The invention relates to a drop protection () of a cock-less self-loading pistol () with a movable safety element (), which can take a safety position, where it intervenes before firing of a shot into the path of a firing pin (), and a release position, where it is located outside the path of movement of the firing pin (), is characterized in that the safety element () catches the firing pin () after its forerun over a defined distance in safety position. The invention also relates to a self-loading pistol equipped with such a drop protection.

Disassembly devices for use with firearms and firearms including such disassembly devices are disclosed. An example firearm includes a frame; a breech slide to be coupled to the frame; a barrel; a trigger bar disposed within the frame; and an arm to be pivotable about an axis between a locked position and a unlocked position, the arm being movable to the unlocked position from the locked position based on a magazine engaging an end of the arm, the arm being movable to the locked position from the unlocked position based on the magazine being spaced from the end of the arm or the magazine not being fully received within the firearm, in the locked position, the arm to interact with the trigger bar to secure the trigger bar, in the unlocked position, the lug to be spaced from the trigger bar to enable the trigger bar to move.

Firearm(s) with a breech lock are disclosed. One such firearm includes a first pivoting lever which, when actuated, releases the breech lock and a second lever, which when actuated also releases the breech lock. The first and second levers are located on opposite sides of the weapon.

Automatic firearms with a detachable breech lock

Safety devices for use with a handheld firearm are disclosed. The safety devices include a lever that can be pivoted into the travel path of the hammer of the firearm to preclude the hammer from striking a firing pin. In an example, the lever is connected to the trigger such that the safety device is released when the trigger is pulled. In another example, the lever protrudes into the magazine shaft of the firearm such that the safety device is only released when a magazine is inserted into the shaft.

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for releasably securing a retractable shoulder stock relative to the casing of a firearm. The retractable shoulder stock includes a slide rail which is displaceable relative to the casing. The slide rail defines a recess. The shoulder stock also includes a catch lever which is mounted for rotation about an axis. The catch lever has a peripheral surface that can be manually engaged to rotate the catch lever about the axis. The catch lever is positioned to selectively engage in the recess to releasably lock the slide rail in a first predetermined position.

A mounting apparatus is disclosed for attaching a sighting device onto a weapon. The mounting apparatus has a rail disposed on part of the weapon in a longitudinal direction. The rail has a pair of longitudinally extending opposed sides and a longitudinally extending first attachment element on each of the opposed sides. A removable mounting base has a pair of longitudinally extending side edges and a longitudinally extending second attachment element on each side edge. Each second attachment element is complimentary to a corresponding one of the first attachment elements. The mounting base is slidingly and longitudinally engaged with the rail via the complimentary first and second attachment elements. The mounting base is formed of at least two parts which are slidable against one another in a transverse direction. A spring mechanism produces a spring force and is arranged to bias the two parts of the mounting base into engagement with the rail. The spring force is overcome by manually squeezing the two parts to release the mounting base from the rail.
