I always thought the term "slam fire" described a firearm that discharged prematurely as the bolt slammed home without the trigger being pulled-never a good thing. Firearms without disconnectors like the aforementioned Model 12, the Model 97, early (I believe) Model 37s and others fired as the bolt closed each time but required holding the trigger back as the slide was operated.
