The present invention relates to a firearm, which includes a receiver and a barrel mountable to the receiver. A slide is mountable to the receiver so as to be movable between an open position and a closed position. A locking element is operatively associated with the barrel. The locking element is displaceable between an inactive position and an active position whereby, when the locking element is in the active position, the locking element engages the slide such that movement of the slide towards the open position is inhibited.

A slide for a semiautomatic handgun includes a slide body extending along a bore axis and having a top wall, side walls extending downward from lateral margins of the top wall, and a distal end defining a distal opening intersected by the bore axis. The slide body defines an open region between the top wall and the side walls, the open region sized and configured to receive a barrel of the semiautomatic handgun extending along the bore axis and so that a muzzle end of the barrel is spaced axially from the distal end of the slide body. A distal end portion of the top wall defines one or more ports positioned between the distal end of the slide body and the muzzle end of the barrel to be received in the open region.
