  • Patent number: 7380363
    Abstract: A blank firing barrel for use with handguns is disclosed. The blank firing barrel is sized to be substituted for an existing live-ammunition firing barrel in a handgun. The blank firing barrel can be machined from a solid block of metal such as stainless steel so that the barrel end is a contiguous portion of the original solid metal block. A downwardly angled small pressure release hole can be drilled into the closed end so that gasses from firing the blank can be safely discharged. The open end of the blank firing barrel can be sized to only accept ammunition being smaller in diameter than regular ammunition that is used for the handgun. The under rear edges of the blank firing barrel can be angled so that said barrel safely recoils within the handgun when it is fired.
