Abstract: A folding pocket pistol has a frame, a barrel connected to the frame and defining a bore and a chamber and movable between an operating position and a loading position, a bolt connected to the frame and operable to reciprocate between a rearward cocked position and a forward battery position, a trigger connected to the frame and having a lever movable between a forward position and a rearward position, a grip connected to the frame and movable between a closed position abutting the frame, and an open position away from the frame, the grip defining a pocket adapted to receive the trigger lever when the trigger lever is in the forward position, and the grip having a pocket block surface adapted to contact a portion of the trigger lever when the trigger lever is in the rearward position, which prevents the grip moving to the closed position.

Abstract: A folding pistol comprising of a first elongated portion including a barrel, with a second elongated portion including a grip. The first and second portions being pivotally connected to each other and movable between a closed position in which the first portion and second portion abut each other to define a rectangular peripheral profile and an open position in which the second portion is angularly disposed with respect to the first portion; and wherein the pistol is operable to discharge when in the open position and in an inoperable condition in the closed position.

Abstract: Folding firearms have a first portion including a shoulder stock having a free end butt surface and a trigger assembly including a trigger lever, a second portion including a frame defining a bolt passage, a bolt received in the bolt passage, and a barrel connected to the frame, and the first portion and second portion being pivotally connected to each other to pivot about a pivot axis between an operating position in which the barrel extends in a first direction and the shoulder stock extends in an opposite direction, and a folded position in which the barrel and shoulder stock extend in a common direction. The pivot axis may be perpendicular to a bore axis defined by the barrel, and oriented parallel to a medial plane defined by the firearm, the medial plane being vertical during normal firearm operation.
