A firearm with dual-acting safety mechanism in one embodiment includes a slide movably carried by a frame, hammer, sear operable to hold the hammer in and release it from a cocked position, and firing mechanism including a trigger and trigger bar which collectively operate to actuate the sear to release the hammer. The safety mechanism includes right and left actuator levers coupled together and cooperating with a safety rocker. The safety rocker is operably interfaced with the trigger bar and pivotably movable between two positions. Moving either actuation lever to activate the safety mechanism rotates the safety rocker which simultaneously both blocks the trigger bar from movement and displaces the trigger bar to disengage the sear which can no longer be actuated via a trigger pull. In one embodiment, the safety mechanism is further operable to lock the slide in the closed breech position when the safety is activated.

Firearm trigger mechanisms with rotatable linkage members and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. A firearm trigger assembly configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a trigger, first and second linkage members, and a sear. The first linkage member, second linkage member, and sear are arranged in an over-center configuration that securely locks the sear in a first position. Pulling on the trigger causes the trigger to rotate about a fixed pivot point and push on one of the two linkage members, forcing the linkage members and the sear out of the over-center configuration. The force from a striking mechanism forces the sear and the linkage members into a collapsed configuration, releasing the striking mechanism and firing the firearm. This two toggle configuration of the trigger assembly provides crisp and reliable release of the firearm.

The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for an electromechanical trigger that is implementable in a gun. The gun may include a trigger mechanism, a trigger sensing mechanism, and a fire control manager. The fire control manager may identify a trigger break based on the trigger sensing mechanism generating a voltage, and the fire control manager may transmit a signal to an actuator mechanism based on the trigger break. A detent mechanism may be dislocated in response to a force applied to a trigger mechanism, and the trigger sensing mechanism may generate the voltage based on the dislocating of the detent mechanism. Dislocating the detent mechanism may correspond to satisfying a trigger break threshold. The actuator mechanism may be displaced in response to the signal, and displacing the actuator mechanism may result in a projectile being propelled from the gun.

In some embodiments, a fire control assembly comprises a frame, a hammer, a trigger and a disconnector. The frame is arranged to be supported along a trigger axis and a hammer axis. The hammer is rotatable about the hammer axis and the trigger is rotatable about the trigger axis. The frame comprises a hammer stop arranged to impede rotation of the hammer. The frame comprises a preloading mechanism arranged to contact a safety selector.

A trigger assembly for a firearm is disclosed wherein the firearm includes a receiver, a safety selector and a hammer. The trigger assembly includes a trigger having a pivot axis, a front hook which is constructed and arranged to move with trigger rotation, a rear hook which is cooperatively arranged with the front hook and a spring which is positioned between the front hook and the rear hook. The front hook and the trigger are constructed and arranged relative to the safety selector and relative to the hammer in order to allow the hammer to be recocked from an upright position with the safety selector in a “SAFE” position. This particular construction provides a trigger assembly which is constructed and arranged as a two-stage, drop-in trigger assembly which is compliant with the European Standard for an M4/M16 (AR) platform.

A handgun, including a safety lever for disengaging a sear, the safety lever located under a slide of the handgun and extending along a longitudinal axis within a body of the handgun, wherein the safety lever includes a) a sear switch located external to the body of the handgun, and is configured to be positioned by a user in one of at least two positions along the longitudinal axis of the handgun and configured to move the safety lever with the sear switch to an elected position; (b) a sear tab at a rear end of the safety lever near a sear of the handgun, wherein when the sear switch is in a first position the sear tab does not interfere with the action of the sear and when in a second position the sear tab causes the sear to tilt so that the sear is disengaged and cannot come in contact with a striker of the handgun to fire a bullet.
