Abstract

A pistol includes a frame; a slide reciprocating on the frame between a forward position and a pulled-back position; a firing pin mounted in the slide for motions relative to the slide; a firing pin catch affixed to the firing pin; a firing pin spring mounted in the slide and urging the firing pin forwardly; a trigger supported in the frame; a trigger rail coupled to the trigger for executing a triggering motion when the trigger is pulled; and a sear for connecting the trigger rail with the firing pin catch such that during forward motion of the slide the sear arrests and holds the firing pin catch thus arming the firing pin spring and that upon pulling the trigger, the sear is moved away from the firing pin catch by the trigger rail for allowing the firing pin to accelerate forwardly. A manually operable disassembly member which has an open and a closed position, is movable into a pulled-out state for allowing the slide to be taken off the frame. A first cooperating locking arrangement is provided on the frame and the disassembly member for allowing the disassembly member to be moved into the pulled-out state solely in the open position of the disassembly member. A second cooperat…
