2 Functioning of the iP1 SmartSystem – Personalized
The following describes how the iP1 pistol functions when the magazine is inserted, a round is in the
chamber, the trigger switch is in the right (released) position, and the synced iW1 wristwatch with
the PIN code entered and the pistol feature activated is worn on the wrist of your shooting hand:
When the backstrap is squeezed towards the front of the iP1 pistol, the backstrap switch is
activated and communication between the iP1 pistol and iW1 wristwatch is initiated;
When the trigger is pulled slightly to the rear, the iP1 pistol is activated for firing and the LED
lights up green.
When the trigger is pulled fully back within 60 seconds, depending on the position of the ham-
mer, the following happens:
If the hammer is already cocked (in the rear position), it is immediately released (fired in
single-action mode) or if the hammer is not cocked (in the forward position) it will first be fully
cocked and then immediately released (fired in double-action mode);
When the hammer is released, it strikes the firing pin, which fires the cartridge in the cham-
ber;
The recoil energy from the cartridge being fired causes the slide to move rearward, extracts
the fired cartridge casing from the chamber, ejects it, and cocks the hammer;
The recoil spring then brings the slide forward to the closed position, during which it strips the
next cartridge from the magazine and transports it to the chamber.
When the trigger is released, the iP1 pistol is ready to be fired again, until the last cartridge
in the magazine has been fired, after which the slide release will lock the slide in the open
(rearward) position.
Once you pull the trigger slightly to the rear, the iP1 pistol is activated for firing. You must pull
the trigger fully to the rear within 60 seconds or the iP1 pistol will return to inactive mode to
conserve battery power. If you do not pull the trigger fully to the rear within 60 seconds, you
must completely release the trigger to reactivate the pistol to allow it to be fired.
