Different design.

The ejector depressor plunger (nylon plunger and spring) pushes the ejector down, and therefore the disconnector down, which pushes the drawbar down and disconnects it from the hammer (DA) and sear (SA).

When a magazine is present, the left lip lifting the ejector against the ejector depressor plunger and its spring, the trigger functions the gun normally in both DA & SA.
