SP380

Features

About

The SP380 is a semiautomatic, compact handgun chambered in .380 Auto. Prototyping and fabrication took place in my own garage, where I used my precision mini-mill and 3d printer to bring my design to life.

I used AutoCAD and design thinking to conceptualize the mechanics of the assembly, create component interfaces, and make necessary material selections.

Overview

Its slide release is behind the thumb, making it easier to unlock. Similarly, the magazine release was placed under the pinky.

  • 7 + 1 round capacity

  • Standard red dot mounting pattern

  • Slide lock

  • Magazine release

  • Versatile iron sights

  • Custom right-handed grip

How it Works

Slide and Rail Design

The SAP-380 operates on a slide-rail system, which almost eliminates chamber-breach clearance completely. Additionally, the slide and breach were separated, allowing the slide to act as a replacement part.

  • Greatly improves accuracy; slide flanges always contact the mating rail grooves

  • More consistent cycling and firing

  • Allows the slide to work independently from the frame

  • Promotes normal wear onto the slide, not the bolt

  • Cost-effective slide can be replaced easily

Heavy Duty Steel Frame

The steel frame coupled with the PETG polymer grip keeps the whole assembly very rigid. The barrel is threaded into the frame, which is ideal for accuracy.

  • Minimizes dimensional variation each repetition

  • Moves the center of mass directly over the hand

  • Greatly reduces vibrations felt in the palm

  • Eliminates slide and barrel deflection

Striker Ignition

A heavy weighted striker rod was employed into the fire control system to ensure consistent and reliable firing.

  • Additional weight in striker body increases impact force

  • Hardened tip to resist deformations

  • Heat treated striker built to endure significant use and wear

  • Angled striker notch results in a light, consistent tigger pull

Sear-Impinging Delay

The fire control sear doubles as an impingement delay system, allowing the components to function with lighter springs. When a round is fired, the impingement system locks the slide in place until an allowable chamber pressure is reached after which it is unlocked, allowing the slide to travel rearward and the trigger bar upwards,

  • Ensures a complete reset every shot

  • Doesn’t compromise accuracy unlike dropping barrel systems

  • Dulls the effects of sharp-felt recoil

SPC-22

Features

The SPC-22 is a semi-automatic .22 Long Rifle pistol initially designed for pest control and target shooting. Its small size and light-weight construction makes ATV and horseback transportation logistical, while its action provides superior precision.

  • Houses a Ruger MKII barrel

  • Frame includes left, right, upper, and lower picatinny rails for accessories

  • Created several barrel guard and frame designs

  • Stock magazine holds 10 rounds +1

  • Magazine well adapter hosts Sig Sauer P322 magazines

  • Forearm stabilizing brace created to improve my shooting after a wrist injury

  • Receiver uses standard Armalite fire control group

How it Works

3-Point Rail System

Right-Handed Bolt

The 3-point system is composed of two rails that restrict the bolts movement horizontally and vertically. A third buffer spring rod acts as the third contact point, and it slightly curved to add horizontal spring force ensuring that the bolt is always in the same spot when closed.

  • Reveales a new tier of long precision when it comes to short barrels

  • Curved buffer rod accounts keeps the bolts tight and accounts for normal rail wear, improving usefull life

  • High-tolerance bolt and bolt breach ensure consistent and reliable firing

  • Stainless steel bolt construction resists corrosion and reduces wear

The following firearms designs are novel. All firearms are in complicance with local, state, and federal laws. Each firearm has been tested extensively and were designed around safety and reliability.
