The CDA aka LEM trigger is a dual-stage trigger that always fires from a hammer down DA mode, but has an internal mechanism that is cocked with each cycle of the action. It provides a cocked double-action trigger pull of 20 N (4.5 lb f ) (+4/-2 N) and an uncocked double-action trigger pull of 51 N (11.5 lb f ) (±5 N).
The CPX-1 is equipped with a slide stop and locks open when the last round is fired. [2] The handgun has an ambidextrous manual safety that is frame mounted. SCCY designed the pistol with an internal hammer and has a double action trigger pull. All parts of the CPX-1 pistol, except for the springs, are manufactured in-house by SCCY.
Exposed two-piece hammer with spur. It uses a V1-type "light" Trigger Return Spring (TRS). The cocking piece can be decocked by pressing the decocker button, located at the rear of the slide, next to the hammer. This spurred hammer-version was designed for the European market. V1 CDA aka LEM 20 N (4.5 lb f) 14 mm (0.55 in)
Striker-fired pistols, on the other hand, do not have a hammer, so the only way to return the trigger to its longer pull (safer) state is by means of a decocking or detensioning lever which actually releases the tension in the striker's spring without allowing firing pin full travel and internal safeties disengagement (such as the firing pin ...
The blowback from the firing mechanism automatically re-cocks the hammer after the gun is fired, such that each subsequent shot only requires the hammer to be released (single action). A decocker, if present on the pistol, can be used to return the hammer to its decocked position to prevent negligent discharges.
The pistol is hammer fired, as opposed to striker fired; this allows the pistol to be fired in either Single action or Double action mode. Its safety mechanism is based on the safety found on a M1911. It is possible to cock the hammer to the rear and engage the safety simultaneously to carry the weapon "cocked and locked".
The T95 Standard models feature slide mounted hammer drop safety/decocker lever (ambidextrous as an option). Unlike most other semi-automatic pistols, the Tanfoglio Combat/Standard slide rides inside the frame rails rather than outside, similar to the SIG P210. This provides a very tight slide-to-frame fit, very good barrel lock-up and ...
The "safety" lever serves only as a hammer decocker. This action is similar to that of most SIG pistols. Type D is a double-action-only pistol. The hammer follows the slide to the uncocked position with every shot, requiring a double-action trigger pull for each shot. There is no manual safety, half-cock hammer notch, or hammer drop lever.
