ABSTRACT:
An improved breech lock adapted for locking the barrel and slide of a handgun together to provide for improved securement between these parts. Typically, the firearm is of the type having a slide and a relatively movable barrel along with a handgrip and trigger. The rear part of the barrel has an end configuration or conformation which cooperates with an opening or recess in the upper part of the slide. In the preferred form, the barrel has an end conformation, the forward part of which is shaped as a point configured to be received snugly in a V-shaped opening in the forward end of the recess in the slide. The breech lock provides for locking as between the slide and the barrel, preventing relative forward movement of the barrel with respect to the slide and further locking with respect to relative lateral movement as between the parts or vibration which could effect the accuracy of the firearm.
