take-down lever

When dealing with small arms that use a lever in the operation of field-stripping, the term 'take-down lever' is used. It describes the wing of metal attached to a pin which retains the slide, bolt or barrel. Most take-down levers, like take-down tabs, are found on hand pistols, due to their ease of use, yet relative inconspicuity. Notable examples of the take-down lever include John Browning's 1911, the Beretta 92 and M9 and most lines of SIG Sauer hand gun.
