A pistol is disclosed comprising a rod, including, in an end opposite to the trigger, a tip and a crosswise arm, wherein the crosswise arm is projected from the longitudinal body of the rod, towards the pistol central portion, and includes a front surface, able to interfere with the finger, and a flap, facing the crosswise arm and projecting downwards, in the middle region having an oblong hole; a rod guiding pin, with its crosswise axle parallel to the pistol length, crosses the oblong hole, to limit the movement upwards and downwards of the crosswise arm; and a rod ramp, in the shape of an oblong laminar body, fixed to a lower end on a crosswise axle and having a fold in the opposite and upper end, projecting away from the center of the pistol, defining a contact surface that mechanically acts against the tip.

Pistol with firing mechanism that can easily be adapted to various modes of operation

A safety device for a automatic pistol, which safety device for a pistol is comprised of a safety pin ( ) housed in a recessed hole ( ) of the slide ( ), which safety pin can assume a first position in which the gun is unlocked, and a second position in which the gun is locked, composed of a cylindrical head ( ) provided with a notch ( ) made according to a chord of the respective circumference externally bounded by a convex surface ( ) in the central part of which there is a hole ( ) from the head ( ) of which a cylindrical body ( ) provided with a helical groove ( ) adjacent the head ( ) projects inwardly, two positioning slots ( ) and a flat recess ( ) parallel to the axis thereof that extends from practically half of its length as far as its end opposite the head ( ). When said safety pin is switched to &ldquo;locked&rdquo; position, the head ( ) thereof projects from the side surface of the slide ( ), the ball-spring assembly ( ) cooperates with another positioning slot ( ), said flat recess ( ) is in a vertical position perpendicular to the axis of the firing pin ( ), thus interfering with the lower notch ( ) of said firing pin (the ( ), and said notch ( ) of the head ( ) of the safety pin ( ) is perpendicular to-the guide ( ) of the frame ( ), and said head ( ) starts interfering with the housing ( ) resulting from the concave faces of the boss ( ) and the notch ( ) of the guide ( ), thus preventing the gun to be triggered.

Safety device for a autoloading or automatic pistol

In-chamber cartridge indicator for pistols comprises an indicator (,) lodged in a respective groove (,) of extractor (,) and pivoted by pin (,) so that, when the respective ribs (,) touch the cartridge breech (,) within the chamber, the synchronized movement thereof is prevented and the indicator (,) projects beyond the bolt (,), thereby to provide a visual and tactile indication of the weapon's loaded condition.
