Abstract
A trigger assembly for a firearm includes a housing with an opening adapted to receive a trigger bar guide portion of a trigger bar. The opening includes a ridge that extends downward from an upper surface of the opening. The trigger bar guide is forced downward in the opening by a connector as the trigger is pulled to cause a first disconnect of a striker resulting in a first firing. Upon release of the trigger the trigger bar guide moves upward and upon return to a released position is forced downward to cause a secondary disconnect of striker resulting in a second firing.

A firearm comprising:
- a frame;
- a trigger;
- a firing pin;
- a connector mounted within the frame;
- a housing mounted within the frame and comprising an opening with a sloping ramp;
- a trigger bar movably attached to the trigger and movably in contact with the connector, the trigger bar comprising a trigger bar guide positioned within the opening of the housing, the trigger bar guide moving, upon contact of the trigger bar with a surface of the connector, in a first dimension from a first position upon pull of the trigger and moving in a second dimension down the sloping ramp to a second position that causes a first release of the firing pin;
- a ridge positioned to extend into the opening;
- wherein the trigger bar upon release of the trigger is caused to return to the first position and during the return to the first position contacts the ridge and is forced downward by the ridge in the second dimension to cause a second release of the firing pin.

A trigger assembly for a firearm comprising:
- a housing adapted to be mounted within a frame of the firearm, the housing having formed therein an opening having a first portion having a first vertical dimension and a second portion having a second vertical dimension, the first portion and second portion joined by a ramp to form a lower surface of the opening;
- a tooth positioned extending downward from an upper surface of the opening;
- a trigger bar adapted to be movably attached to a trigger of the firearm and further adapted to be movably in contact with a connector mounted to the frame to cause the trigger bar to be pushed downward upon pull of the trigger, the trigger bar having formed thereon a trigger bar guide adapted to be positioned within the opening of the housing, wherein the trigger bar guide moves upon pull of the trigger from the first portion of the opening along the ramp to the second portion of the opening to cause a first release of a striker of the firearm, the trigger bar guide moving upward in the second portion of the opening upon release of the trigger and upon returning to the first portion of the opening being pushed downward by the tooth to cause a second release of the striker of the firearm.

- a housing adapted to be mounted within a frame of the handgun, the housing having formed therein an opening having a first portion having a first vertical dimension and a second portion having a second vertical dimension, the first portion and second portion joined by a ramp to form a lower surface of the opening,
- a tooth adapted to be positioned to extend into the opening;
- a trigger bar adapted to be movably attached to a trigger of the handgun and further adapted to be movably in contact with a connector mounted to the frame to cause the trigger bar to be pushed downward upon pull of the trigger, the trigger bar having formed thereon a trigger bar guide adapted to be positioned within the opening of the housing, wherein the trigger bar guide moves upon pull of the trigger from the first portion of the opening along the ramp to the second portion of the opening to cause a first release of a striker of the handgun, the trigger bar guide moving upward in the second portion of the opening upon release of the trigger and while returning to the first portion of the opening being forced downward by the tooth to cause a second release of the striker of the handgun;
- a spring carrier;
- and
- a trigger spring adapted to be mounted around the spring carrier and further adapted to be mounted to compress upon a pull of the trigger and to force the trigger to a released position.
