Abstract:
A pistol comprising(a) a frame;(b) a slide mounted on said frame for forward and rearward motions relative to said frame to assume a forward, basic position and a rearward, fully pulled-back position;(c) a firing pin mounted in said slide for forward and rearward motions relative to said slide;(d) a firing pin catch affixed to said firing pin and movable therewith as a rigid unit;(e) a firing pin spring mounted in said slide and urging said firing pin in a forward direction;(f) a trigger movably supported in said frame;(g) a trigger rail coupled to said trigger for executing a triggering motion when said trigger is pulled;(h) sear means for operatively connecting said trigger rail with said firing pin catch such that during forward motion of said slide said sear means arrests and holds said firing pin catch whereby said firing pin spring is armed and that upon pulling said trigger, said sear means is moved away from said firing pin catch by said trigger rail for allowing said firing pin to accelerate forwardly as urged by said firing pin spring;(i) a manually operable disassembly member having an inserted state and a pulled-out state; in said inserted state said disassembly member being situated in said frame for preventing said slide from being taken off said frame; said disassembly member being movable from said frame into said pulled-out state for allowing said slide to be taken off said frame; said disassembly member having, in said inserted state, a closed position and an open position;(j) first cooperating locking means provided on said frame and said disassembly member for allowing said disassembly member to be moved into said pulled-out state solely in said open position of said disassembly member; and(k) second cooperating locking means provided on said slide and said disassembly member for allowing said disassembly member to be rotated from said closed position into said open position solely in said fully pulled-back position of said slide.
