Abstract

Disclosed is a slide pull apparatus for aiding in pulling a slide on a semi-automatic pistol. The slide pull apparatus includes a shell configured to partially enclose a rear portion of a slide on a semi-automatic pistol, the shell including: a plate having an aperture of a size configured to surround at least a portion of a rear aim sight on the semi-automatic pistol. The slide pull apparatus additionally includes at least one finger tab projecting from the slide pull, the finger projection having a size configured to accommodate at least one finger of a human hand, wherein pulling on the at least one finger tab in a rearward direction causes the slide to move in a rearward direction, thereby facilitating loading of the semi-automatic pistol.

Claims

1. A slide pull apparatus for aiding in pulling a slide on a semi-automatic pistol, the slide pull apparatus comprising a shell configured to partially enclose a rear portion of a slide on a semi-automatic pistol, said shell including:

i) a plate having an aperture of a size configured to surround at least a portion of a rear aim sight on the semi-automatic pistol; and

ii) at least one finger tab projecting from said slide pull, said finger tab having a size configured to accommodate at least one finger of a human hand, wherein pulling on said at least one finger tab in a rearward direction causes said slide to move in a rearward direction, thereby facilitating loading of the semi-automatic pistol.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, including two sidewalls extending downward from said plate, each of said two sidewalls having an inner surface configured to each rest against a side portion of a slide of the semi-automatic pistol.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said inner surface of at least one of said two sidewalls includes at least one rib configured to offset at least a portion of said at least one of said two sidewalls from said slide of said semi-automatic pistol.

4. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said inner surface of each of said two sidewalls includes at least one rib configured to offset at least a portion of said respective sidewall from said slide of said semi-automatic pistol.

5. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said at least one finger tab projects laterally outward from at least one outer surface of said two side walls.

6. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said at least one finger pull comprises two finger stabs, each projecting laterally outward from a respective outer surface of one of said two sidewalls.

7. A slide pull apparatus for aiding in pulling a slide on a semi-automatic pistol, the slide pull apparatus comprising a shell configured to partially enclose a rear portion of a slide on a semi-automatic pistol, said shell including:

i) a plate having an aperture of a size configured to surround at least a portion of a rear aim sight on the semi-automatic pistol;

ii) two sidewalls extending downward from said plate, each of said two sidewalls having an inner surface having a projection configured to each rest against a side portion of a slide of the semi-automatic pistol; and

iii) one finger tab projecting laterally outward from an outer surface of each of said sidewalls, said finger tab having a size configured to accommodate at least one finger of a human hand, wherein pulling on at least one finger tab in a rearward direction causes said slide to move in a rearward direction, thereby facilitating loading of the semi-automatic pistol.
