They have a trigger safety which blocks the trigger from being pulled unless you have your finger in the trigger, then a set of internal mechanisms that also prevent the striker from hitting the cartridge without having the trigger pulled. It consists of:

  • a striker block that must be lifted by fully pulling the trigger, in order to allow the striker to access the rear of the cartridge
  • The striker is brought to full cock as part of the trigger pull, and released. At rest it is in a half-cock position where even if the striker block fails, it does not have enough energy to set off the cartridge
