It disconnects the trigger from the sear. Visualize the pistol firing- you pull the trigger, sear moves, allowing hammer to fall, gun fires, slide recoils, ejects empty, slides forward, chambering fresh round- but you still have the trigger pulled. Without the disconnector, the hammer would have followed the slide forward, either being out of cocked position for the next shot, or causing full auto fire. However, the disconnector acts faster than your reflexes, and unhooks the trigger from the sear, until you release the trigger, and pull it again.

How effective was the Type 94 Japanese handgun in World War 2?

Effective as an 8mm pistol cartridge can be; as it fired the same round as the Type 14 Nambu. Took some understanding of the safety device, as the sear often was set off, if the safety wasn't on. Not nearly as produced as the regular Nambu pistol, and not nearly as attractive, which probably is why the pistol never really caught on in popularity.


Can you shot today amo in a 1901 model colt 38 us army?

The pistol fired the .38 Long Colt cartridge, not to be confused with the .38 Smith & Wesson Special (.38 Special), .38 Super, .38 Short Colt, or any other cartridge marked as .38 or .380. That is the only ammunition type which can be fired through this pistol. Current production .38 Long Colt ammo may be run through this pistol. However, I would advise you to have a competent gunsmith inspect the pistol to ensure it is in a condition where it is safe to fire first.


Does the glock 17 gen 4 only come in double action or can it come in the double action single action version too?

It only comes as a striker fired pistol - the design cannot accommodate a SA-type action (and the existing action isn't DA, to that end, as the striker fired mechanic is much different from a hammer fired mechanism).
