This disclosure concerns a pistol having an anti-disassembly protection device, which includes a disassembly key arranged rotatably in a frame, and which can be manually turned between an angular locking position and an angular disassembly position, and which disassembly key may occupy a transverse resting position and a transverse rotation position. The disassembly key has blocking means that cooperate with additional blocking means on the frame in order to prevent rotation of the disassembly key into the angular disassembly position when the disassembly key occupies the transverse resting position.

Device for disassembling a firearm

The present disclosure relates to an automatic or semiautomatic pistol including a slide and a magazine. The magazine feeder includes an actuator that controls a slide stop. The slide stop, located rearward of the magazine, is designed to switch from a low to a high position. In its high position, the slide stop locks the slide in a rearward position. The pistol also includes a control lever for the slide stop, which is attached at one end to rotate about a pin forward of the magazine. The control lever includes a feeler that is lifted by the control actuator when the magazine is empty, causing the slide stop to switch from its low to high position. The slide stop may have ambidextrous manual releases rigidly connected to each other across the pistol.

Safety mechanism for a pistol

The present disclosure relates to an unlocking mechanism for a pistol magazine. Each of two release buttons is fastened to one end of a release lever controlling the translation of a lock cam arranged at the front or back of the handle. The lock cam includes a lock cooperating with an abutment surface arranged on the front or back surface of the magazine. A spring holds the lock cam in the lock position in the absence of pressure on the release button. Each release lever has a lug bearing on a corresponding lock cam lug of the lock cam. The lock cam is translated when one of the release buttons is actuated. The unlocking device has two release lever springs holding the release levers in the locked position, so as to make the left- and right-hand release buttons independent of each other.

Magazine latch

A pistol is disclosed, including a body made from synthetic material having a channel formed inside the body. A slide is guided in a longitudinal direction of the body, the slide including a barrel and a breech. A single-block chassis having an elongated shape extends from a central portion of the body to a rear end of the body. The chassis further includes guiding elements for guiding the slide. The pistol is configured such that the channel is designed to receive the chassis removably, and the chassis is fastened to the body using a formfitting, sliding connection.

Pistol with optimized chassis anchoring

A pistol may include a firing device arranged in a slide. The firing device includes a strikerhaving a striker head, characterized in that the device has at least two parallel striker springs arranged laterally on the side of the striker axis and bearing on at least two bearing surfaces arranged perpendicularly to the axis of the striker.

Pistol firing device

The present invention relates to a pistol comprising a firing pin safety device integrated into a slide () of the pistol comprising a firing pin () comprising a lateral extension () comprising at least one safety lug () and a firing pin butterfly safety () positioned on an axis of rotation () fastened to the slide and parallel to the axis of translation of the firing pin (), said butterfly safety () being able to rotate in a vertical plane between a firing position and a blocking position, said butterfly () comprising at least one bearing surface () on which the at least one lug () rests when said butterfly is in the blocking position and at least one recess () able to allow the at least one lug () to pass when said butterfly is in the shooting position, the center of mass of said butterfly () being on its axis of rotation () and the axis of rotation () being a main axis of inertia of said butterfly ().

Firing pin safety of a pistol

The present invention relates to an unlocking mechanism of a pistol magazine comprising at least one control button () arranged on the flank of a grip () in which a magazine () can be inserted, each control button () being attached to one end of a control lever () controlling the rotation of a latch cam () arranged in front of or behind the grip (), said latch cam () comprising a latch (), cooperating, during use, with a stop surface () arranged on the front or rear surface of the magazine () in order to lock or unlock said magazine (), at least one spring () keeping the latch cam () in the locked position of the magazine in the absence of pressure exerted on the control button ().

The present invention relates to a firearm comprising a trigger safety, said firearm comprising a frame and a trigger (), the trigger () being positioned on a trigger axis () positioned on a trigger lever () commanding an ignition chain, said trigger lever () being positioned on a trigger lever axis () fixed to the frame, said trigger lever () being able to switch from an idle position to a position triggering a shot and said trigger () being able to switch from an idle position where the trigger bears on the trigger lever on a first bearing surface () and a firing position where the trigger () bears on the trigger lever () on a second bearing surface (), resilient means () keeping the trigger () in the idle position when no pressure is applied thereto, characterized in that said trigger () comprises a trigger blocking surface () bearing on a corresponding blocking element () on the frame blocking the rotation of the trigger lever () when the trigger () is idle and said trigger blocking surface () retracting when the trigger rotates on its axis () relative to the trigger lever (), freeing the rotation of the trigger lever ().
