Abstract
A firearm with a frame, a slide, a striker, and a striker retaining system. The striker is connected to the frame inside the slide. The striker has a firing pin biased by a spring in a forward direction. The retaining system has a retainer pin and a spring. The retaining pin is mounted to the frame and is adapted to automatically engage the striker when the slide is removed from the frame. This prevents the striker from being inadvertently released as a projectile off of the frame when the slide is not mounted to the frame.
