Abstract
A trigger bar for a semi-automatic firearm. The trigger bar includes a longitudinal body with a rearward lateral arm. The arm includes surfaces for engaging the sear and the drop safety lifter of the firearm. The surfaces are configured to reduce trigger pre-travel distances by reducing a trigger travel distance prior to drop safety lifter engagement, sear engagement, and striker release. An over-travel stop reduces a trigger over-travel distance.
