SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL
First Claim
1. A firearm comprising:
- a frame having a trigger guard defining a trigger finger space;
a barrel connected to the frame and defining a bore axis;
a slide connected to the frame and operable to reciprocate along the bore axis between a forward battery position and a rearward open position;
a recoil mechanism operably connected between the slide and the frame, and operable to bias the slide to the battery position; and
the recoil mechanism being entirely below the barrel and forward of the trigger finger space.

Abstract
A semi-automatic pistol has a frame having a trigger guard defining a trigger finger space, a barrel connected to the frame and defining a bore axis, a slide connected to the frame and operable to reciprocate along the bore axis between a forward battery position and a rearward open position, a recoil mechanism operably connected between the slide and the frame, and operable to bias the slide to the battery position, and the recoil mechanism being entirely below the barrel axis and forward of the trigger finger space. The recoil mechanism may be a recoil spring defining a spring axis. The spring axis may be parallel to the bore axis. The recoil spring may be a helical shape defining a bore receiving a guide rod. The guide rod may be below the barrel. The trigger guard may have a downwardly facing upper surface defining the trigger finger space.

14. A firearm comprising:
-
a frame; a barrel connected to the frame and defining a bore axis; a slide connected to the frame and operable to reciprocate along the bore axis between a forward battery position and a rearward open position; the barrel having a forward tubular portion having a lower wall surface portion; the frame including a cam pin proximate the barrel; a rear portion of the barrel defining a cam channel receiving the cam pin; the cam channel having a guide surface angled downwardly to the rear with respect to the bore axis, such that rearward movement of the barrel in recoil drives the rear portion of the barrel in a downward direction as the cam channel guide surface slides over the cam pin; and the cam channel having an upper portion above the level of the lowest portion of the forward tubular portion of the barrel. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A firearm comprising:
-
a frame including a trigger guard; a barrel connected to the frame and defining a center line axis; a slide connected to the frame and operable to reciprocate along the center line axis between a forward battery position and a rearward open position; a recoil mechanism operably connected between the slide and the frame, and operable to bias the slide to the battery position; and the recoil mechanism being entirely below the upper edge of the frame and encapsulated entirely by the frame forward of the trigger guard. - View Dependent Claims (20)
