As with most human weapons, when the trigger at the top of the grip is depressed, the weapon is discharged. The energy of the expanding propellant gasses causes the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_slide slide] to reciprocate into the open position, expelling the spent casing of the round just fired. The weapon’s recoil mechanism then moves the slide back into place, stripping a fresh round from the magazine and chambering it to make the weapon ready to fire once again.
