Disclosed are implementations of an accessory mount for a machine gun spade grip. An example accessory mount is configured for attachment to a firearm spade grip and comprises: a bridge member having a top and a bottom, the top of the bridge member includes a mounting interface and the bottom of the bridge member includes a cutout adapted to receive a portion of the firearm spade grip therein; a clamp member removably attached to the bottom of the bridge member; an actuator arm having a base and a distal end, the base of the actuator arm is attached to the top of the bridge member; and a paddle actuator rotatably connected to the distal end of the actuator arm. Some implementations of the accessory mount include a cross-bolt safety axially displaceable between an active position, whereby rotational movement of the paddle actuator is prevented, and an inactive position.

A firearm (1), for example a pistol or a rifle, is described, wherein the drive mechanism (5) of the firing pin (6) is controlled by a trigger (T), a key or a button, laterally positioned on the firearm (1) and operable by the hand thumb. The firearm, with respect to the known art, is characterized by a reduced aiming distance (d1), which is the distance between the index finger (f1) and the longitudinal axis (X) of the barrel (2). This leads to a reduced recoil.

Implementations of an accessory mount for a machine gun spade grip are provided. A machine gun spade grip includes twin handles that are disposed on opposite sides of, and adjacent to, a thumb pad trigger mechanism for a firearm, such as a machine gun. The accessory mount is attached to the upper arm of the spade grip, adjacent one of the twin handles. One or more control devices used to operate weapon-mounted electrical accessories can be attached to the accessory mount. An example accessory mount comprises: a bridge member having a top and a bottom, the top of the bridge member includes a mounting interface and the bottom of the bridge member includes a cutout adapted to receive a portion of a spade grip arm therein; and a clamp member removably attached to the bottom of the bridge member.

A machine gun spade grip includes twin handles that are disposed on opposite sides of, and adjacent to, a thumb pad trigger mechanism for a firearm, a machine gun in particular. The accessory mount is attached to the upper arm of the spade grip, adjacent one of the twin handles. One or more control devices (or remote switches), used to operate weapon-mounted electrical accessories, can be attached to the accessory mount. An example accessory mount for a machine gun spade grip comprises: a bridge member having a top and a bottom, the top of the bridge member includes a mounting interface and the bottom of the bridge member includes a cutout adapted to receive a portion of a spade grip arm therein; and a clamp member removably attached to the bottom of the bridge member.

A trigger mechanism for semiautomatic and automatic firearms may include a trigger body having a trigger which extends rearwardly toward the back of a pistol grip so that a user may fire the weapon by pressing downwardly on the trigger with the user's thumb.
