A firing mechanism for a firearm includes a trigger, a forcing structure, and a spring within a cylinder, wherein while the trigger is pulled, the forcing structure moves to force the cylinder to contact a barrel and to force the spring to compress, and while the trigger is returned to an idle position, the forcing structure moves to allow the spring to decompress and to force the cylinder away from the barrel.

A method of firing a firearm includes compressing a main spring to rotate a latch pin lever; forcing a latch pin forward by the latch pin lever to force a cylinder forward toward a barrel; sealing or substantially sealing the barrel and the cylinder; and releasing a hammer to strike a cartridge while the barrel and the cylinder are sealed.

A Ruger® revolver has a cylinder release button for loading/unloading that is stiff. It is difficult to push into the frame to release the cylinder. A spring force keeps the cylinder locking rod pushed rearward into a locking hole. When the cylinder release button is pushed into the frame, a short lever arm moves the release arm pin forward to overcome the spring bias force rearward. The present invention attaches to the face of the release button to extend the lever arm from the fulcrum of the cylinder release rod. A bolt and/or glue can attach the extension lever arm to the face of the cylinder release face. A factory model could provide a one piece cylinder release rod with an extended rearward projecting face.

An apparatus to minimize short stroke in a revolver is provided wherein a first end of the transfer bar is pivotably disposed on the trigger adjacent to the first end of a hand, the second end of the transfer bar disposed adjacent to the firing pin of the hammer, wherein during a firing cycle, prior to the revolver being brought back to the ready-to-fire position, the trigger cannot be depressed until the trigger is first fully undepressed, wherein the second end of the transfer bar engages a transfer bar blocking surface of the hammer slot in the hammer to prevent the trigger from being fully depressed.

Provided is a trigger assembly that helps prevent malfunctioning of trigger assemblies in firearms. This is accomplished by the expedient of a convex curved projection on the upper surface of the actual trigger of the trigger assembly. Interfacing with this convex surface on the trigger is a mating concave curved projection having a surface with a radius that is similar to the radius of the trigger's concave curved projection. The trigger's concave curved projection extends relatively downwardly from the bottom side of the actual hammer of the trigger assembly. The relationship of the trigger and the hammer of the trigger assembly provides a trigger/hammer interface when the convex curved projection of the trigger is proximate the concave curved projection of the hammer. In this trigger assembly there is a captive disconnector having a disconnector engagement stabilizing projection formed as a portion of the disconnector. The stabilizing projection is generally opposite from the portion of the disconnector having a hook or small ledge where there is contact between the projecting elements of the disconnector and of the hammer. This disconnector engagement stabilizing projection limits the travel of the disconnector interfacing projection of the hammer from moving away from the disconnector engagement location of the trigger assembly.
