Quand on insère un nouveau chargeur, le mécanisme se libère automatiquement ou on le libère manuellement. Alors, la culasse revient vers l'avant et introduit une cartouche dans la chambre. Sur les pistolets automatiques, il est appelé «arrêtoir de glissière». 2, record 1, French, - arr%C3%AAtoir%20de%20culasse
