## Claims

### Claim 1

A firearm, particularly a pistol and the like, comprising means for loading cartridges, bullets and the like and including a ring element arranged to surround and to be retained on the forearm of the user;
barrel means arranged to extend over the forearm of the user;
means for displacing the cartridges, bullets and the like to a next firing position;
striking means for striking the displaced cartridge, bullet and the like in the firing position;
means for actuating said displacing and striking means, said actuating means including a bush provided with a trigger and at least two sights and movable between a first position in which it is located in the region of the forearm of the user so as to be concealed under a sleeve of the latter, and a second position in which it is displaced to the hand of the user so that the user can act upon said trigger and use said sights, whereby for firing, only said bush with said trigger and said sights are displaced whereas all other means of the firearm remain inside the user's sleeve; and
means for moving said bush from said first position to said second position by abutting the firearm against an object such as the user's body.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A firearm as defined in claim 1, wherein said moving means includes a spring operatively urging said bush from said first position to said second position, and a holding member which normally holds said spring and prevents the latter from urging, and which can be pressed by abutting of the firearm against the user's body so that said holding member releases said spring for urging said bush by the latter.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)
