Abstract: Methods and systems for locking and operating firearms, particularly rifle models that have a safety selector that extends through the width of the weapon body. For example, a safety selector lock can be configured to attach to the lower receiver of an AR-15. A replacement, extended safety selector allows installation of a safety selector lock outside the body of the firearm, avoiding modification of the weapon's firing components. The safety selector is locked by an engagement pin engaging an engagement hole on a locking cap connected to an end of the safety selector, outside the weapon body. Some weapons have two SAFE positions; disclosed embodiments can provide two DIFFERENT SAFE positions—a OPEN SAFE (unlocked) and a LOCKED SAFE. By using an engagement hole with a single opening, the engagement pin engages the engagement hole, thus locking the safety selector, in only one of the SAFE positions.

Abstract: Lock construction for the hammer of bulletbore firearms of foldable construction. The invention prevents the rearward movement, of the striker by the effect of the pressures of the gases from the gunpowder on firing of the arm, and also the ending up of the detonator material into the striker hole. The lock construction comprises a support fork, fitted in connection with a spindle of a folding lock of the arm, the said support fork being, in connection with the firing of the arm, shifted by the force of a spring to a hammer locking position. In this locking position the support fork rests against the hammer and, locks it in its forward position and thereby prevents the striker pin from being shifted rearwards by the force of the gunpowder gases. When the arm is being folded, owing to a camming arrangement between the spindle and the support fork, the support fork pivots to a hammer unlocking position so that the hammer can be cocked.

Abstract: A safety mechanism for guns having an openable breech. Guns of this type have a manual lever for operating the breech locking mechanism. The invention provides a linkage between this lever and a trigger block member which prevents trigger actuation. As a result, the gun cannot be fired unless the breech is in a fully closed and locked position.

Abstract: An improved firearm. The width of the firearm does not exceed the minimum barrel size which will safely contain the chamber pressure of its designated caliber of ammunition. The firearm is further shaped, contoured and constructed for ready concealment on the person of a law enforcement officer. The side surfaces of the firearm are formed so that the purchase or "frictional forces" between the side surfaces and the body or clothing of a law enforcement officer tend to maintain the firearm in the desired position on the person of the officer. A special trigger-hammer mechanism prevents the gun from discharging if accidentally impacted or dropped and said trigger-hammer mechanism also requires that the hammer-firing pin be poised for firing by pulling the trigger, thus not allowing the firearm to be "cocked", further preventing an accidental discharge if the weapon is jostled while unattended.

Abstract: Sliding movement of the trigger guard of the firearm controls desired aspects of the operation of its firing and breech-locking mechanisms. Improvements are provided in a firing mechanism of the type that is maintained in a cocked condition by a toggle linkage; and in the breech-mounting, shell-extracting, cocking and breech-locking mechanisms of a firearm of the side-opening type.
