👉 A pull weapon, also known as a push or pull firearm, is a type of handgun designed with a trigger mechanism that requires the user to pull the trigger back to fire the weapon. This design contrasts with bolt-action firearms, where the trigger is pulled forward to advance the hammer towards the rear of the barrel. In a pull weapon, the trigger pull typically moves a mechanism that releases the sear or bolt, allowing the hammer to strike the bullet and propel it out of the chamber. This design often results in faster reloading times and a more compact, lightweight weapon, making it popular for self-defense and hunting. However, pull weapons generally require more skill to handle effectively due to their reliance on precise trigger pull and finger placement.
