| I believe this is fairly unique usage, but not new for Ruger in that there is no "slide," but rather a receiver as in a bolt-action or semi-auto rifle, semi-permanently attached to the barrel. In other words, it would take a gunsmith with proper tools to remove the barrel from the receiver just like on a rifle--it's screwed into the receiver. Inside the receiver is a reciprocating bolt, as in the rifles mentioned. Usage has always been this way with the Ruger .22 auto pistols. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: "Deep blue anodized receiver"? This is the second time I've seen the slide referred to as the receiver, the first being in a James Lee Burke novel, The Neon Rain. So now I'm wondering; is this a legitimate usage? Can the slide of a semiauto pistol really be the "receiver" rather than the frame being that? Any opinions or (preferably) documentation? Stu Image below from Mark Freburg - Image Title: photos  |
