HANDGUN SLIDE WITH INTEGRAL COMPENSATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011730 titled 'HANDGUN SLIDE WITH INTEGRAL COMPENSATOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a slide for a semiautomatic handgun that includes a slide body with a top wall, side walls, and a distal end. The slide body has an open region between the top wall and the side walls, which is designed to receive a barrel of the handgun. The distal end portion of the top wall has one or more ports positioned between the distal end of the slide body and the muzzle end of the barrel.
- The slide body of the handgun has a top wall, side walls, and a distal end.
- The open region between the top wall and side walls is designed to receive the handgun barrel.
- The distal end portion of the top wall has one or more ports.
- The ports are positioned between the distal end of the slide body and the muzzle end of the barrel.
Potential Applications:
- This slide design can be used in the manufacturing of semiautomatic handguns.
- It can be applied in the production of firearms for military, law enforcement, and civilian use.
Problems Solved:
- The slide body provides a structure to house and guide the barrel of the handgun.
- The ports in the distal end portion of the top wall allow for the release of gases and recoil management.
Benefits:
- The slide design allows for the proper alignment and functioning of the barrel.
- The ports help to reduce muzzle rise and improve overall shooting accuracy.
- The open region provides easy access for barrel installation and maintenance.
Original Abstract Submitted
a slide for a semiautomatic handgun includes a slide body extending along a bore axis and having a top wall, side walls extending downward from lateral margins of the top wall, and a distal end defining a distal opening intersected by the bore axis. the slide body defines an open region between the top wall and the side walls, the open region sized and configured to receive a barrel of the semiautomatic handgun extending along the bore axis and so that a muzzle end of the barrel is spaced axially from the distal end of the slide body. a distal end portion of the top wall defines one or more ports positioned between the distal end of the slide body and the muzzle end of the barrel to be received in the open region.
