The Benelli has a unique locking system, with a fixed barrel and a separate internal breechblock which is lever-cammed by the slide into a locking recess in the frame. This may sound complicated, but it isn’t. Another unique feature of the Benelli is the trigger bar, which pushes the hammer back in double-action firing. In other double-action pistols, this part is usually a drawbar, pulling the bottom of the hammer forward. There are several other internal design points that are unusual, and anyone completely disassembling the Benelli should carefully note the relationship of all parts before beginning takedown. The Benelli pistols in other calibers, the B77, B80, and MP-3, have the same basic mechanism, and the instructions will apply.
