This guide details the advanced technique of inertia firing a Hammerli Free Pistol, as demonstrated by firearms enthusiast JaredAF. It covers loading, cocking, setting the highly sensitive hair trigger, and inducing discharge through a sharp backward jerk of the pistol. The demonstration highlights the mechanics of specialized target pistols and the importance of understanding trigger systems.

Quick Summary

Learn the advanced technique of inertia firing a Hammerli Free Pistol. This involves loading a .22 LR round, cocking the action, and setting the highly sensitive hair trigger. A sharp backward jerk of the pistol then causes discharge via inertia, demonstrating specialized target pistol mechanics.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the set trigger on a Hammerli Free Pistol work?

The Hammerli Free Pistol features a specialized set trigger. A silver lever on the side is depressed to 'set' the trigger, making it extremely sensitive and requiring minimal force to discharge the firearm, often activated by inertia.

What is inertia firing in firearms?

Inertia firing is a phenomenon where the momentum generated by moving a firearm causes its highly sensitive trigger to activate, resulting in a discharge without direct finger pressure. This technique requires a deep understanding of the firearm's mechanics.

Is inertia firing a safe technique to practice?

Inertia firing is an advanced technique demonstrated here on a specialized target pistol. It should only be attempted by experienced individuals in a controlled environment with strict safety protocols, including a safe backstop and unloaded firearm verification.

What caliber is the Hammerli pistol shown?

The Hammerli pistol demonstrated in the video is chambered in .22 LR (Long Rifle). This rimfire cartridge is commonly used in target shooting due to its low recoil and affordability.
