PISTOL RACKING DEVICE

Abstract

A pistol is provided comprising a frame with a slide configured to reciprocate on the frame between a forward battery position and a rearward recoil position, having a slide muzzle end. Further, a barrel connects to the frame, having a barrel muzzle end. When the slide is in the battery position, the muzzle end of the slide is spaced apart forward of the muzzle end of the barrel by a first selected spacing. When the slide is in the recoil position, the muzzle end of the slide is spaced apart forward of the muzzle end of the barrel by a second selected spacing less than the first spacing, whereby the slide may be reciprocated by application of force to the muzzle end.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/727,476 filed on Sep. 5, 2018, entitled “Pistol Racking Device”, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all that is taught and disclosed therein.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a pistol, and more particularly to a pistol comprising a frame with a slide configured to reciprocate on the frame between a forward battery position and a rearward recoil position, having a slide muzzle end.

FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of a conventional 1911.

FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of a modified 1911. The bull barrel and bushing are shorter.

FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of a 1911 conventional locked.

FIG. 4 is a side sectional view of a 1911 conventional unlocked.

FIG. 5 is a side sectional view of a 1911 modified locked. Note tip of barrel clearance to bushing.

FIG. 6 is a side sectional view of a 1911 modified unlocked. Note tip of barrel clearance to bushing.

FIG. 7 is a top sectional view of a conventional 1911 unlocked.

FIG. 8 is a top sectional view of a conventional 1911 locked.

FIG. 9 is a top sectional view of a modified 1911 unlocked. Note tip of barrel behind bushing.

FIG. 10 is a top sectional view of a modified 1911 locked. Note tip of barrel clearance to bushing.

FIG. 11 shows a modified threaded guiderod plug and lengthened 2.5″.

FIG. 12 shows a modified shortened to 0.4″-barrel bushing, right bushing is factory m-1911.

The pistol was built by the inventor, Patrick Delbecq and is believed to be the only of this type in existence.

The model 1911 Colt clone pistol starts with a standard lower O-frame which is factory and unmodified.

The upper slide assembly starts with a factory 6-inch slide and is fitted with a factory 3.5-inch Officers Model 1911 bull barrel, thus leaving a false muzzle or room for the barrel to reciprocate within the slide. In or out of battery not allowing the barrel to pass beyond the front of the 6-inch slide. With this feature by pushing the muzzle and releasing from a solid surface will charge or extract a live round or take the Pistol in or out of battery one handed.

The required modifications are to shorten a factory GI-model standard barrel bushing to 0.4 inches, the Barrel bushing only serves as a way to retain the recoil guide rod plug and recoil spring and does not serve as a bearing surface as a standard barrel system. The bushing is shortened to clear the tip of the reciprocating bull barrel within the 6-inch slide.

The second modification is a recoil guide rod plug lengthened to 2.5 inches so while firing the pistol the recoil spring is protected from soot and heat within the slide. The recoil guide rod Plug is threaded for future bolt on attachments and accessories.

Claims

1. A pistol comprising:

A frame;

a slide configured to reciprocate on the frame between a forward battery position and a rearward recoil position and having a slide muzzle end:

a barrel connected to the frame and having a barrel muzzle end;

when the slide is in the battery position the muzzle end of the slide being spaced apart forward of the muzzle end of the barrel by a first selected spacing; and

when the slide is in the recoil position the muzzle end of the slide being spaced apart forward of the muzzle end of the barrel by a second selected spacing less than the first spacing, whereby the slide may be reciprocated by application of force to the muzzle end.
