Patent Images
1. An apparatus configured to aid a user in actuating a slide mechanism of a semi-automatic pistol, comprising:
- (a) a first side portion connected to a second side portion by a top portion extending therebetween;
(b) a tunnel extending a length of the apparatus from a first end portion to a second end portion, the tunnel being configured to receive the slide mechanism therein;
(c) a plurality of slots spaced along the length of the apparatus; and
(d) an insert configured to be received in a selected one of the slots so as to define a first flange configured to rest against an end of the slide mechanism to provide a pushing force on the end when a user actuates the slide mechanism, such that movement of the insert from one slot to another allows the user to adjust the apparatus for use with semi-automatic pistols of varying length.

10. A method of actuating a slide-mechanism of a semi-automatic pistol, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) providing an apparatus having; (i) a first side portion; (ii) a second side portion; and (iii) a flange configured to exert a pushing force against an end of a slide mechanism of an automatic pistol; (b) adjusting a useable length of the apparatus by positioning the flange in a pre-determined one of a plurality of slots of the apparatus such that the apparatus does not interfere with an ejection port of the semi-automatic pistol; (c) positioning the apparatus over the slide mechanism of the semi-automatic pistol such that the flange is adjacent to an end of the slide mechanism; (d) gripping the first and second side portions; and (e) actuating the slide mechanism. - View Dependent Claims (11)
