Abstract:
A semi-automatic pistol has a frame having a trigger guard defining a trigger finger space, a barrel connected to the frame and defining a bore axis, a slide connected to the frame and operable to reciprocate along the bore axis between a forward battery position and a rearward open position, a recoil mechanism operably connected between the slide and the frame, and operable to bias the slide to the battery position, and the recoil mechanism being entirely below the barrel axis and forward of the trigger finger space. The recoil mechanism may be a recoil spring defining a spring axis. The spring axis may be parallel to the bore axis. The recoil spring may be a helical shape defining a bore receiving a guide rod. The guide rod may be below the barrel. The trigger guard may have a downwardly facing upper surface defining the trigger finger space.

Claim (Index 4):
A firearm comprising:\n a frame having a trigger guard defining a trigger finger space; wherein the frame has a trigger defining a horizontal trigger plane vertically centered in a trigger guard; wherein the frame has a forward lower surface forward of the trigger guard and positioned at a level below the trigger plane; and a selectively removable barrel connected to the frame and defining a bore axis; a slide connected to the frame and operable to reciprocate along the bore axis between a forward battery position and a rearward open position; a recoil mechanism operably connected between the slide and the frame, and operable to bias the slide to the battery position; and the recoil mechanism being entirely below the barrel and forward of the trigger finger space.
