What does "cycle the action" mean? Specifically, in

>>34212885
The action of a gun is whatever mechanism ejects a spent casing and primes the gun to fire. In pistols, the slide moves back when fired, cocking the hammer and ejecting the spent casing. As it moves forward again, it strips a round off the top of the magazine and forces it into the chamber. You can also pull the slide back manually, normally to load the gun, but also to clear a malfunction or jam.

TL;DR it's pulling the moving bit at the top of a pistol.

This is the second time I've seen this same exact thread with the same exact OP pic

Yes, that's exactly what it means. Now stop being nogunz by the end of the summer (enough time to save up and buy) or stop lurking here.

Without using any technical terms -- primarily because I don't know many -- the "action" is the system involving the feeding and firing sequence. In this case, the hammer strikes the primer, the bullet is fired, the gas causes the slide to reverse and eject the case, and the next round is loaded into the chamber, due to the spring around the barrel, which causes the slide to move forward. So, if you "outran" the trigger, the firing pin would have been struck prior to a round being reloaded into the chamber. In which case, the best option is to pull the slide back, or "cock it", and attempt to fire again.

Why do you make this thread every fucking day? This is easily the fourth time.
