Abstract

Claims20
A firing mechanism for a firearm comprising:
- a frame;
- a barrel attached to the frame and including a conical taper at a rear end of the barrel;
- a cylinder attached to the frame and including a chamber and a bore through the cylinder and a conically tapered counter bore at a front end of the chamber closest to the barrel;
- and
- a spring in the bore to force the cylinder backward.
2 more elements
A method of firing a firearm comprising:
- when a trigger is pulled, forcing a cylinder forward and compressing a spring in a portion of the cylinder;
- and
- when the trigger is returned to an idle position, forcing the cylinder rearward by releasing tension on the spring, wherein the forcing the cylinder forward causes a conically tapered counter bore on the cylinder to fit over a conical tapered portion of a barrel and to seal or substantially seal the barrel and the conically tapered counter bore.
