Abstract

A training pistol having a rigid barrel and operating with a conventional blowback system, including a frame, a slide and a barrel, including a slide stop device, a firing pin assembly and preferably including a slide lock which can be moved into a disassembly position in which it releases the movement of the slide toward the front. This release can only be achieved if there is no magazine in the magazine well of the frame and the slide is stopped. The barrel is fastened in the frame by a locking device that can be brought into a release position in which it releases the barrel. Additionally an unlocking gap is provided between the barrel and the slide, and when the gap is overcome, after the slide lock has moved into the disassembly position, an unlocking ramp provided on the slide forces the locking device into the release position.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A training pistol having a rigid barrel with a barrel axis and configured with a conventional blowback system, comprising:
a frame including a magazine well for a magazine, a slide, and a barrel; the frame further comprising:
a slide stop lever;
a firing pin assembly having a cover plate that can be pulled out backward in the direction of the barrel axis;

wherein the frame further comprises a slide lock that can be moved between a holding position and a disassembly position; wherein
when the slide lock is in the holding position the slide lock limits the forward movement of the slide from a stopped position, and when the slide lock is in the disassembly position the slide lock permits a forward movement of the slide; and
the movement of the slide lock into the disassembly position is only possible when there is no magazine in the magazine well of the frame and the slide is in its stopped position;
the barrel is fastened in the frame by a locking device that can be moved against a counter force from a locking position, in which the locking device locks the barrel, to a release position, in which the locking device releases the barrel; and
an unlocking gap is defined between the barrel and the slide substantially in a direction of the barrel axis, such that after the slide lock is moved into the disassembly position and the unlocking gap is overcome, an unlocking ramp provided on the slide forces the locking device into the release position.

2. The training pistol of claim 1 , wherein the locking device can be moved against a counter force that is created by a spring or by elastic deformation.

3. The training pistol of claim 1 , wherein the slide includes two unlocking ramps that are arranged on the slide symmetrically with respect to a central plane of the pistol.

4. The training pistol of claim 1 , wherein a region of the locking device that comes into contact with the unlocking ramp is a sloped region.

5. The training pistol of claim 4 , wherein each sloped region of the locking device and the unlocking ramp that contacts that sloped region define the same angular position.

6. The training pistol of claim 1 , wherein the locking device further comprises a locking nose that is configured to engage into a locking device seat on a base of the barrel.

7. The training pistol of claim 1 , wherein the locking device is a stamped and bent part.

8. The training pistol of claim 1 , wherein the unlocking gap has a width of between 0.5 to approximately 4.0 mm.

9. The training pistol of claim 1 , wherein the unlocking gap has a width of between 0.8 to approximately 3.5 mm.

10. The training pistol of claim 1 , wherein the unlocking gap has a width of between 1.0 to 3.0 mm.
