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.
Claims16
A dual slide firearm comprising:
- a frame comprising frame rails;
- a rear slide comprising rear slide rails attached to said frame rails and upper guide rails;
- and
- a front slide comprising guide rails attached to said upper guide rails and front slide rails attached to said frame rails;
- a slide arm mount attached to said frame, said slide arm mount having an axis, and a slide arm, the slide arm having a lower slide arm portion in communication with said rear slide, and an upper slide arm portion in communication with said front slide;
- wherein the firing of a projectile from said firearm results in the movement of said rear slide in a direction opposite the fired projectile, said rear slide pulling the lower slide arm portion causing the slide arm to rotate along said axis and said upper slide arm portion to move forward, pushing said front slide in the direction of the fired projectile.

A recoil reduced handgun comprising:
- a frame comprising handle portion and a top portion;
- a front slide positioned above said top portion;
- a rear slide positioned above said top portion, with at least a portion of said rear slide being positioned behind said front slide;
- a slide arm mount attached to said frame, said slide arm mount having an axis, and a slide arm, the slide arm having a lower slide arm portion in communication with said rear slide, and an upper slide arm portion in communication with said front slide;
- and
- a chamber to house a projectile;
- wherein upon firing the projectile results in a recoil of said front slide and said rear slide, the direction of the recoil of said front slide being substantially opposite to the direction of the recoil of said rear slide.

A method for manufacturing a firearm comprising the steps of:
- providing a frame comprising frame rails;
- attaching a slide arm mount said frame, said slide arm mount having an axis, and a slide arm, the slide arm having a lower slide arm portion, and an upper slide arm portion;
- attaching a rear slide to said frame rails and said lower slide arm portion, said rear slide comprising upper guide rails;
- and
- attaching a front slide to said upper guide rails and said upper slide arm portion,
- wherein the firing of a projectile from said firearm results in the movement of said rear slide in a direction opposite the fired projectile, said rear slide pulling the lower slide arm portion causing the slide arm to rotate along said axis and said upper slide arm portion to move forward, pushing said front slide in the direction of the fired projectile.
