A long past issued combat weapon of the US Armed forces when you did not qualify with it - just fired it to be " familiar " with it's function.
Ther are only 2 ways modern firearms/pistols function or operate. manual or automatic.
So what part of the " automatic " function is said to be Semi.
Did you know that revolvers,6 shooters are automatic ? It only takes one hand to hold & fire every round = automatic !
Colt invented the American automatic pistol & " Semi " never then was a part of it's name.
It was fully automatic.No manual - 2 handed manipulation required.
The name semi is a superfluous part of the function & should be ignored by the well informed.
I used the full auto term for a machine-gun in error on purpose, knowing it really does not apply to the terms & functions of the pistol in question.
