A training pistol having a rigid barrel and operating with a conventional blowback system, including a frame, a slide and a barrel, including a slide stop device, a firing pin assembly and preferably including a slide lock which can be moved into a disassembly position in which it releases the movement of the slide toward the front. This release can only be achieved if there is no magazine in the magazine well of the frame and the slide is stopped. The barrel is fastened in the frame by a locking device that can be brought into a release position in which it releases the barrel. Additionally an unlocking gap is provided between the barrel and the slide, and when the gap is overcome, after the slide lock has moved into the disassembly position, an unlocking ramp provided on the slide forces the locking device into the release position.

A barrel assembly for use in a semiautomatic firearm, including a barrel and a takedown lever. A rear portion of the barrel includes a follower lug and a rear lug extending from an underside of the rear portion. A pin of the takedown lever includes a notch with a vertical face configured to contact a vertical face of the follower notch when the firearm is in the locked position. The rear lug is configured to be supported by a portion of a locking block of the firearm prior to firing and during a portion of the recoil period. A fitting pad extending downward from a rear lug of the barrel can be adjusted to provide a customized fit of the barrel to a frame of the firearm. The modifications to the barrel assembly result in increased dwell time and accuracy of the firearm.

A mounting mechanism has a base upon which a rotating cam is mounted. The cam has a lobe which extends beyond the perimeter of the base when the cam is in a first position and remains within the perimeter of the base when the cam is in a second position. A detent is used to lock the cam in the first position. The detent includes a leaf spring positioned on the cam which defines a kink. The kink is engageable within a niche in the base when the cam is in the first position. An accessory attached to the mounting mechanism may be attached to a structure using the mounting mechanism. The base fits within a slot in the structure and the lobe of the cam engages the structure when the cam is in the first position to lock the mounting mechanism and the accessory to the structure.

Disclosed is an accessory attachment system for a slide-action handgun having a slide cover with side holes, a mounting flange, and a flange lock pin. The slide cover includes a front end, a rear end, an upper surface, a right and left side that cover a slide mechanism of the firearm. The mounting flange is inserted into the upper surface of the slide cover for receiving and securing a handgun accessory. The mounting flange has a bottom surface configured to secure the accessory attached to the mounting flange to the underlying slide mechanism of the slide action handgun using the flange lock pin.

A firearm assembly including a receiver, a barrel, a locking block and a slide configured to provide rapid changing of a barrel of a handgun wherein the barrel may be for an alternate caliber round of ammunition. The locking block is configured to be secured within the receiver and includes an upper surface that has front rise member, a rear rise member and a valley intermediate thereto. The upper surface of the locking block is mateably shaped with the second portion of the barrel, in particular the lower portion thereof. The lower portion includes a front shoulder member, a rear shoulder member and a notch formed therebetween wherein the notch is configured to mateably engage the rear rise member of the locking block. The slide of the present invention includes a void intermediate the sidewall and the extractor housing. A shim is provided to be secured within the void.

Improved firearms including one or more of a removable and/or interchangeable top cover, an improved extractor mechanism, a striker safety mechanism with a direct trigger interface, a sear with direct striker interface, and/or a striker with integral striker spring retention features.

A self-loading-pistol includes a slide slidably mounted on a frame and coupled to a recoil spring, with a support plate formed in a front portion of the slide. A barrel passes through the slide and is fixedly mounted on the frame. A slide lock mechanism locks the slide during firing of the pistol and is arranged in the front portion of the frame under the barrel. The slide lock mechanism includes a front seat formed on a front arm of a two-armed lever, a locking member mounted in the front seat, a rear seat formed on a rear arm of the two-armed lever, and a damping member mounted in the rear seat. The locking member and the damping member are pushed upwards to the front seat and the rear seat by a locking spring. A support surface is formed on the rear arm of the two-armed lever and extends to an aperture in the frame.

A barrel bushing and retained bias assembly are provided for engaging a barrel of a firearm to accommodate relative longitudinal movement of the barrel bushing and the barrel. The barrel bushing includes a retaining channel for retaining the bias assembly, such that a portion of the bias assembly extends into a bore of the barrel bushing to contact and be partly compressed by the outside diameter of the barrel.
