Trigger mechanism with cam surface sear

A trigger mechanism for a firearm, comprising:

• a hammer having a first end, a second end and a pivot point between said first end and said second end, said first end of said hammer having a seated position and a cocked position;
• a hammer spring biasing said first end of said hammer in said seated position;
• a disconnect rest having a face, a sidewall and a ledge between said face and said sidewall;
• a sear assembly having a rest configuration, a break point configuration and a disconnect configuration, wherein said sear assembly comprises a block assembly and a guide rod, wherein said guide rod has a pivoting end and a rotating distal end, wherein said block assembly is positioned on said guide rod toward said distal end in said rest configuration and translates on said guide rod toward said pivoting end to said break point configuration, wherein said block assembly has a hammer side and a support side forming a wedge between said second end of said hammer and said face of said disconnect rest, said wedge forcing said second end of said hammer to rotate as said block assembly translates on said guide rod and thereby rotating said first end of said hammer around said pivot point from said seated position to said cocked position, wherein said support side of said wedge comprises an edge positioned proximate to said ledge when said sear assembly is in said break point configuration, and wherein said hammer spring forces said sear assembly into said disconnect configuration while forcing said hammer from said cocked position to said seated position as said edge moves past said ledge.

A trigger mechanism for a firearm comprising:

• a frame, said frame including a grip;
• a barrel connected to said frame;
• and
• a trigger assembly, said trigger assembly comprising a trigger operatively connected to said grip, said trigger assembly further including at least one firing pin, and a linkage to a sear comprising a cam surface and a guide, wherein said cam surface has a length extending from a first end to a second end, wherein a bearing end of said internal hammer engages said cam surface along said length from said first end to said second end as said cam surface is moved relative to said guide from a first position to a second position and pivots said internal hammer around a pivot point, and wherein a striking end of said internal hammer is moved from a striking position to a rearward position as said cam surface moves from said first position said second position and said internal hammer pivots around said pivot point.
