Abstract

A variable caliber self-loading pistol has a slide carried by a breech block slide of the gun with this slide projecting forwardly of the breech block slide so as to support the underside of a cartridge during initial rearward movement of the breech block slide as that cartridge is being extracted from the chamber. The slide also assists in preventing premature movement of a fresh round of ammunition upward from a magazine into the chamber.
