PERATION PRINCIPLES Yavuz 16 pistols ore semi-autamatic firearms operating on the short recoil prlnciple and using a falling block locking system. Upon firing, the pressure developed by combustíon gos in the chamber recoíls the slido and barrel assembly together in a shart distance. After o short run of slídebarrel assembly, the locking block falls and releases the slide letting it recoil while the barrel stops against frame. Period of its rearward movement, the slide extracts and ejeds the fired cortridge case, cocks the hammer and compress the recoil spring. With the force of recoil spring tense, the slide then moves forward feeding the next cartridge from the magazine into the chamber and causing barrel-slide locking. The slide stays open after the lastcartridge in the magazine has been fired and ejeded.

Be sure Ihat the chomber is empty and the barrel is free from dirt and obstrudions (PICTURE2). If you do not intend to fire, keep your fingers off the trigger. Check the loaded chamber indicator (PICTURE3) if it is loaded or unloaded. MC 21, MC 23 and MC 23.45 Models don't hove chamber 'oaded indicator.
