Abstract:
Disclosed is a firearm configuration for a handgun. The firearm configuration is designed to reduce the recoil forces encountered by a user upon firing the weapon. It further includes a recoil plate that absorbs forces generated by the slide during firing. Recoil forces are reduced by lowering the firearm's center of mass and by aligning a recoiling mass with the user's arm and trigger finger. The firearm configuration further includes a locking block which prevents rotational and lateral movement of the barrel upon firing.

Claim (Index 8):
A firearm with reduced recoil forces comprising:\n an upper housing including a barrel, and an apertured recoil mass, the upper housing further including a firing assembly arranged along a first axis; a lower housing slidably interconnected to the upper housing, a trigger and trigger assembly positioned within the lower housing, the trigger assembly being interconnected to the firing assembly and being used to fire the firearm; a series of guide rods, each guide rod including first and second ends and an intermediate length, the first end of each rod connected to the lower housing and the second end of each guide rod connected to the apertured recoil mass, a spring positioned about the intermediate extent of each guide rod, whereby the apertured recoil mass slides along the series of guide rods and against the force of the springs.
