What is the result of the disconnector in the internal safety feature?

The disconnector is an integral component of the M9 Service Pistol's internal safety features. Its primary function is to prevent the weapon from firing fully automatic, ensuring that it operates strictly in semi-automatic mode. When the trigger is pulled and the weapon fires a round, the disconnector momentarily disconnects the trigger from the firing mechanism to interrupt the firing cycle until the trigger is released and reset. This mechanism is crucial for maintaining control over the rate of fire, allowing for a single shot with each trigger pull. This safety feature is vital to ensure user control and adherence to the intended operational mode of the firearm, which is designed for deliberate shooting rather than automatic discharge.
