Function
The magazine safety mechanically blocks the trigger or firing mechanism when the magazine is not fully inserted, preventing the pistol from firing even if a round remains in the chamber. This is a critical passive safety feature — proper engagement and disengagement with magazine insertion and removal must be verified after installation.

Installation Note
