Abstract
An internal firing pin safety mechanism for a pistol, for example an M1911 80-Series pistol, which is activated by the beaver tail, rather than the trigger. The mechanism's constituents are comprised of a beaver tail, which engages a beaver tail lever when gripped, which in turn engages a plunger lever. The plunger lever then pushes up a firing pin block that has a concave opening, which allows the firing pin to pass through and strike the pistol's chamber.
Claims2
A firing pin safety apparatus for an M1911 80-Series pistol comprising a firing pin, a grip portion having an outwardly extended portion, a grip lever having an elongated protruding portion, and a plunger lever having a firing pin block and a notch to movably engage with the protruding portion of the grip lever, wherein in a locking position, an angular movement in a counterclockwise manner of the plunger lever triggers an upward movement of the firing pin block to engage with the firing pin and prevent an axial movement thereof.
