Abstract
A barrel retaining device for an automatic pistol has a locking element that locks the pistol barrel and breech both of which are guided on the stock of the weapon. In order to remove the breech with the barrel from the stock in order to disassemble the pistol, the locking element has an actuating element on both sides of the stock which, when depressed, unlocks a lock between the barrel and the stock. At the same time, depressing of the actuation element releases the trigger finger into a forward position to impart a forward movement to a spring loaded trigger arm which is also cammed downwardly to disengage the trigger arm and the driver on the firing pin in the breech. The connections between the breech and the stock are thus released by a single unlocking movement when disassembling a pistol.
