Abstract

A toy pistol formed by molding from relatively rigid plastic material and comprising a hollow elongated frame portion having a handle depending from one end, a composite tubular barrel and coaxial cylinder rearward thereof and of larger diameter than said barrel and supported within the frame, a piston slidable in the cylinder and having a rearwardly extending piston rod surrounded by a compression spring and having a transverse shoulder member adjacent but spaced from the piston, a trigger pivotally mounted adjacent the handle and having a sear engageable with the shoulder member when the piston is in rearward cocked position and the spring is compressed, and a simulated hollow breech slide slidable longitudinally upon the upper rearward part of the frame portion above the handle and operable when moved rearwardly to retract the piston rod and piston to cocked position to compress the spring and permit the sear to engage the transverse shoulder as aforesaid.
