Cocking phase

The cocking phase is where the Colt 1911 differs from single action weapons. It means that this weapon automatically arms the pistol for the next shot, by pulling back the hammer. When the slide is moving backwards it pushes against the hammer which causes the hammer to rotate to its starting position. The mainspring will be pushed back and because the is no more pressure on the trigger, the sear will stop the hammer from rotating and firing again. The gun is now ready to fire the next bullet.
