Trigger assembly

A method of operating a firearm comprising a trigger assembly, a frame, and a slide, the trigger assembly comprising a trigger bar, a sear, and a disconnector, the method comprising:

• moving the trigger bar in a rearward direction from a forward trigger bar position to an intermediate trigger bar position with an upper leg of the trigger bar in a default leg shape to contact a sear engagement surface of the upper leg with a trigger bar engagement surface of the sear;
• moving the trigger bar further in the rearward direction from the intermediate trigger bar position to a rearward trigger bar position to rotate the sear from an engagement sear position to a disengaged sear position due to contact between the sear engagement surface and the trigger bar engagement surface, the sear contacting a striker of the firearm in the engagement sear position;
• releasing the striker of the firearm in a forward direction as the sear rotates from the engagement sear position to the disengaged sear position, releasing the striker causing the firearm to fire a cartridge;
• moving the slide in the rearward direction relative to the frame to deflect an upper arm of the disconnector from a default arm shape to a disconnected arm shape;
• and deflecting the upper leg from the default leg shape to a disconnected leg shape through contact between the upper arm and the upper leg to misalign the sear engagement surface of the upper leg from the trigger bar engagement surface of the sear.
