Method and apparatus for adjustable trigger assemblies for firearms

A method comprising:

• a. avoiding unintended discharge of a firearm, upon an unintentional jostling of a first firearm trigger, by a second firearm trigger temporarily blocking the mainspring guide from moving, by restraining a protrusion of the mainspring guide within the confines of a C-shaped extension of the second trigger, thereby keeping the hammer from rotating sufficiently for discharge;
• and
• b. discharging the firearm, upon an intentional trigger pull, by:
• i. intentionally pulling and rotating a blade of the second firearm trigger until the blade nestles within an elongated slot of a first firearm trigger;
• and
• ii. thereafter pulling and rotating the triggers together to unblocking the mainspring guide, thereby allowing the firearm to discharge.

A method comprising:

• a. avoiding unintended discharge of a firearm, upon an unintentional jostling of a first firearm trigger, by a second firearm trigger temporarily blocking the mainspring guide from moving, by restraining a protrusion of the mainspring guide within the confines of a C-shaped extension of the second trigger, thereby keeping the hammer from rotating sufficiently for discharge;
• and
• b. discharging the firearm, upon an intentional trigger pull, by:
• i. intentionally pulling and rotating a blade of the second firearm trigger until the blade nestles within an elongated slot of a first firearm trigger;
• and
• ii. thereafter pulling and rotating both triggers to allow the upper extension to release the protrusion from the confines of the C-shaped extension, thereby unblocking the mainspring guide to enable the hammer to rotate sufficiently for discharge.

A method comprising:

• a. avoiding unintended discharge of a firearm, upon an unintentional jostling of a first firearm trigger, by a second firearm trigger temporarily and directly blocking movement of a mainspring guide, by constraining a protrusion of the mainspring guide during the unintentional jostling, to prevent a hammer from rotating sufficiently for discharge;
• and
• b. discharging the firearm, upon an intentional trigger pull, by:
• i. intentionally pulling and rotating a blade of the second firearm trigger until the blade nestles within an elongated slot of a first firearm trigger;
• and
• ii. thereafter pulling the triggers together to unblock the mainspring guide assembly and enable the hammer to rotate off a sear, thereby allowing the firearm to discharge.

In an adjustable trigger assembly for a firearm, of the type having a trigger housing, pivotable trigger, mainspring guide assembly, mainspring, and an adjustment screw for adjusting the amount of trigger pull force necessary to discharge the firearm, the improvement comprising:

• a. avoidance means for avoiding an unintended discharge caused by an unintentional rotation of a trigger, wherein the avoidance means comprises:
• i. a first trigger having an elongated slot;
• ii. a second trigger pivotable within the slot;
• iii. both the first trigger and the second trigger are pivotally mounted within a housing;
• and
• iv. the second trigger has an upper portion, designed in size and shape, to engage a canted protrusion of the mainspring guide to block the mainspring guide from moving, within the housing, during an unintentional rotation of the first trigger.

A method comprising the following sequential steps:

• a. avoiding unintended discharge of a shotgun, upon an unintentional jostling of a first trigger, by a second trigger temporarily and directly-blocking a spring-biased mainspring guide from moving, by capturing a protrusion of the guide within an upper extension of the second trigger, thereby keeping the hammer from rotating sufficiently for discharge;
• b. racking the shotgun to reset the hammer, the first trigger and second trigger;
• and
• c. thereafter discharging the firearm, upon an intentional trigger pull, by:
• i. intentionally pulling and rotating a blade of the second firearm trigger until the blade nestles within an elongated slot of a first firearm trigger;
• and
• ii. thereafter pulling and rotating the triggers together to unblock the mainspring guide, thereby allowing the firearm to discharge.
