Who Can Use this Gun?
The SS (Short Slide) D&L Professional Model is a compact handgun popular among professionals, law enforcement officials, and civilians for its capacity to hold eight rounds in the magazine.
This model features a stainless-steel slide with serrations on top to allow the user better grip when reloading and ambidextrous thumb safety, short trigger reach, and a non-slip grip to ensure the operator maintains control.
How to Practically Use this Pistol
D&L’s Professional Model is a single-action, recoil-operated pistol that combines the features of an easy-to-use self-loader and a centerfire rifle. Use in low light or no light conditions. This is because glare from ambient light will not intrude on your target due to the slide’s design.
Secondly, use in close quarters. The pistol is small enough for a user with one hand to operate it and can be maneuvered around corners easily. Try using the handgun at an indoor range or shoot house for practice!
What Are the Essential Parts of this Gun?
The first essential part of this pistol is the slide and moves back and forth when it cycles. The slide may also contain any mechanism for extracting spent cartridges or loading new rounds into the firing chamber, such as an ejector rod to push out unfired bullets and a feeder arm to insert fresh ones.
In firearms terminology, this portion of the firearm is called the barrel assembly. The slide can be made in one piece, or it could have a top plate, with slides over the frame to cover the whole gun. It is typically located below and forward of the hammer on semi-automatic pistols but above and behind for revolvers.
The second essential part is the barrel, a cylindrical metal tube usually made of steel or aluminum, which encases one end of the bullet and provides stability during firing for rifled firearms.
The chamber (the bore) at this closed-end holds a round lead ball bearing called a cartridge, which may be inserted into the barrel’s opening in one of a variety of ways. Some barrels are fixed to be used with an individual gun, while others can quickly swap between multiple pieces and models of firearms.
The muzzle is at the end where the bullet exits from, usually into a conical steel or copper shape called a choke that constricts shooting patterns for better range and accuracy. The hammer is a metal lever that strikes the firing pin to discharge internal primer-ignited gunpowder to fire the weapon’s cartridge.
How to Store and Take Care of this Pistol
Store in a clean, dry place. Do not expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. Clean and lubricate the pistol as needed with an appropriate gun cleaning kit. Wear protective eye gear when using solvents that can irritate eyes or cause blindness – many are toxic if swallowed too!
The SS (Short Slide) D&L Professional Model is a fantastic and affordable way to get into the sport of shooting. It’s lightweight, accurate, recoil-free, customizable, ergonomic, and economical as well!
