Disclosed herein is an enhanced fire control system for firearms having semi-automatic firing mechanisms. The system comprises a primary trigger, a secondary trigger, and a trigger stop having a stop riser. The trigger stop's stop riser limits breaking a trigger sear interface between the primary trigger and the firearm's hammer. The system is intended to reduce the risk of a firearm being unintentionally discharged as a result of the trigger being contacted with straps or other equipment the user is carrying or wearing, or as a result of contact with something in the environment.

A trigger mechanism for use in a firearm having a receiver with a fire control mechanism pocket, transversely aligned pairs of hammer and trigger pin openings in the pocket, and a bolt carrier that reciprocates and pivotally displaces a hammer when cycled. The trigger mechanism includes a hammer, a trigger member, and a locking bar. The hammer has a sear notch and is mounted in the fire control mechanism pocket to pivot on a transverse hammer pin between set and released positions. The trigger member has a sear and is mounted in the fire control mechanism pocket to pivot on a transverse trigger pin between set and released positions. The trigger member has a surface positioned to be contacted by hammer when the hammer is displaced by cycling of the bolt carrier, the contact causing the trigger member to be forced to the set position. The locking bar is pivotally mounted in a frame and spring biased toward a first position in which it mechanically blocks the trigger member from moving to the release position, and is movable against the spring bias to a second position when contacted by the bolt carrier reaching a substantially in-battery position, allowing the trigger member to be moved by an external force to the released position.

A firing mechanism provides a secondary interface between a hammer and a sear of a firearm that will automatically be engaged in case a primary interface between the hammer and the sear fails. In various embodiments, an actuator is employed to facilitate engagement of the primary and secondary interfaces.
