An elastomer shock absorber for the trigger assembly of a firearm utilizing an elastomer shock absorber positioned between a moving part of the trigger assembly and the frame assembly. Adhesive mounting of the elastomer to the back of the trigger or positioning the elastomer internal to the frame assembly both provide significant reductions in the shock transfer of trigger energy to the gun body, thereby increasing the accuracy of the firearm.

Trigger armor systems and grip armor systems are provided. The trigger armor system may include an integral finger rest, grip, and knuckle guard. The grip armor system may include an integral angle grip and well grip. Trigger and grip armor systems including an integral trigger armor system and grip armor system are also provided.

An intrinsically safe firearm may include a handle and a frame connected by a pivot pin. One or more latches of the firearm can temporarily fix the firearm in a stowed orientation or a deployed orientation. In the deployed orientation, a magazine of the firearm can be removed from the handle; a slide of the firearm can be removed from the frame; a magazine safety allows a firing pin to strike a primer of a round in the firearm; and a trigger of the firearm is accessible to discharge the round in the firearm. In the stowed orientation, the magazine is not removable from the handle; the slide is not removable from the frame; the magazine safety prevents the firing pin from striking the primer; and the trigger of the firearm is not accessible.

A firearm operating system includes a housing, a central pivoting member disposed within the housing, a trigger including a portion disposed within the housing and a portion extending outside the housing such that the portion of the trigger within the housing includes a hole and at least one finger that extends in a first direction from the hole. Due to movement of the trigger, the at least one finger presses against the central pivoting member to cause the central pivoting member to rotate.

The present disclosure relates to a firearm which may include a frame with a first outer wall, and a second outer wall opposite the first outer wall. A laser module may be disposed between the first and second outer walls. An alignment pin may be in communication with the first outer wall and may be configured to move the laser module relative to the frame.

A self-loading pistol comprising a magazine shaft which can receive a magazine; a retainer which can hold the magazine releasably in the magazine shaft; and a magazine release which can cause the retainer to release the magazine. The magazine release can be operated from both sides of the self-loading pistol and comprises two release buttons which are arranged on different sides of the self-loading pistol. The magazine release further comprises two release levers which are disposed on different sides of the self-loading pistol. The magazine can be released by actuating either release button and/or by actuating either release lever.
