Abstract: A slide assembly for a firearm can include a slide having a top side, a proximal end, a mounting recess about the top side of the slide, a housing recess about the proximal end of the slide, and a retaining hole intersecting the housing recess; an extractor assembly mounted within the housing recess; and an optic sight positioned at least partially in the mounting recess, the optic sight coupled to the slide by a fastener received by the retaining hole, the fastener extending at least partially through the housing recess.

Abstract: A slide assembly for a firearm comprising a slide and an extractor assembly is provided. The slide includes a mounting recess about a top side of the slide, and a housing recess about a proximal end of the slide. The extractor assembly is mounted within the housing recess and includes a distal end for engaging a cartridge and a proximal end opposite the distal end. The proximal end terminates at a position adjacent about a mid-portion of the mounting recess. One or more retaining holes are provided within a proximal region of the mounting recess spaced from the proximal end of the extractor assembly. Firearm sights are attachable to the mounting recess via fasteners engaging the retaining holes. The retaining holes are arranged such that they do not interfere with the extractor assembly or other components within the housing recess of the slide.

Abstract: This specification discloses a holder device for retaining a pair of parallels against a pair of vise jaws, a method of using said holder device, and a holder device kit. The holder device comprises a compressible member and an incompressible member. The compressible member has a compressible member first end, a compressible member second end, and a compressible member length dimension. The incompressible member has an incompressible member first end, an incompressible member second end, and an incompressible member length dimension. The compressible member second end and the incompressible member first end are connected to form the holder device.
