ABSTRACT:
A single shot handgun of the type having a frame, a receiver, a firing chamber in the receiver, a firing pin, a hammer for driving the firing pin, a barrel connected to the receiver being pivotally attached to the frame so that the barrel and receiver can be pivoted from a battery position to an open position. A mechanism for locking the receiver in the battery position comprises a longitudinal slot cut into the rearward end of the receiver. A longitudinal, second slot is cut into the face of the frame that abuts the rearward end of the receiver when the receiver is in the battery position. A longitudinal lug is received in the second slot, with the lug being slidable into a forward position wherein it makes engagement with the slot in the receiver to lock the receiver in its battery position. Finger engagements are provided at the ends of the lug for withdrawing the lug from engagement with the slot in the receiver to allow the receiver to pivot to its open position. Also provided are an improved structure for mounting the hammer in the frame of the handgun, an improved gun sight, and an improved structure for mounting the gun handle.
