Abstract

An automatic pistol, with at least a barrel (1) and a slide (2) that move relative to the rest of the firearm and to each other, whereby the barrel extends through an alignment channel (3) in the slide. The weapon included means (4) of centering the barrel around at least one axis through the slide such that the barrel will not jam. The means are elastic and resilient and rest lightly against the inner surface of the channel before the weapon is discharged.
