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.

A firearm recoil system replaces a traditional slide of a fire arm to mitigate the recoil from the discharging an automatic firearm. The firearm recoil system includes a firearm, a first slide weight, a second slide weight, and a recoil transfer actuator. The first slide weight and the second slide weight are slideably engaged with a frame of the firearm. The first slide weight is slotted over a barrel of the firearm. The second slide weight is slotted over a bolt carrier of the firearm. As an ammunition round is ignited, the bolt is depressed causing the recoil transfer actuator to be displaced and redirects the force of the recoil into the first slide weight and the second slide weight. The first slide weight and the second slide weight translate away from the recoil transfer actuator to compensate for the recoil of the firearm.

In some embodiments, a firearm comprises a lower receiver, a bolt carrier and a weight. The lower receiver is arranged to support a hammer and an auto-sear. The bolt carrier comprises a body and a striker moveable with respect to the body between a first position and a second position. The body defines a first cavity adjacent the striker. A weight is positioned in the first cavity and arranged to move the striker to the second position, wherein the striker is arranged to operate the auto-sear.

A conversion set for a firearm having a grip and a slide locked by a moveable barrel and including an ejecting opening is disclosed. To permit timely opening of the slide when using a replacement barrel which does not lock the slide, the conversion set for use of a replacement barrel which does not lock the slide includes a jacket which may be connected to the slide in a detachable, form-fitting manner. The jacket has a defined mass for the predetermined movement of the slide following a shot being fired.

A bolt carrier group includes one or more interchangeable weights that allows the user to control the weight of the bolt carrier group. One or more interchangeable weights are secured inside compartments of the bolt carrier group body such that the weight of the bolt carrier group can be changed depending on desired use of the firearm. The change in weight of the bolt carrier group allows the user to control the recoil of the firearm, the firing rate of the firearm, and the type and caliber ammunition that may be used with the bolt carrier group.
