ABSTRACT:
A safety stop for small arms having a slide, which keeps a catastrophic fure of the slide from causing shooter injury is disclosed. An improvement in the ejector and slide permit them to function together as a safety stop to prevent a broken slide from continuing off the back of the receiver in the event of catastrophic failure of the slide. A widened section on the ejector is accommodated in the ejector slot of the slide during normal firing of the weapon. An internal shoulder fixed relative to the slide and projecting into the ejector slot near the front of the slot is provided. Upon catastrophic slide failure during firing, the rear portion of the slide travels beyond its normally most rearward position and the internal shoulder engages the widened section of the ejector, stopping the rearward motion of the slide and precluding injury to the shooter.
