Disconnected

Delving deeper into how the 1st Gen S&W Semi-Auto works...

There's two things that disable the trigger on this Model 59.  It holds true of the 3rd Gen as well.

The safety and the magazine disconnect.

Both are nubbins in the slide which press down on a lever in the frame.

The safety also trips the sear and drops the hammer.

Both levers press the trigger bar out of engagement with the hammer and sear.

Simple.

    I had one of those back in the day. Sold it when I was on hard times during medic school. Good little pistol.
