Trigger blocking magazine disconnect safety mechanism

Abstract

A gun having a trigger block magazine disconnect safety mechanism includes a frame, a trigger, a block, and a spring. The frame has a magazine well configured to receive a magazine. The trigger is pivotably mounted in the frame and operable between a resting position and a pulled position. The block is between the trigger and the magazine well. The block is movable via receipt of the magazine in the magazine well from a blocking position to a non-blocking position. In the blocking position, the block obstructs movement of the trigger to the pulled position. In the non-blocking position, the block does not obstruct movement of the trigger to the pulled position. The spring extends through the block and biases the block toward the blocking position so that the block obstructs movement of the trigger to the pulled position when the magazine is absent from the magazine well.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
