What's the use of a pistol hammer?
This process can be divided into two opposing processes - hammering and resetting, which make it difficult for the shooter to control the position and greatly affect the accuracy of firing. If the hammer is struck before firing, the procedure can be reduced to one - the firing process, which increases firing accuracy.In addition, the early pistol is single action, love watching western movies should pay attention to when using the colt revolver shooting cowboy, a hand pulling hammer, hand gun trigger shooting. This is because at that time the trigger was simple in structure and could only hold the hammer. When it pulled the trigger, it played only one role - releasing the hammer. The pistol is called a single action pistol.
In this process, a series of movements cause the muzzle to swing, and only a rigorous training can reduce the range of the muzzle swing (attention is reduced rather than overcome), making shooting more stable and precise.
That's not the truth。The hammer is the role of the bullets hit the firing pin, ignition ignition of propellant, let the bullets fired out.The hammer moves through the control of the trigger, the trigger for the hammer back to the firing position, the hammer spring tensile force storage, provide enough energy for firing, then card release of iron hammer, hammer to do the action in the attack hit the hammer hammer spring under the action of.
The modern pistol has a single action, but most of them are double acting, buckle the trigger in the process of promoting the two functions of the hammer and firing in place, in order to ensure the first hit rate, so when possible, experienced striker will always be the hammer pressure, the maximum possible to improve the firing accuracy. Only in case of emergency will direct firing, to seize the initiative.
