Abstract
The disclosed firearm comprises a stationary receiver or frame, a breech ck pivotally mounted at its lower end on the receiver and engaging a forward-facing abutment on the receiver in firing position, a barrel slidably mounted near its forward end on the receiver and pivotally connected at its rear end to the upper end of the breech block. Forward movement of the barrel to open the breech at the rear of the barrel bore during firing is prevented by the pivotal connection and the firing reaction on the breech block. The barrel can be moved forward after firing to move the rear end thereof forward and downward to open the breech. The firearm also includes a barrel latch automatically released by the hammer during firing, an extractor-ejector member actuated by the breech block during the opening of the breech, and a hammer-cocking means also actuated by the opening of the breech.
