Abstract

A double firing mode semi-automatic handgun has a frame, a barrel, a spring biased slide, and a firing assembly with a firing rod operated by a trigger. A frame pocket is provided in a rear part of the frame which is open from above, in which an associated frame inset or an associated other frame inset can be inserted. A rear part of the slide has a slide pocket in which an associated slide inset or an associated other slide inset can be inserted. A firing pin is arranged in front of the connection site of the frame pocket and behind the barrel extending to a cartridge receiving chamber. A rearward motion of the firing rod causes a surface to be pushed on the frame inset and transforms into an axial hit on the firing pin by a spring bias or by the release of a lock.

Abstract

Double firing mode semi-automatic handgun, that can be used either in hammer- or in striker firing modes that comprises a frame (1), a barrel (2), a spring biased slide (3), and a firing assembly with a firing rod (14) operated by the trigger (4). The handgun comprises furthermore a frame pocket (11) provided in the rear part of the frame (1) which is open from above, in which in hammer mode an associated frame inset (5) and in striker mode an associated other frame inset (7) can be inserted, and the rear part of the slide (3) comprises a slide pocket (12) in which in hammer mode an associated slide inset (6) and in striker mode an associated other slide inset (8) can be inserted, and in front of the connection site of the frame pocket (12) and behind the barrel (2) a firing pin (9) is arranged extending to a cartridge receiving chamber (21), and in both firing modes the frame insets (5 or 7) and the slide insets (6 or 8) cooperate, and by means of the rearward motion of the firing rod (14) a surface is pushed on the frame inset (5 or 7), and this pushing movement is transformed into an axial hit on the firing pin (9) by a spring bias or by the release of a lock.

IPC Classes  ?

• F41A 11/02 - Modular concepts, e.g. weapon-family concepts
• F41A 19/15 - Modular firing mechanism units
• F41A 19/30 - Mechanical firing mechanisms having only slidably-mounted striker elements, i.e. percussion or firing pins the percussion or firing pin being movable relative to the breech-block propelled by a spring under tension in bolt-action guns
• F41A 19/43 - Mechanical firing mechanisms having at least one hammer in bolt-action guns
