Oh, no, I forgot to mention that. It's double-action, but slightly weird—there's no decocker, which implies that it was actually meant to be carried either with an empty chamber, or with the hammer cocked and the safety on. I don't imagine the intent was for people to be chambering the first round, then pulling the trigger and easing the hammer down on it; far too much margin for error. Why bother with double-action lockwork if you're going to set it up that way, I have no idea, but that's what they did.
