A firearm, comprising:
- a lower receiver and a trigger pivotal relative to the lower receiver, the lower receiver including a hammer moveable from a cocked position toward an uncocked position to fire the firearm, the lower receiver further including a sear assembly positionable to secure the hammer in the cocked position, wherein the hammer is releasably engageable to the sear assembly;
- a grip assembly attached to the lower receiver;
- and
- an operating system for electronically firing the firearm, the operating system including:
- a switch actuator and a switch for electronically firing the firearm;
- and
- a trigger lever connected to the trigger;
- and
- a roller connected to the trigger lever, wherein the trigger lever is moveable in response to a pull of the trigger to displace the roller along the switch actuator to depress the switch actuator against the switch to fire the firearm.
