Abrégé

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.
