Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a threaded barrel rod for a semi-automatic pistol that includes a barrel rod stop and a Receiving Capsule for aligning with the feed ramp of the barrel to support and depress the follower of a standard pistol magazine. The Receiving Capsule also includes a button that activates an electro-magnet to reset the trigger. The use of the invention allows for easier and more reliable operation of the pistol or other firearm.

Problems solved by technology

With common semi-automatic pistols specifically, dry-fire practice can be inefficient in general, but more cumbersome based on action type: Single-action only (SAO), Double-action / Single action (DA / SA), or Double Action (DA).
A common inconsistency in shooting which requires practice is re-acquiring sight picture after firing.
Additionally, the lack of trigger reset or trigger pull change without a reciprocating slide creates a disruption to the shooter as they have to manually rack the slide rearward in between trigger presses.
Despite the trigger being active and pressable multiple times without any additional user activity, the lack of slide reciprocation diminishes the effectiveness of live-fire practice.
In DA / SA pistols such as the P226 manufactured by SIG SAUER INC., the user will be able to pull the trigger multiple times, however the trigger pull is not realistic.
Dry fire practice without a reciprocating slide to reset the hammer and change the trigger pull, as well as lack of a sight picture disruption is inefficient.
SA or SAO pistols such as the GLOCK 19 manufactured by GLOCK INC as well as many others are far more difficult and inefficient to use for dry fire practice, despite being the most popular actions in modern pistols.
This process greatly diminishes the value of dry fire practice as it is not realistic or efficient.

Embodiment Construction

[0035]FIG. 1 is an embodiment of the full barrel RSD in its collapsed state. The Barrel Rod Stop 11 attaches to the end of the Threaded Barrel Rod Housing 12. This can be attached with threading on the inner and outer of the BRS and TBRH respectively, through a locking lug style system, or permanently affixed. It is desired to keep the total length adjustable for maximum compatibility with various barrel lengths, however that can also be achieved with various sized buffers which can be affixed or attached between the BRS and TBRH to accommodate various barrel lengths. A goal in one embodiment is to ensure a tight fit between the BRS and / or BRS and buffer and barrel of the firearm. The TBRH is designed to sit inside the firearm barrel, providing a connection between the BRS and Receiving Capsule 10. An end user in one embodiment would feed the TBRH through the barrel of the firearm (e.g., a semi-automatic pistol with the action open and / or slide locked to the rear). The end user woul...

Abstract

A Reciprocating Slide Device for use with a semi-automatic pistol or rifle, which will simulate the action of the firearm by use of an electromagnet upon user activation of the trigger, and a spring that reciprocates the slide in order to reset the trigger thereafter.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 844,761 entitled “METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IMPROVED SIMULATION OF FIREARMS USAGE” filed in the name of Packes, Jr. on Dec. 6, 2019, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]This disclosure generally relates to firearms safety, and in particular it relates to safe practice with semi-automatic pistols.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0003]Firearms are widely owned and used in modern society. Regarding pistols, semi-automatic actioned pistols and rifles have gained worldwide popularity for their simplicity of use, reliability, and safety for various applications.[0004]Virtually all owners of pistols and rifles including military, police, and citizens practice pistol and rifle techniques without live ammunition in order to gain proficiency in shooting fundamentals. This is commonly referred to as ‘dry-f...
