Claims25
A hybrid trigger assembly for a firearm, the hybrid trigger assembly comprising:
- a pin hole;
- and
- a trigger rotatable about the pin hole, the trigger comprising:
- a skeleton;
- and
- a molded portion that is molded and permanently attached to the skeleton such that the molded portion at least partially encompasses the skeleton, wherein the skeleton comprises:
- a central portion that is disposed adjacent to and at least partially surrounds the pin hole;
- a first portion extending in a forward direction from the central portion;
- a second portion extending in a rear direction from the central portion, wherein the rear direction is opposite and parallel to the forward direction;
- and
- a third portion extending in a lower direction from the central portion, wherein the lower direction is perpendicular to the forward direction,
- wherein a part of the molded portion is disposed at a part of the skeleton adjacent to the pin hole in a direction opposite to that of a finger interface portion of the skeleton.
