Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5 , an embodiment of a slide stop lever 5 of this invention is adapted to be applied to a gun 100. The gun 100 includes a gun body 1, a barrel 2, a Glock 43 series slide 3, and a SIG P365 magazine 4. Here, Glock 43 series is not limited to only Glock 43. For example, Glock 43 series includes a plurality of models such as Glock 43, Glock 43X, and Glock 48. That is, the Glock 43 series slide 3 may be a Glock 43 slide, a Glock 48 slide, or a Glock 43X slide (which is the same as the Glock 43 slide).
The gun body 1 has a barrel receiving section 11 that extends in a front-rear direction, a grip section 12 that extends downward from a rear portion of the barrel receiving section 11, an internal space 13 that is formed in the barrel receiving section 11 and the grip section 12, and an accommodating groove 14 that is formed downwardly at a top side of the barrel receiving section 11 and that is communicated with the internal space 13. The barrel 2 is disposed at a front end of the barrel receiving section 11.
The Glock 43 series slide 3 is disposed on a top portion of the barrel receiving section 11 of the gun body 1, and is forwardly and rearwardly movable. During the firing of a bullet 200, the Glock 43 series slide 3 is pushed rearward by a rear force generated by the firing. Specifically, a first resilient member (not shown) is connected between the Glock 43 series slide 3 and the gun body 1. The first resilient member is used for forwardly restoring the Glock 43 series slide 3 relative to the gun body 1 to allow a next bullet 200 to be loaded. The Glock 43 series slide 3 has a latching groove 31 disposed at a bottom side thereof and corresponding to the accommodating groove 14.
The SIG P365 magazine 4 is inserted into an internal space 13 of the gun body 1 from a bottom portion of the grip section 12 of the gun body 1. It should be noted herein that, the gun body 1 may be exemplified as a Glock 43 series gun body, with the shape of the grip section 12 being modified to fit with the SIG P365 magazine 4. The SIG P365 magazine 4 includes a magazine body 41 having a bullet space 411, a follower 42 disposed in the bullet space 411, being upwardly and downwardly movable, and having a pushing part 421, and a second resilient member 43 connected between the magazine body 41 and the follower 42. The second resilient member 43 is used for returning the follower 42 upwardly to push the bullet 200 inside the bullet space 411.
The slide stop lever 5 is disposed in the internal space 13 of the gun body 1. The slide stop lever 5 has a pivoting section 51 pivoted to the barrel receiving section 11 of the gun body 1 about a pivot pole (not shown), a latching section 52 extending rearwardly from the pivoting section 51, and a mounting section 53 extending forwardly from the pivoting section 51 and mounted with a third resilient member 54. The third resilient member 54 is used to abut downwardly against an abutment structure (not shown) in the internal space 13 of the gun body 1 for driving the latching section 52 to swing downwardly. The latching section 52 has a rod portion 521 extending rearwardly from the pivoting section 51, a latching portion 522 protruding outwardly from the rod portion 521, an operating portion 523 disposed at an end of the latching portion 522 and extending downwardly, and a pushed portion 524 protruding inwardly from the rod portion 521 and located lower than a top of the rod portion 521. To further be specific, in this embodiment, the rod portion 521 of the latching section 52 of the slide stop lever 5 is plate-shaped, and has a top end 521 a and a bottom end 521 b. The pushed portion 524 is formed integrally with the bottom end 521 b of the rod portion 521. However, it should be noted that, in other embodiments, the rod portion 521 may be other structures other than a plate-shaped structure, such as a columnar structure. The pushed portion 524 may also be non-integrally formed with the rod portion 521 at any position lower than the top of the rod portion 521 and is not limited to this embodiment.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4-7 , pivoting of the pivoting section 51 drives the latching section 52 to swing up and down relative to the gun body 1 between an initial position (see FIGS. 4 and 5 ) and an abutment position (see FIGS. 6 and 7 ). As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the bullet space 411 of the SIG P365 magazine 4 is filled with a plurality of the bullets 200. The latching portion 522 is received in the accommodating groove 14 of the gun body 1 when the latching section 52 is in the initial position. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 , after the last one of the bullets 200 within the bullet space 411 of the SIG P365 magazine 4 is fired, the follower 42 of the SIG P365 magazine 4 moves upward to the top of the magazine body 41, and the pushing part 421 of the follower 42 of the SIG P365 magazine 4 is exposed from the top of the magazine body 41. At this time, the pushed portion 524 is pushed upwardly by the pushing part 421 of the follower 42 of the SIG P365 magazine 4 to move upward from the initial position to the abutment position. When the latching section 52 is in the abutment position, the latching portion 522 can be received in the latching groove 31 of the Glock 43 series slide 3 as the Glock 43 series slide 3 slides rearwardly due to the rear force, thereby preventing the Glock 43 series slide 3 from sliding forwardly. Thereafter, the user can re-fill the SIG P365 magazine 4 with bullets 200 and push the operating portion 523 of the slide stop lever 5 to release the Glock 43 series slide 3 and to load the next bullet 200.
In summary, the pushed portion 524 of the slide stop lever 5 of this invention is located lower than the top of the rod portion 521 to be pushed by the pushing part 421 of the SIG P365 magazine 4, so as to match the SIG P365 magazine 4 to each other. Further specifically, the slide stop lever 5 of this invention can simultaneously match the SIG P365 magazine 4 and the Glock 43 series slide 3.
