Abstract
The present invention relates to a firearm, which includes a receiver and a barrel mountable to the receiver. A slide is mountable to the receiver so as to be movable between an open position and a closed position. A locking element is operatively associated with the barrel. The locking element is displaceable between an inactive position and an active position whereby, when the locking element is in the active position, the locking element engages the slide such that movement of the slide towards the open position is inhibited.
Claims19
A firearm, including:
- a receiver;
- a barrel mountable to the receiver;
- a slide mountable to the receiver, the slide being movable between an open position and a closed position;
- and
- a locking element operatively associated with the barrel, the locking element being displaceable between an inactive position and an active position such that, when the locking element is in the active position, the locking element engages the slide such that movement of the slide towards the open position is inhibited,
- wherein movement of the locking element from the inactive position to the active position causes a corresponding upward movement of the slide, whereby the slide engages the receiver in secure mating face-to-face contact and thereby to facilitate frictional locking of the slide in the closed position.
