Abstract
A firearm having reduced recoil including a front slide connected to a rear slide by way of a slide link. Firing the firearm causes the rear slide to recoil and transfer energy, by means of the slide link, to the front slide. The front slide moving in the direction opposite the rear slide thereby reducing the recoil of the firearm. After reaching full recoil, the front and rear slides return to their resting positions.
Claims9
A dual slide firearm comprising:
- a rear slide comprising rear guide rails;
- a front slide comprising front guide rails;
- a slide link comprising an axis and a slide arm, the slide arm having a lower slide arm portion in communication with the rear slide, and an upper slide arm portion in communication with the front slide;
- a frame with frame rails configured to mate with the rear guide rails and front guide rails, the frame comprising a magazine well with a magazine follower and a magazine release;
- a slide stop configured to lock the rear slide and front slide in an open position when the slide stop contacts the magazine follower;
- wherein the firing of a projectile from the dual slide firearm results in the movement of the rear slide in a direction opposite the fired projectile, the rear slide pulling the lower slide arm portion to cause the slide arm to rotate along the axis and the upper slide arm portion to move forward, pushing the front slide in the direction of the fired projectile.

A method for operating a dual slide firearm, the method comprising the steps of:
- firing a projectile from a dual slide firearm, the duel slide firearm comprising:
- a rear slide comprising rear guide rails;
- a front slide comprising front guide rails;
- a slide link comprising an axis and a slide arm, the slide arm having a lower slide arm portion in communication with the rear slide, and an upper slide arm portion in communication with the front slide;
- a frame with frame rails configured to mate with the rear guide rails and front guide rails, the frame comprising a magazine well with a magazine follower and a magazine release;
- and
- a slide stop configured to lock the rear slide and front slide in an open position when the slide stop contacts the magazine follower;
- wherein the firing of the projectile from the dual slide firearm results in the movement of the rear slide in a direction opposite the fired projectile, the rear slide pulling the lower slide arm portion to cause the slide arm to rotate along the axis and the upper slide arm portion to move forward, pushing the front slide in the direction of the fired projectile;
- contacting the magazine follower with the slide stop when the magazine well is empty, the step of contacting causing the slide stop to lock the rear slide and front slide in an open position.

A method for manufacturing a dual slide firearm, the method comprising the steps of:
- attaching a slide link to a frame with frame rails and a magazine well with a magazine follower and a magazine release, the slide link comprising an axis and a slide arm comprising a lower slide arm portion and an upper slide arm portion;
- attaching a rear slide to the frame rails and the lower slide arm portion, the rear slide comprising rear guide rails;
- attaching a front slide to the frame rails and the upper slide arm portion,
- attaching a slide stop to the frame wherein the slide stop is configured to lock the rear slide and front slide in an open position when the slide stop contacts the magazine follower
- wherein the firing of a projectile from the firearm results in the movement of the rear slide in a direction opposite the fired projectile, the rear slide pulling the lower slide arm portion causing the slide link to rotate along the axis and said upper slide arm portion to move forward, pushing said front slide in the direction of the fired projectile.
