Abstract

A pistol includes of a pistol body, a slide and a trigger mechanism which includes: a firing bolt, a horizontal control ramp in the slide, a guide coulisse and a guide finger cooperating with the former, a control spring fastened in the pistol body and deflectable in transverse direction, and a trigger bar hinged to a trigger and cooperating with the control ramp, the guide coulisse and the control spring, the trigger bar having a catch nose retaining the firing bolt lug. To achieve enhanced smooth-running and reproducible precision with a minimum of production costs, the control spring has a disc in its upper end region, the contour of said disc being round in the plane of the trigger bar, and the trigger bar has a substantially vertical catch nose in its rear end region and an oblique rear edge cooperating with said disc.

Claims (15)

1. A pistol with a pistol body including a trigger mechanism, and with a slide including a barrel and a breech, said slide being displaceably guided in the pistol body against the force of a return spring, which trigger mechanisms comprises:

a) a firing pin unit with a firing bolt that includes a downwardly extending firing bolt lug, and with a firing bolt spring eccentrically arranged with respect to the firing bolt and resiliently acting on the bolt;

b) a horizontal control ramp in the slide;

c) a control spring fastened with a lower end in the pistol body, an upper end region thereof being deflectable in transverse direction and extending, at the top, into the path of the control ramp;

d) a guide located in a vertical plane and consisting of a guide coulisse and a guide finger cooperating with the guide coulisse;

e) a trigger bar having a front end hinged to a trigger and the guide finger cooperating with the guide coulisse in a rear end region, said trigger bar cooperating with the control ramp as well as with the control spring and acting on the firing bolt lug by a substantially vertical catch nose arranged in the rear end region of said trigger bar;

f) the trigger bar is a full-material punched part having a rear region with two rectangular bends with vertical bending lines, wherein the first bend is reinforced by a lobe folded into the horizontal from a part of the trigger bar between the two bends, the lobe forming the guide finger;

g) the control spring, in an upper end region, has a disc which, in a resting position, projects into the path of movement of the trigger bar, the disc having a contour which, in the plane of the trigger bar, is round; and wherein

h) the trigger bar has an oblique rear edge cooperating with the disc.

2. The pistol according to claim 1 , characterised in that a functional member consisting of two interconnected vertical metal plates is fastened in the interior of the pistol body, the guide coulisse being formed in said functional member and the control spring being fastened in the functional member.

3. The pistol according to claim 1 , characterised in that the disc has a circular contour.

4. The pistol according to claim 3 , characterised in that the disc is removably fastened to the control spring ( 34 ) and is exchangeable.

5. The pistol according to claim 1 , characterised in that the firing pin unit is an insertion member that includes the firing bolt, wherein the firing bolt spring is arranged above the firing bolt, and the firing bolt lug projects downwards near the longitudinal middle of the firing pin unit.

6. The pistol according to claim 1 , characterised in that the catch nose projects upwards from the part of the trigger bar between the two bends, the catch nose being located in a plane with said part.

7. The pistol according to claim 1 , characterised in that in a longitudinal middle region, the trigger bar has a coulisse which cooperates with a hook engaging the firing bolt, thereby forming a trigger safety.
