A reliable and robust electromechanical safety device maximises the security of a weapon by preventing accidental firing situations. The safety device includes a safety element for connecting or disconnecting a kinematic shooting chain; the safety element is arrangeable inside the weapon at its rear part, connecting with the trigger bar and the backstrap of the weapon. Therefore, by controlling the position of the trigger bar, it is possible to control the safe and firing position of the weapon, in addition to, and independent of, the other original weapon safeties.

Provided is a single-action trigger assembly that includes a pivoting trigger member, a sear/disconnector mechanism, and a trigger bar operably connecting the trigger member and the sear/disconnector mechanism. The sear/disconnector mechanism includes a slider assembly longitudinally reciprocated by the trigger bar. The slider assembly includes a tripper member carried on a slider frame that, when the trigger is pulled, moves a sear trip member to allow displacement of a sear and release a striker.

The present invention relates to a pistol comprising a firing pin safety device integrated into a slide (5) of the pistol comprising a firing pin (1) comprising a lateral extension (25) comprising at least one safety lug (10,11) and a firing pin butterfly safety (2) positioned on an axis of rotation (27) fastened to the slide and parallel to the axis of translation of the firing pin (20), said butterfly safety (2) being able to rotate in a vertical plane between a firing position and a blocking position, said butterfly (2) comprising at least one bearing surface (17,18) on which the at least one lug (10,11) rests when said butterfly is in the blocking position and at least one recess (14) able to allow the at least one lug (10,11) to pass when said butterfly is in the shooting position, the center of mass of said butterfly (2) being on its axis of rotation (27) and the axis of rotation (27) being a main axis of inertia of said butterfly (2).

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.

A disconnector trigger bar safety for a semi-automatic pistol is provided and includes a trigger bar having a firing pin end having a sear surface and a cam surface. The trigger bar has an inside surface disposed adjacent to the cam surface. A disconnector is moveable from an inward position to an outward position and has a cam surface to receive the cam surface of a trigger bar. An inset portion is provided on the trigger bar at the firing pin end that has a bottom surface. A protuberance on the side of the disconnector is provided to mate with the inset portion of the trigger bar. The protuberance has a top surface matable to the bottom surface of the inset portion. Rearward movement of the trigger bar causes the cam surface of the trigger bar to slide against the cam surface of the disconnector to move the firing pin end of the trigger bar downwardly. The disconnector moves to provide clearance for the trigger bar to move upward. The top surface of the protuberance mates with the bottom portion of inset portion of the trigger bar to prevent downward movement of the trigger bar. Forward movement of the trigger bar causes the top surface of the disconnector to disengage from the bottom portion of the inset portion of the trigger bar and causes the disconnector to move to allow the cam surface of the trigger bar to reengage with the cam surface of the disconnector.

An apparatus and method for modifying a handgun to accept an optical sight comprises a modified slide mechanism adapted to include a flat recessed rear section configured to receive an adapter plate for mounting an optical sight. Various embodiments include modified internal components used to replace stock components what will no longer fit within the modified profile of the slide mechanism. Replacement of the slide mechanism and associated internal components will allow a user to add an optical sight to an existing handgun.
