Abstract
A firearm includes a manual safety assembly. The manual safety assembly includes a first manual safety lever that is removably attachable to a second manual safety lever. Each of the manual safety levers includes a lever portion and a connection portion that extends transversely from the lever portion. A blocking lever extends from the connection portion of the first manual safety lever so that the blocking lever is substantially parallel to the first manual lever portion. The manual safety assembly is coupled to the firearm so that the manual safety assembly may be configured in an engaged position in which the blocking lever inhibits movement of a trigger bar of the firearm to prevent the firearm from firing. The manual safety assembly may be moved into a disengaged position that allows movement of the trigger bar.

A manual safety assembly comprising:
- a first manual safety lever including a first lever portion and a first connection portion, wherein the first connection portion extends transversely from said first lever portion;
- a second manual safety lever including a second lever portion and a second connection portion, wherein the second connection portion extends transversely from said second lever portion, and wherein said second manual safety lever is connectable to said first manual safety lever;
- a blocking lever, wherein said blocking lever is attached to and extends transversely from and forward with respect to said first connection portion of said first manual safety lever;
- and
- wherein said blocking lever is substantially parallel to said first lever portion.
A firearm comprising:
- a frame including a first sidewall and a second sidewall, wherein a frame interior is defined within said frame;
- a slide, wherein said slide is attachable to said frame;
- a trigger assembly positioned within said frame interior, wherein said trigger assembly includes a trigger bar, and wherein said trigger bar includes a trigger bar extension that extends substantially perpendicular from a rearward end of said trigger bar;
- a manual safety assembly including:
- a first manual safety lever including a first lever portion and a first connection portion;
- a second manual safety lever including a second lever portion and a second connection portion, wherein said second manual safety lever is removably connectable to said first manual safety lever;
- and
- a blocking lever attached to and extending from said first manual safety lever, wherein said blocking lever is substantially parallel to said first lever portion;
- wherein said first lever portion of said first manual safety lever is exterior of said first sidewall of said frame, and wherein said second lever portion of said second manual safety lever is exterior of said second sidewall of said frame;
- wherein said manual safety assembly has an engaged configuration wherein said blocking lever prevents rearward movement of said trigger bar extension;
- and
- wherein said manual safety assembly has a disengaged configuration wherein said blocking lever is positioned to allow rearward movement of said trigger bar extension.
