Trigger assembly for use in a weapon. Components of the trigger assembly include a spring, a hammer, a disconnector, a trigger and other components related to a trigger assembly.

A dynamically balanced trigger system for a firearm. The dynamically balanced trigger has a specific design, orientation, weights, and cutouts such as to provide a balanced trigger, where the chances of accidental discharge due to drops, shocks, and impacts are dramatically reduced. Unlike other triggers, the dynamically balanced trigger system has a trigger with a center of gravity near the center point of the trigger, which weights the trigger components against itself to prevent movement, such as may be caused by dropping the firearm, thereby helping prevent an unintentional discharge of the firearm.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to trigger mechanisms for firearms. In one aspect of the present disclosure, the trigger mechanism can include a linkage between a striker sear and a main sear to control an amount of force exerted on the main sear by the striker sear. A portion of the force exerted on the striker sear by the striker can be exerted on the main sear through the sear linkage. In another aspect of the present disclosure, trigger mechanisms are described which additionally, or alternatively utilize one or more biasing members to provide a variable trigger pull weight.

A firearm trigger assembly has a frame, a hammer pivotally connected to the frame, a trigger element pivotally connected to the frame and operable to selectively restrain and release the hammer in response to movement of the trigger element between a restraint position and a release position, a trigger lever movably connected to the trigger element and movable with respect to the trigger element between a first unactuated position and a second actuated position, and the trigger element being configured to remain in the restraint position when the trigger lever is in the first unactuated position, in any of a range of positions intermediate the first unactuated position and the second actuated position, and when in the second actuated position with an application of force to the trigger lever below a selected force threshold.

Modular systems including a trigger unit for a firearm, wherein the trigger unit is designed as a drop-in trigger unit to complement a trigger pocket of the lower receiver of the firearm, and that the trigger pocket is received by the trigger housing, preferably completely.

A trigger unit for a firearm, including a rotatable trigger lever in which the trigger lever has a trigger bar which lies below the trigger axis and is moved when the trigger bar is actuated against a barrel direction, and a fire-control/safety selector for selecting at least one “safe” and one “fire” position, where a locking lever rotatably mounted about a locking lever axis is arranged in the trigger unit and is biased in a circumferential direction by a locking lever spring, and that the locking lever axis, when viewed in the barrel direction, is arranged behind the trigger axis, and the locking lever is designed to releasable fix the fire-control/ safety selector in a selectable position.

A screw and spring assembly for adjusting trigger pull force comprises (1) a trigger housing, (2) a trigger shoe that is inside of the trigger housing (typically sitting on a bushing that runs through the housing and the trigger shoe) (3) a spacer, (4) a trigger-shoe compression spring, (5) an adjustable screw, and (6) a pressed-fitted compression spring that “locks” the adjustable screw into place in various positions, wherein the pull force needed to pull the trigger is different at each of the various positions.
