Abstract
An elastomer shock absorber for the trigger assembly of a firearm utilizing an elastomer shock absorber positioned between a moving part of the trigger assembly and the frame assembly. Adhesive mounting of the elastomer to the back of the trigger or positioning the elastomer internal to the frame assembly both provide significant reductions in the shock transfer of trigger energy to the gun body, thereby increasing the accuracy of the firearm.
Claims17
A trigger energy absorption apparatus for use with a firearm having a trigger assembly moveably mounted for both a reset motion and a release motion in relation to a frame assembly, the release motion including a firing release position and a stop, the trigger assembly including a trigger body defining a trigger back, the apparatus comprising:
- a trigger energy absorption device including a main body made from an elastomer, the main body mounted as an external frame assembly mounting, the trigger energy absorption device positioned uncompressed between the trigger assembly and the frame, the trigger energy absorption device being compressed and continuously dampening acceleration of the trigger after the firing release position to the stop.
