- b) a trigger configured to be pivotally coupled to the firearm and releasably engaging the hammer to selectively engage and hold the hammer, and to selectively release the hammer to strike the firing pin when pulled by a user;
- c) a selector configured to be pivotally coupled to the firearm and releasably engaging the trigger to selectively engage and hold the trigger from being pivoted, and to release the trigger to be pulled by the user, the selector having at least a safe position to hold the trigger, and a fire position to allow the trigger to be pulled;
