PISTOL

FIELD: mechanical engineering, in particular, firing mechanism. SUBSTANCE: the specific feature of the offered pistol is the fact that the firing mechanism is positioned in the slide, and the fixed barrel - above the magazine; the cartridge feed mechanism is made in the form of a three-arm lever, guide used to orient the feed of the loaded cartridge to the level of the barrel axis, made on the front part of the slide, and slide block made on the receiver; the three-arm lever and hammer are installed in the slide on the same axle for turning, the lever with its one arm is spring-loaded relative to the slide, the second arm has a lug at the end for engagement with the cartridge base, shifted relative to the lever plane and positioned in the plane of the hammer; the third arm rests on a stop made on the receiver in the extreme front position of the slide; the guide is made in the form of two L-shaped section parallel arranged bosses with chamfers in the lower part for engagement with the cartridge base when the slide is moving to the extreme front position; and the slide block has four conjugated working sections, the first of them is positioned at an angle to the barrel longitudinal axis for engagement with the second arm of the three-arm lever at backward movement of the slide and thus lifting of the lug under the cartridge base in the magazine, the second working section is parallel with the barrel longitudinal axis and intended for coming-out of part of the loaded cartridge from the barrel face; the third working section is positioned at an angle to the barrel longitudinal axis for complete extraction of the loaded cartridge from the magazine and lifting of it for engagement with the extracted cartridge case; and the fourth working section is parallel with the barrel axis and intended to provide free motion of the three-arm lever, during which the cartridge case is extracted and the guide is freed for lifting the loaded cartridge; installed in the upper part of the slide are the retainer of the loaded cartridge in its extreme upper position on the barrel longitudinal axis and the spring-loaded lock of the extreme upper position of the loaded cartridge; the cartridge case extractor has a cut-out for the cartridge case, made on one of the guide bosses, and a retractable extractor coupled with the receiver or barrel and positioned on the side of the cut-out for engagement with the bottom of the extracted cartridge case when the slide is moving backward to br
