A pistol adapted to provide selective double action is ‘ described. The pistol comprises a, slide mounted on a

frame which houses the barrel and the ?ring mecha nism. The ?rearm can be ?eld-stripped quickly and the low position of the barrel reduces the effect of re

coil on ?ring accuracy.'The ?ringmechanism co'm prises a number of parts disposed in a multi-layered arrangement which reduces the overall size of the pis

drop barrel chamber to strike the ?xed ?ring pin while the barrel is still in its rearwardly moving direction. In the preferred form of the invention a spring driven actuator sleeve surrounding the barrel interiorly of a receiver tube propels the barrel rearwardly such that the cartridge is ignited and the bullet discharges from the barrel prior to the seating of the barrel against a breech plate that is integral with the gun frame. Gases escaping and expanding from the cartridge are cap tured by the barrel and actuator sleeve and cooperate with the inertia created by the falling barrel to lock and seal the barrel chamber against the breech plate. After the ?ring sequence is completed with the bullet leaving .the barrel the pressure drops to near zero and a second

spring pulls the barrel forward, the actuator sleeve

[57] ABSTRACT A handgun of the drop barrel type has an over-length ?ring pin coupled with a “pile-driving” barrel action that permits the ?ring of ri?e load cartridges. A micro

tridge and a specially con?gured ?ring pin is also dis closed to aid in the ejection of a spent cartridge. A second form of the handgun has a barrel that is hand actuated as opposed to a normal trigger assembly and a third form of the invention has a trigger operated ac tion but does not provide for the utilization of the gases

from the discharged cartridge in recocking the ?rearm.

ABSTRACT

A pistol has a trigger 18 pivotal between a forward rest and a rearward depressed condition. It has a ?ring pin assembly 60 incorporating a ?ring pin 68 and a trans verse nose 74. The assembly 60 is translational parallel to a barrel. When in rearward, cocked condition as

illustrated. a ?ring pin 76 is compressed to propel it forward when released. A transmission member 50 is

pivoted at a fore end to the trigger 18 and is guided for displacement along a cocking path. The nose 74 extends

France ............................. .. 42/6902 Norway ........................... .. 42/6902

into the cocking path. Depression of the trigger dis places the member 50 along the cocking path. The member 50 abuts the nose 74 and cocks the assembly 60.

The invention provides a pivot member 64 which hooks onto the member 50 and de?ects it out of its cocking path to release the nose when the assembly 60 is cocked. A resetting formation 96 is provided on a movable slide 14 to reverse pivot the pivot member 64 to disengage it from the member 50 when a cartridge has been ?red.
