Pistol dry fire device

Abstract

This pistol dry fire device enables multiple dry fire trigger pulls with just one racking of the slide or cocking of the semi-automatic double action only pistol without any modifications to the pistol or the standard magazine. Since the device is constructed from an impact resistant material that is inserted behind the slide and in front of the flush mounted hammer, the hammer does not contact the firing in when the device is properly positioned, rotated 90 degrees and locked in place, preventing damage to the pin, but does allow the hammer to fall and the trigger to reset as when live fire is conducted. This reset then allows for another trigger pull without racking the slide. The device also creates a visual failsafe condition without interfering with the pistol's normal functions or sights.

I claim: 
     
         1 . In combination with a double action, semi-automatic pistol having a recessed hammer movable from a cocked position to an energy release position and a firing pin, a dry firing device composed of a resilient, energy absorbing material molded into a single piece, shaped to be easily inserted into the pistol, locked in place in the path of the hammer preventing contact between the hammer and firing pin when dry firing the pistol and removed from the pistol frame without the need to modify the pistol or magazine in any manner. 
     
     
         2 . A dry firing device as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said device, when locked in position, provides for multiple pistol dry firings with only a single racking of the slide or cocking of the firearm. 
     
     
         3 . A dry firing device as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said device projects from the pistol frame when locked in place so as to be readily visible, indicating the pistol is in a failsafe condition, without interfering with any of the pistol's functions or the view along the sights.
