1. A locking device for installation in a receiver assembly of a firearm, wherein the locking device serves for limiting a movement of a slide assembly relative to the receiver assembly, and wherein unlocking of the locking device allows removal of the slide assembly from the receiver assembly, the locking device comprising:
a locking slider comprising a retaining lug, the retaining lug configured to interact with a barrel received in the slide assembly of the firearm in a retaining position to limit a movement of the slide assembly relative to the receiver assembly;
a first guide member formed on the locking slider and configured to be received in a first receiving slot of a grip/receiver of the receiver assembly
a second guide member formed on the locking slider and configured to be received in a second receiving slot of the grip/receiver of the receiver assembly; and
a locking lever movable between the retaining position and the release position via the locking lever, the locking lever being receivable on the grip/receiver of the receiver assembly so as to be pivotable about a pivoting axis between a basic position and an open position, wherein the locking slider is couplable to the locking lever in such a way that the locking lever serves to actuate the locking slider, and wherein a transfer of the locking slider from the retaining position to the release position is effected by rotation of the locking lever.
