I was always fascinated by the Semmerling as a new gunnie interested in carry pieces.
Just did another search and as of yet there are no videos of one being fired out there. I still can’t picture how these things are operated.
I actually said “Finally!” when I finally read about the PM45. Finally a carry gun that exists in the wild and doesn’t operate on any bizarre actions while still being pocket-small!
The technique was to fire a shot, hook your trigger finger over the top of the slide, push the slide forward, then pull it back, all with the trigger finger.
I had to send that to a friend. Too funny.
Hahaha! Oh that’s great.
Nice to see someone wasn’t as slothful as I was on the funny.

HAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHA!!!
It’s even more WTF when Weerd enthusiastically disappears into his basement, then reappears with the flute in mouth playing a tune…
I do it just for the look of abject HORROR on your face, Jay!
I need a Cockcam for the flute to capture such reactions!
No, hipster is the old model http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semmerling

Found a verbal description of the action here http://pistolsmith.com/vintage-pistols/21844-semmerling-45-a.html
“You didn’t use two hands.
The technique was to fire a shot, hook your trigger finger over the top of the slide, push the slide forward, then pull it back, all with the trigger finger.
I knew one owner who was very fast at this. “
Thanks for the link. I still don’t see how that happens. Oh well.
