A self-loading hand firearm with a barrel secured to a frame, a firing pin, a slide, and a closure which is held, in the front position of the slide, in a locking position on the frame and which is moved from the locking position into a release position by gas pressure of a fired projectile. The closure is formed at least in two parts with a closure locking mechanism, which has two lateral legs, and a closure impact base lying between the legs, the closure locking mechanism being provided at the legs with at least one protruding driver element, which engages in a recess of the slide, and with at least one retaining cam, which engages in a shoulder of the frame. The closure impact base and the closure locking mechanism are hinged to one another.

US12405074 - Locking device for installing a handle assembly of a handgun

A locking device for installation in a receiver assembly of a firearm. Unlocking the locking device allows removal of the slide assembly from the receiver assembly. The locking device includes a locking slider having a retaining lug, first and second guide members each formed on the locking slider, and a locking lever. The retaining lug may interact with a barrel to limit a movement of the slide assembly relative to the receiver assembly. The first and second guide members are received in first and second receiving slots, respectively, of a grip/receiver. The locking lever is pivotable about a pivoting axis and is couplable to the locking slider in such a way that the locking lever serves to actuate the locking slider. A transfer of the locking slider from a retaining position to a release position is effected by rotation of the locking lever.

US12405077 - Remotely activated firearm accessory

The invention relates to an electronic device that is used to block the accessibility of a firearms Trigger. Wherein an electronic device is mounted on a rail or rail accessory and is locked in place using a lock and frame allowing the device to fit an array of firearms. The lock and frame are in place to stop easy removal unless the possessor has the key to remove them. The device its self uses a battery to operate and picks up a transmission broadcasted from a Bluetooth within its programmed range by the use of a Bluetooth proximity detector. Once the transmission has been picked up it activates its locking mechanism in the form of a solenoid causing its pin to shift and allows a slide placed in front of the trigger acting as a second trigger to move back and forth allowing the movement of the firearms trigger. The slide is moved back into its original position by the use of a spring. When the Bluetooth is out of the device's proximity detectors programmed range, the solenoid returns to its locked state stopping access to the trigger. Making the trigger locking device a beneficial reusable safety device.

US12405078 - Compact space saving gun silencer

A compact silencer (suppressor) device for a firearm including multiple chambers which trap the gases from a projectile exiting the barrel of a gun to slow down the gases and reduce the temperature, sound, and flash associated with the projectile. In one embodiment, the first chamber which attaches to the barrel of the firearm includes sound baffling materials or gas porting baffles which vent gases from the second chamber passing rearward. The second chamber includes a chamber which can accommodate a retractable third chamber of the device, the second and third chamber of the device can have sound baffles to slow down the gases from the projectile.

US12405082 - Thumb-actuated locking holster

A holster for receiving and withdrawing a handgun has a proximal wall portion with a handgun retention mechanism thereon. The mechanism having a first lever with a tab portion for actuation and release of a trigger guard, the lever having a snap fit into a lever region without a separate pin. A belt engaging member covers the lever region capturing the first lever therein. If a second retention mechanism is used, another lever with a tab portion is positioned so the tabs are stacked, depressing one also depresses the tab behind it, such that both mechanisms are released. Overmolded polymer layers in the holster body provides a softer interior handgun engagement surfaces. The holster body is split forwardly with a threaded fastener for clamping onto the handgun. No holster body is beneath or rearward of the tab portion, configured as a thumb button, allowing smooth transition to gripping the handgun.
