P5

The Deftech P5 is a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol produced by Deftech Industries of Surea. It is a compact, lightweight pistol with an unconventional trigger mechanism called "fast action". The frame is composed of an aluminum alloy with a matte finish, while the slide is of blued steel.

P5 was produced in 1999. It is recoil operated and uses a conventional Browning-type locking system.

Design
The "fast action" trigger mechanism allows the hammer to be decocked while still keeping the mainspring compressed. A light pull on the trigger causes the hammer to flick back, after which the pistol would behave in conventional single-action (SA) mode.

The pistol can also be fired in conventional single- and double-action (DA) modes. The "fast action" mode allows the trigger travel of DA mode and the trigger weight of SA mode. This allows a more accurate first shot due to the lighter weight of the trigger. It is also safer due to the longer trigger travel required to fire the pistol.

The P5 uses a 15-round staggered box magazine with a reversible magazine release button that can be positioned for either right or left-handed shooters.

The M9 features multiple internal safeties including an ambidextrous safety and 3-dot sights. It also has a firing pin block, that prevents the firing pin from moving without the trigger being pulled, and a firing pin striker that rotates when the safety lever is engaged preventing the firing pin from being hit even if the hammer falls. The M9 also has an ambidextrous external safety lever allowing both left and right handed people to comfortably engage the safety mechanism.
