Abstract
A pistol with a frame, including a trigger mechanism and a movable slide, in which a barrel, a recoil spring, and a firing mechanism comprising a firing pin are located. The firing pin is movably mounted in a firing pin guide, where the firing pin guide has a holding plate on the end, which is pivoted in a holding notch in the slide, the slide being affixed in one angle of rotation of the holding plate and not in one other angle of rotation, and that the holding plate has a stop retainer, which abuts against a stop level in the frame and prevents the firing pin guide (spacer sleeve) and the firing pin from moving forward with the slide when the slide is removed from the frame.
Claims10
A pistol, comprising:
- a frame, including a trigger mechanism;
- a slide that is movable along one or more guides in the frame, wherein the slide includes a barrel having a longitudinal axis, a recoil spring, and a firing and holding mechanism;
- wherein the firing and holding mechanism includes a firing pin that is movably mounted within a firing pin guide;
- wherein the firing pin guide includes a holding plate disposed on an end of the firing pin guide that is opposite from a tip of the firing pin;
- wherein the holding plate is pivotable upon the firing pin guide and can be pivoted while disposed within a U-shaped holding notch formed in the slide, where the holding plate pivot axis is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the barrel;
- and
- wherein the holding plate includes a stop retainer that is configured to contact a stop level on the frame when the slide is moved forwardly to prevent the slide from moving further forwards;
- provided that when the holding plate is pivoted within the holding notch to a first angle of rotation the firing and holding mechanism is affixed to the slide, and when the holding plate is pivoted within the holding notch to a second angle of rotation the holding plate, firing pin guide, and the firing pin are separated from the slide, so that when the slide is subsequently moved forwardly the stop retainer contacts the stop level and prevents the firing and holding mechanism from moving further forward.
