Abstract
Provided is a mechanism for selectively preventing cycling of a semiautomatic handgun having a frame and a longitudinally reciprocating slide. The device includes a pivotal blocking lever on one of the slice or frame. The blocking lever is selectively movable between a first position that allows the slide to cycle when the handgun is fired and a second position in which a blocking member mechanically bridges between the frame and slide to block cycling movement of the slide when the handgun is fired.

A mechanism for selectively preventing cycling of a semiautomatic handgun having a frame and a longitudinally reciprocating slide, the device comprising:
- a pivotal blocking lever on one of the slide or frame and that is selectively movable between a first position that allows the slide to cycle when the handgun is fired and a second position in which a blocking member mechanically bridges between the frame and slide to block cycling movement of the slide when the handgun is fired, wherein the blocking lever pivots coaxially with, but on an opposite side of the frame from, a pivoting manual safety switch.
