Abstract: The invention relates to an improved semi-automatic target pistol. The improvements featured are: a tubular magazine that accommodates cartridges nose-to-tail fashion, and from which the cartridges are extracted singly and transferred to the bore by a pivoted cradle; a hammerless percussion system in which travel of the striker, housed internally of the breechblock, remains independent of breechblock travel; a set of percussion release levers set in motion by squeezing the trigger and energizing a solenoid, and a notably efficient lever mechanism for ejection of the spent cartridge.

Abstract: The pistol is provided with two supports that carry the front sight and the rear sight notch, respectively, which can be rotated around the barrel of the pistol in such a way as to carry the line of aim into various positions. Furthermore, the invention pistol is provided with a frame that connects the barrel of the pistol to the grip thereof so as to allow vertical and horizontal movements of the barrel and the grip to be made, one with respect to the other. The firing mechanism of the pistol is connected to the grip thereof but is detached from the remaining elements of the said pistol.
