DA/SA variant will revert to the single-action mode on each shot unless the operator physically decocks the hammer by way of the decocking lever. On the double-action/single-action variant, pulling the trigger will cock the hammer and immediately release it firing the first chambered cartridge. All subsequent cartridges will be fired in the single-action mode because the slide automatically recocks the hammer after each shot is fired.
