A firearm with dual-acting safety mechanism includes a hammer, sear operable to hold the hammer in a cocked position, and trigger mechanism including a trigger and trigger bar which collectively operates to rotate the sear to release the hammer. The safety mechanism includes a safety mode selector or actuator cooperating with a secondary safety link. In one arrangement, linearly moving the selector actuates and rotates the safety link which simultaneously both blocks the hammer and displaces the trigger bar such that the sear can no longer be actuated via a trigger pull.

The present invention relates to a pin embodiment which enables firing a cartridge in superposed smoothbore shotguns with superimposed barrel within the space called frame and safety embodiment. The present invention specifically relates to a pin assembly and to a safety assembly which can be assembled and disassembled easily independently from the mechanical parts inside the frame within shotguns.

A chamber of a handgun includes a chamber body displaceable along a longitudinal axis, a firing pin guided to move axially in the chamber body, a firing pin spring associated with the firing pin and a small breech arranged at the rear end of chamber body. A sliding sleeve actuatable by a cocking slide is arranged to cock and uncock the firing pin spring. The cocking slide contains a control cam for axial displacement of the sliding sleeve by a slide part that can be moved in a straight line in the direction of longitudinal axis of chamber body and projecting rearward relative to small breech.

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 pistol comprises a frame with a slide operable to reciprocate on the frame. A trigger movably connected to the frame to move between a forward position and rear position, and a block element selectably interfacing with the slide and movable between a released position in which the slide is enabled to reciprocate and a locked position in which the slide is prevented from reciprocation. The block element is operably engaged to the trigger to move to the locked position when the trigger is in the rear position, such that the slide does not recoil after discharge when the trigger is held to the rear position.
