A firearm with various improvements over the 1911 handgun.

A triggering mechanism for a weapon may include a moveably arranged trigger; an actuator slidably arranged along a path; and a releasable coupling. The releasable coupling member may be configured to couple the actuator with the trigger such that when a pulling motion is exerted on the trigger, the actuator moves in a first direction along the. An adjustable stop member may be configured to stop the movement of the actuator in the first direction at an adjustable stop position, such that further pulling motion on the trigger causes the actuator to be released from the trigger and to be moved in a second direction along the path. The second direction is different than the first direction. A sensor may be configured to detect movement of the actuator in the second direction and in response to the detection transmit a trigger signal.

A safety pin locks a barrel latch while the firearm discharges a round of ammunition. The barrel latch safety locking mechanism is incorporated into the frame and is actuated by the trigger assembly. The barrel latch safety locking mechanism engages the barrel latch to prevent movement during firing keeping the barrel latch engaged with the barrel. The firearm is further comprised of a slide switch that is connected to the barrel latch that allows a user to disengage the barrel latch for loading.

A barrel has a barrel body that extends a barrel length and a bore extending through the barrel body. The bore has a cartridge chamber section and a rifled section with a bore diameter. A cartridge shell fits within the cartridge chamber section and the projectile extends from the cartridge chamber section into the rifled section. The cartridge shell with the projectile has a shell length within the bore, the barrel length is less than twice the shell length. The rifled section has rifling grooves between rifling lands, and each of the rifling lands has a land width. The groove diameter is greater than the land diameter by an amount that is more than one half of the land width. The barrel body has an extractor assembly with an arm retractably extending from a cavity. The arm can rotate in the cavity when extended and does not rotate when retracted.

The application pertains to a modular firearm frame. The frame has a length which is straight at a top and wherein the straight length then extends downward to form a grip. The frame comprises a recessed socket face located at a position in the straight length of the frame. A removable finger interface is configured to fit within and attach to the recessed socket face. Advantageously, the removable finger interface may one or more accessories so that accessories may be readily added, removed, or changed without any permanent alteration of the frame.
