ABSTRACT:
The apparatus of this invention relates to certain improvements in a handgun which is generally known as "Colt Government Model Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45." Basically the aforementioned handgun has a handgrip housing to which a trigger is connected, a barrel which is connected through a pivoting link to the trigger housing, a slide movably mounted upon the barrel between a cartridge firing position and a cartridge ejection position, the barrel pivoting slightly during the movement of the slide, the link which connects the barrel to the trigger housing including an eccentric sleeve so as to permit adjustment of this pivoting movement of the barrel, the barrel including a transverse opening communicating with the firing chamber so as to permit observance of a cartridge located in the chamber when the slide is in the cartridge firing position, a bushing assembly supporting the outer end of the barrel in a press fitting manner so as to tightly hold the barrel in position during firing, a recoil absorber assembly located between the trigger housing and the slide which employs absorption of energy by an air chamber, by a spring and by a pillow of a resilient material.
