Magazine Assembly
|
The Magazine Assembly holds 15 cartridges in place for feeding and clambering of ammunition. As the last round is fired, the Magazine Spring exerts upward pressure on the Magazine Follower. This process exerts upward pressure on the Slide Stop and locks the Slide in the rear position, indicating that the magazine is empty.
