Abstract

A self-loading pistol includes a housing which, in particular by means of two wall portions that are located opposite one another in the transverse direction, and a cover portion, defines a receiving region for a locking device of the self-loading pistol. In a closed state of the self-loading pistol, the locking device is received, at least in portions, inside the receiving region of the housing and is movable inside the receiving region of the housing, in particular along the longitudinal axis of the receiving region.

Claims (6)

1 . A self-loading pistol, comprising a housing defining two wall portions that are located opposite one another in a transverse direction, and a cover portion, the two wall portions and the cover portion together defining a receiving region for a slide of the self-loading pistol, wherein the two wall portions defining the receiving region and a handle of the self-loading pistol are unitary, wherein in a closed state of the self-loading pistol the slide is received and enclosed, at least in portions, inside the receiving region of the housing and is movable inside the receiving region of the housing along a longitudinal axis of the receiving region, and wherein the slide defines a first ejection port and at least one wall portion of the two wall portions of the housing defines a second ejection port, the first ejection port aligning with the second ejection port when the slide is in an ejection state, wherein the cover portion is separably connected to the two wall portions of the housing, and wherein the slide comprises at least one gripping region at an end remote from a breech block defined in the slide, the at least one gripping region protrudes from an opening of the housing along the longitudinal axis of the receiving region or, in the closed state of the self-loading pistol, the at least one gripping region is received in the region of at least one recess of a wall portion of the two wall portions of the housing.

2 . The self-loading pistol according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving region comprises at least one guide surface that is formed by a wall portion of a wall element, wherein the guide surface is designed to guide the slide during a movement of the slide along the guide surface.

3 . The self-loading pistol according to claim 1 , wherein the slide comprises a main body which defines a breech block, at least one connecting flank extends from the main body to a bearing portion arranged on a side of a cartridge chamber opposite the main body and connects the bearing portion to the main body.

4 . The self-loading pistol according to claim 1 , wherein the cover portion can be rigidly connected to the two wall portions of the housing by means of a rail or by means of a screw connection.

5 . The self-loading pistol according to claim 1 , wherein at least one mounting surface is formed on an outer surface of a wall portion and/or an outer surface of the cover portion.

6 . A housing for self-loading pistols, the housing defining two wall portions that are located opposite one another in a transverse direction, and a cover portion, the two wall portions and the cover portion defining a receiving region, wherein the two wall portions defining the receiving region and a handle of a self-loading pistol are unitary, wherein a slide of the self-loading pistol in a closed state of the self-loading pistol can be received and enclosed, at least in portions, inside the receiving region of the housing and be movable inside the receiving region of the housing along a longitudinal axis of the receiving region, and wherein at least one wall portion of the two wall portions of the housing defines an ejection port that aligns with a slide ejection port defined in the slide when the slide is in an ejection state, wherein the cover portion is separably connected to the two wall portions of the housing, and wherein the slide comprises at least one gripping region at an end remote from a breech block defined in the slide, the at least one gripping region protrudes from an opening of the housing along the longitudinal axis of the receiving region or, in the closed state of the self-loading pistol. the at least one gripping region is received in the region of at least one recess of a wall portion of the two wall portions of the housing.
