A modular handgun system comprises an elongated universal trigger frame having a barrel locking block, a pair of slide rails, and an accessory rail. The trigger frame is adapted to have a trigger assembly mounted thereto. The system further comprises a grip frame having an elongated channel and a hand grip extending downwardly from the elongated channel. The trigger frame is removably mounted in the elongated channel of the grip frame. The accessory rail of the trigger frame is positioned forward of a forward end of the elongated channel of the grip frame so as to be exposed. The system further comprises a slide and barrel assembly slidably mounted on the slide rails of the trigger frame.

A mount for a firearm has a body having a first clamp configured to engage a first edge of the rail, a jaw movably connected to the body and having a second clamp opposed to the first clamp and operable with the respective clamps to engage respective opposed lateral edges of the rail, a spring biasing the jaw toward the body, and at least a portion of the spring being between the clamps. There may be a pushrod connected to a first one of the body and the jaw and slidably received by the other of the body and the jaw. The spring may be laterally positioned to one side of the pushrod. The spring may be a coil spring having a spring axis offset from a pushrod axis defined by the pushrod.

A hybrid molded assembly includes a trigger comprising a trigger skeleton and a trigger molded portion that at least partially encompasses the trigger skeleton, a hammer comprising a hammer skeleton and a hammer molded portion that at least partially encompasses the hammer skeleton, and a disconnector comprising a disconnector skeleton and a disconnector molded portion that at least partially encompasses the disconnector skeleton.

A number of embodiments of a firearm are disclosed where the firearm includes a magazine configured to hold the bolt in an open position when the magazine is empty. In one embodiment, the firearm includes a bolt stop mechanism that moves between a first position where it allows the bolt to cycle between an open position and a closed position and a second position where it holds the bolt in the open position. The magazine is configured to actuate the bolt stop mechanism to the first position when the magazine is empty.

A trigger assembly group for use in firearms is disclosed. The trigger assembly group comprises a primary trigger connected to a secondary trigger that is arranged and configured to reduce the incidence of accidental discharge caused by inadvertently rearwardly actuating a primary trigger. The disclosed primary trigger and secondary trigger are arranged and configured for linear movement within a housing. The secondary trigger includes locking wing members that move from engagement with upper locking housing grooves to lower housing grooves. The disclosed trigger assembly group further includes a trigger shoe connected to the primary trigger, wherein the trigger shoe comprises a channel formed therein. A lower portion of the secondary trigger is configured to move from a forwardmost position, extending outwardly from the front face of the trigger shoe, to a rearmost position in which the lower portion of the secondary trigger recedes into the channel of the trigger shoe.

A firearm, such as a rifle, has a trigger group operable by the user in order to control the shooting action. The trigger group includes a trigger and an adjustment device for adjusting the intensity needed to operate the trigger. The adjustment device includes a rod (151) movable by the trigger extending between a trigger end and a free end. A command member engaged with the rod is positionable in a predefined operating axial position. The rod slidably engages with the command member. A thrust spring acts on the rod between the engagement end and the command member. Elastic action of the thrust spring on the trigger is a function of the axial operating position of the command member.
