Abstract

In the fixed frame it has a base, in which a barrel with the axis below the level of the upper edge of the shooter's hand, a trigger, a buffer and a long ejector are attached. A pistol grip with a cartridge magazine is obliquely slid into the frame and attached. A semi-embedded moving slide, containing especially a closed launch pad, a firing pin, an obliquely placed extractor and a rob of the trigger mechanism, is inserted into the frame from above. The slide is covered from above by upper body attached to the barrel and at two points to the frame, which carries sights at the top and has elements of the hammer system placed on the lower side.

Claims (47)

1. A pistol with a low-lying barrel, comprising:

a load-carrying element being a fixed frame, the fixed frame comprising:

two longitudinal upper edges on an upper side of the fixed frame;

an opening on the upper side of the fixed frame and defined by the two longitudinal upper edges;

a concave portion formed on a rear side of the fixed frame;

a magazine hole formed on the lower side of the fixed frame;

a touch surface formed around the magazine hole and inclined with respect to the two longitudinal upper edges of the fixed frame;

a bottom body formed on a lower front side of the fixed frame;

a base provided in a middle of the fixed frame, the base projecting over the two longitudinal upper edges of the fixed frame through the opening defined by the two longitudinal upper edges of the fixed frame, the base comprising:

a mid hook attached to the base;

a gap for a guide stud;

a gas piston cavity; and

a barrel gap formed under the gas piston cavity; and

a buffer tube formed at a rear part of the fixed frame and including:

a rear hook formed on top of the buffer tube and protruding above the two longitudinal upper edges of the fixed frame; and

an ejector oriented towards the base and attached to the buffer tube;

a non-moving barrel attached to the base and having a barrel muzzle and a rear part inserted in the barrel gap and internally interconnected with the gas piston cavity;

a trigger mechanism comprising a trigger movably connected to the fixed frame, a trigger safety, and a shoulder movably connected to a swiveling disconnector;

a pistol grip with a cartridge magazine, the pistol grip being propped and secured against the touch surface of the fixed frame;

a moving slide inserted in the opening on the upper side the fixed frame and partially embedded in the fixed frame, the moving slide having an upper opening and a bottom opening and being equipped with a launch pad, an extractor, a light firing pin, a clip, a piston, the guide stud with a recoil spring and a rod connected to the trigger mechanism; and

a fixed upper body covering the moving slide from above, and having:

a bent front section formed with an exact gap for the non-moving barrel for sliding the fixed upper body onto the barrel muzzle through said exact gap;

a cavity with a mid counterpart formed on a lower side and in a middle section of the fixed upper body, wherein the mid counterpart is attached to the mid hook of the base such that the fixed upper body is connected to the fixed frame;

a rear counterpart provided at a rear part of the fixed upper body and detachably connected to the rear hook;

a hammer system of the pistol mounted on an inner side of the fixed upper body, the hammer system comprising:

a hammer catch with a hammer catch spring;

a hammer connected to the hammer catch; and

a hammer stud connected to the hammer, with a hammer spring and a roller;

front sights mounted in a front of the fixed upper body; and

adjustable rear sights provided in a back of the fixed upper body, and mounted on an outer, upper surface of the fixed upper body,

wherein a guideway of the moving slide is delimited by inner surfaces of the fixed upper body and the fixed frame.

2. The pistol with a low-lying barrel according to the claim 1 , wherein the launch pad is closed, and the moving slide further has an ongoing gap for the ejector next to a middle firing pin hole for the firing pin,

wherein the ongoing gap has a conical mouth from a rear side of the launch pad, and an extractor is obliquely placed on the moving slide, swiveling sideways against a pressure of an extractor spring by an inserted cartridge ends next to the launch pad,

wherein the guide stud and the piston are connected via a clip in a front part of the moving slide, and

wherein the rod has a delimited movement only in one line and is secured against falling out, the rod being a separated connecting element of the trigger via the disconnector, and the rod and the disconnector are installed in the fixed frame with the hammer system through the hammer catch.

3. The pistol with a low-lying barrel according to claim 2 , wherein the trigger is Y-shaped, having a pair of shoulders, and the trigger safety swivelingly anchored between the pair of shoulders, the pair of shoulders being bent backwards, and an end of at least one of the pair of shoulders being pressed by a trigger spring, and wherein the disconnector is connected at the end of the at least one of the pair of shoulders and held down by a disconnector spring from one side.

4. The pistol with a low-lying barrel according to claim 2 ,

wherein the hammer stud is movably attached to the hammer at one end thereof, is led through an opening in the roller and is finished with an indicator, and

wherein the hammer spring is slid onto the hammer stud between the one end of the hammer stud and the roller.

5. The pistol with a low-lying barrel according to claim 1 ,

wherein the trigger is Y-shaped, having a pair of shoulders and the trigger safety swivelingly anchored between the pair of shoulders, the pair of shoulders being bent backwards, and an end of at least one of the pair of shoulders being pressed by a trigger spring, and wherein the disconnector is connected at the end of the at least one of the pair of shoulders and held down by a disconnector spring from one side.

6. The pistol with a low-lying barrel according to claim 5 ,

wherein the hammer stud is movably attached to the hammer at one end thereof, is led through an opening in the roller and is finished with an indicator, and

wherein the hammer spring is slid onto the hammer stud between the one end of the hammer stud and the roller.

7. The pistol with a low-lying barrel according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hammer stud is movably attached to the hammer at one end thereof, is led through an opening in the roller and is finished with an indicator, and

wherein the hammer spring is slid onto the hammer stud between the one end of the hammer stud and the roller.
