ABSTRACT:
A pistol comprises a substantially U-shaped magazine catch, which is slidably mounted in a track that extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the magazine. One leg of the magazine catch constitutes a pushpiece. The other leg of the magazine catch constitutes a locking member, which extends into a lateral slot of the magazine. A compression spring is provided, which extends along the track and holds the magazine catch in engagement with the magazine. To facilitate the alteration of the pistol from a condition for use by a right-handed person to a condition for use by a left-handed person, the track is provided in the detachable trigger guard and is open toward that surface of the trigger guard which adjoins the grip. The crosspiece of the magazine catch has a recess, which receives an abutment member, which is held in the track by stop noses against a movement along the track. The spring which acts on the pushpiece constituted by one leg of the magazine catch bears on the abutment member, which extends from the crosspiece as far as to the surface with which the trigger guard adjoins the grip. The latter has two slots for receiving the legs of the magazine catch.
