Extendable slide member for pistol slide

摘要

An extendable slide member on a pistol slide action, providing leverage and a gripping base for a user to pull back or “rack” the slide along guides on a pistol frame, in a longitudinal motion relative to the pistol frame. The slide member facilitating racking the slide when in an extended position the slide member rotates either laterally outwards from a side surface of the slide or vertically upwards from a top surface of the slide, and presents a gripping or holding segment for the user to pull the slide towards the breech end of the pistol.

主权项

1. A pistol slide having a top surface facing upwards when said pistol is held in an upright firing position, side surfaces adjacent said top surface and facing outwards left and right in a direction perpendicular to said top surface, a breech end, and a muzzle end opposite said breech end, said slide including:
at least one partially walled aperture located proximate said breech end of said slide having an opening accessible from said slide top surface or said slide side surface, or both; at least one extendable, retractable slide member, said slide member extendable approximately laterally outwards from said side surface in a direction approximately perpendicular to said top surface when said slide member is in an extended position, said slide member including: a top edge, a holding portion, and an attachment segment, said attachment segment being insertable within said at least one partially walled aperture for rotatably attaching to said slide; a resilient bias member providing a restoring force to said at least one slide member when said at least one slide member is extended laterally outwards, said restoring force acts to retract said at least one slide member laterally inwards towards said slide side surface.
