Abstract
A firearm includes a frame having a trigger guard defined by an upper wall, a lower wall, a rear wall and a forward wall, and a trigger pivotally mounted to the frame, the trigger having a hole passing therethrough. A trigger bar is disposed in the hole and is transversely slideable therein between a fire position wherein the trigger is pivotable with respect to the frame and the firearm may be discharged, and a safe position wherein the trigger bar and the upper wall of the trigger guard interfere with one another such that the trigger is not pivotable with respect to the frame and the firearm may not be discharged. Transverse movement of the trigger bar out of the hole is prevented by contact of the trigger bar with the frame as the trigger bar is pushed in either transverse direction.
Claims23
A firearm incorporating a manually operable trigger safety for preventing accidental discharge of the firearm, said firearm comprising:
- a frame;
- a trigger pivotally mounted to said frame, said trigger having a hole passing therethrough;
- a trigger bar disposed in the hole in said trigger, said trigger bar being transversely slideable in the hole between a fire position wherein said trigger is pivotable with respect to said frame and the firearm may be discharged and a safe position wherein said frame and said trigger bar interfere with one another such that said trigger is not pivotable with respect to said frame and the firearm may not be discharged;
- and
- wherein transverse movement of said trigger bar out of the hole in said trigger is prevented by contact of the trigger bar with said frame as the trigger bar is pushed in either transverse direction.
