It's a Selective Action pistol that can be carried cocked with the safety applied (all shots will be single action) or manually decocked and carried safely in that condition (first shot will be double action then subsequent shots will be single action). This is a fixed barrel direct blowback design similar to the 85 Beretta and is hard to rack the slide. Cocking the hammer first will decrease the effort to rack it considerably. DA pull should be in the 8 to 10 pound range and the SA pull should be in the 4 to 6 pound range.

The single-action trigger pull weight is between 3 and 6 pounds, while the double-action trigger weighs in at 13 pounds.

Double action pull is approx. 8lbs and single action pull is 4.4lbs.
