The present invention relates to a pistol comprising a firing pin safety device integrated into a slide (5) of the pistol comprising a firing pin (1) comprising a lateral extension (25) comprising at least one safety lug (10,11) and a firing pin butterfly safety (2) positioned on an axis of rotation (27) fastened to the slide and parallel to the axis of translation of the firing pin (20), said butterfly safety (2) being able to rotate in a vertical plane between a firing position and a blocking position, said butterfly (2) comprising at least one bearing surface (17,18) on which the at least one lug (10,11) rests when said butterfly is in the blocking position and at least one recess (14) able to allow the at least one lug (10,11) to pass when said butterfly is in the shooting position, the center of mass of said butterfly (2) being on its axis of rotation (27) and the axis of rotation (27) being a main axis of inertia of said butterfly (2).
A pistol comprising a firing pin safety device integrated into a slide of the pistol comprising a firing pin comprising at least one safety lug and a firing pin butterfly safety positioned on an axis of rotation secured to the slide and parallel to the axis of translation of the firing pin, said butterfly safety being able to rotate in a vertical plane between a firing position and a blocking position, said butterfly comprising at least one bearing surface on which the at least one lug rests when said butterfly is in the blocking position, the center of mass of said butterfly being on its axis of rotation wherein said safety butterfly comprises at least one recess able to allow the at least one lug to pass when said butterfly is in the shooting position.
