Abstract
A locking device for installation in a receiver assembly of a firearm. Unlocking the locking device allows removal of the slide assembly from the receiver assembly. The locking device includes a locking slider having a retaining lug, first and second guide members each formed on the locking slider, and a locking lever. The retaining lug may interact with a barrel to limit a movement of the slide assembly relative to the receiver assembly. The first and second guide members are received in first and second receiving slots, respectively, of a grip/receiver. The locking lever is pivotable about a pivoting axis and is couplable to the locking slider in such a way that the locking lever serves to actuate the locking slider. A transfer of the locking slider from a retaining position to a release position is effected by rotation of the locking lever.
