The
Beretta 89 Standard is a "blow back"
semi-automatic pistol.
The "blow back" is the effect that is the pressure from the
combustion gasses recoiling the
slide,
ejecting the
fired cartridge, cocking the
hammer, and then activating the
recoil spring. The slide will then move back forward, causing the next round to enter the
chamber.
This weapon is designed for
competitions and
range firing.
