ABSTRACT:
An improved safety mechanism for an automatic pistol of the type using a slide for moving and ejecting cartridges. A substantially flat slide guard is fixedly attached to the safety lock and is mounted in a spaced apart relationship with respect to the moveable slide. In this manner the fingers of the hand of the user are kept away from the slide when the gun is held in the firing position. A safety lock lever is attached to the slide guard thereby allowing the thumb of the user to operate the slide stop safety in the normal manner. For those pistols having a left and right safety lock lever a slide guard is located on each side of the gun thereby keeping the fingers of the user off the slide regardless of whether the user is using his right or left hand to operate the gun.
