  • Patent number: 4539770
    Abstract: A pressable magazine latch for semiautomatic pistols adaptable for use by either right or left-handed persons includes a guide-tube anchored wihtin the pistol frame which contains a displaceable rigidly connected two-part latch member therewithin. A spring normally maintains the latch member engaged with the magazine and presents a latch member button projecting beyond one end face of the guide-tube. Despressing this button substantially flush with the adjacent guide-tube end wall releases the latch from the magazine while further axial displacement of the latch member allows subsequent disassembly of the two latch parts to permit re-assembly thereof in a reverse position within the guide-tube.

  • Patent number: 4391056
    Abstract: A retaining means for revolver cylinders includes a resilient bushing which, upon being inserted in the cylinder bore, is engaged in an annular recess in a hollow cylinder axle making it impossible to disengage the two parts from one another after introducing an extractor mechanism in the bushing and threadedly connecting a sleeve of the mechanism with the threaded end of the extractor rod.

  • Patent number: 4391057
    Abstract: An actuator system for the trigger return in double-action revolvers includes an actuating rod having a rounded end engaged in a recess in the trigger with a helical coiled return spring biasing the rod by means of a cylindrical shoulder thereon and a rotary abutment member having a bore, which bore serves as a guide for the axially shiftable rod. The system provides an improved double-action operation since it compensates for the increasing reaction of the spring by reducing the lever arm or moment of this reaction on the trigger during its rearward movement. An improvement enables the user to control the "trigger weight" in a single-action operation by the provision of a return spring control bushing which can be adjustably threaded in the rotary abutment member to vary the effective operating length of the spring.
