The M1911 is a recoil-operated, self-loading hand magazine-fed,weapon. It contains an inertia-type firing pin that makes it impossible for the firing pin to discharge or touch the primer, except on receiving the impact of the hammer of the recoil spring forces. After shot is fired, the action retracts rearward upon a spring which drives the slide forward, feeding a live cartridge from the magazine into the chamber. The weapon is now ready to fire again.
b. The pistol is designed to fire caliber .45 cartridge ball ammunition and the magazine holds seven cartridges. The upper cartridge is stripped from the magazine and forced into the chamber by the forward motion of the slide. The pistol will fire once at each squeeze of the trig ger and when the last cartridge, in the magazine, has been fired the slide remains
open. The rate of fire is limited only by the ability of the operator to insert the magazine and to squeeze the trigger.
