Fire control/trigger mechanism
A trigger mechanism or fire control for trigger operable devices includes a housing; a sear having a sear body coupled to the housing and including a primary engagement surface and an active sear support reset geometry; and a sear support coupled to the housing and having a body with a sear engagement surface and a passive sear support reset geometry. The primary engagement surface of the sear is moved into an overlapping condition with the sear engagement surface of the sear support as the sear is moved from a discharged position to a reset position after actuation of the trigger operable device. In addition, interaction between the active sear support reset geometry and the passive sear support reset geometry causes a mechanical displacement of the sear support to a reset position.

TRIGGER GROUP FOR STRIKER-FIRED FIREARMS
Trigger groups for striker-fired firearms have a firing pin assembly connected to a slide and operable to reciprocate between a rearward retracted position and a forward extended position, the firing pin assembly including a retention surface, a trigger assembly including a sear surface configured to selectively engage the retention surface to releasably restrain the firing pin assembly, the firing pin assembly being responsive to the trigger assembly to release from the retracted position to the extended position in response to movement of the trigger assembly from the forward trigger position to the rearward trigger position and to release from the retracted position to the extended position in response to movement of the trigger assembly from the rearward trigger position to the forward trigger position, the trigger assembly including a retainer movable between a clear position and a blocking position.

Striker assembly and associated firearm and method
A striker assembly including a striker elongated along a striker axis, a sear member, and a stop element. The sear member is connected to the striker, extends outwardly from the striker axis, and is rotatable about the striker axis. The stop element is movable between at least a stop safety position and a stop firing position, wherein the stop element is positioned to inhibit the sear member from rotating about the striker axis when the stop element is in the stop safety position, and wherein the stop element does not inhibit the sear member from rotating about the striker axis when the stop element is in the stop firing position.

Safety device for a firearm
A safety device for a firearm that makes it possible to prevent a shot from being fired, without blocking the rearming function, the said safety device comprising a retainer that can be moved between a stopping position that blocks the moving parts of the weapon in a rear position, and a released position that allows the said moving parts to move in both directions, the said safety device comprising a safety element that can move between a position that blocks the retainer in the stopping position and a position that releases the retainer, the said safety element bearing against an immobile part of the safety device and the said safety element being able to be moved towards the position that releases the retainer through a rearward movement of the moving parts.
