Abstract

A firearm 10 having a selectively movable slide portion 12 which includes at least one serrated radius or shoulder edge 14, 16 and which allows the firearm 10 to be selectively cycled by engaging the at least one serrated edge 14, 16 with a surface, such as table edge 32 , thereby allowing for selective and relative movement between the frame 7 and the slide portion 12.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 ) A firearm having a side upon which at least one engagement portion is disposed. 
     
     
         2 ) A firearm having a slide portion which has a top surface having opposed shoulder edges which are each linearly coextensive and longitudinally coextensive to said top surface and wherein said firearm further includes a plurality of engagement portions which are disposed upon at least one of said opposed shoulder edges. 
     
     
         3 ) The firearm of  claim 2  wherein said engagement portions each project away from said top surface. 
     
     
         4 ) The firearm of  claim 3  wherein each of said plurality of engagement portions are substantially identical. 
     
     
         5 ) A firearm having a selectively movable slide portion which includes at least one serrated edge which allows the firearm to be selectively cycled by selectively engaging the at least one serrated edge with a surface. 
     
     
         6 ) The firearm of  claim 5  wherein said at least one serrated edge projects away from said slide portion.
