Extendable slide member for pistol slide
First Claim
1. A pistol slide having a top surface facing upwards when said pistol is held in an upright position for firing, side surfaces adjacent said top surface and facing outwards left and right in a direction perpendicular to said top surface, a breech end, and a muzzle end opposite said breech end, said pistol slide including:
- at least one extendable and retractable slide member located proximate said breech end of said slide, said slide member extending approximately laterally outwards from said side surface in said left or right direction perpendicular to said top surface when said slide member is in an extended position.

Abstract
An extendable slide member on a pistol slide action, providing leverage and a gripping base for a user to pull back or “rack” the slide along guides on a pistol frame, in a longitudinal motion relative to the pistol frame. The slide member facilitating racking the slide when in an extended position the slide member rotates either laterally outwards from a side surface of the slide or vertically upwards from a top surface of the slide, and presents a gripping segment for the user to pull the slide towards the breech end of the pistol.

11. A pistol comprising:
-
a frame for holding mechanical parts of said pistol, including a trigger housing and a bolt carrier group, said frame further includes a grip portion that receives a magazine; a slide, longitudinally slidable with respect to said frame, said slide housing a firing pin or striker of said pistol and an extractor, said slide serves as a bolt for said pistol, said slide having a top surface facing upwards when said pistol is held in an upright position for firing, and side surfaces adjacent said top surface and facing outwards left and right in a direction perpendicular to said top surface, a breech end, and a muzzle end opposite said breech end; and at least one extendable and retractable slide member rotatably attached to said slide, said slide member located proximate said breech end of said slide, said slide member approximately flush-mounted with a side surface of said slide when said slide member is in a retracted position, and said slide member extending approximately laterally outwards from said side surface in said left or right direction perpendicular to said top surface when said slide member is in an extended position. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of racking a pistol having a pistol slide and a slide member rotatably attached to said pistol slide, comprising:
-
grasping a portion of said slide member in a retracted position and rotating said slide member at least partially laterally outwards from a side surface of said slide such that said slide member is in an extended position; grasping said slide member in said extended position and pulling said slide member towards a breech end of said pistol thereby racking said pistol; and returning said slide member to said retracted position to ready said pistol for firing.

21. A pistol slide having a top surface, side surfaces adjacent said top surface, a breech end, and a muzzle end opposite said breech end, said pistol slide including:
-
at least one extendable and retractable slide member located proximate said breech end of said slide, said slide member extending approximately laterally outwards from said side surface when said slide member is in an extended position; wherein said slide member is removably secured to said slide by magnetic contact.
