Abstract: A sear assembly includes a sear block with a cavity configured to receive at least part of and at least one of a sear pivot, sear lever, sear catch and disconnector. The cavity has a slot with the sear catch configured for reciprocating sliding motion in the slot between a first position in which the sear catch engages a firing pin and a second position in which the sear catch disengages from the firing pin. The sear lever and sear pivot are configured for pivoting motion in the cavity. The sear lever is operatively connected to the sear catch. The disconnector is configured to engage the sear pivot and effect movement of the sear catch from the first position to the second position and to disengage from the sear pivot to allow movement of the sear catch from the second position to the first position.
Abstract: A single action, semi-automatic handgun has a slide, a firing pin assembly disposed in a hollow interior of the slide, and a trigger bow assembly disposed in a frame of the handgun below the slide. The trigger bow assembly comprises a trigger bow configured for reciprocating sliding motion. The trigger bow has a trigger bow lever configured for reciprocating sliding motion in plane generally transverse to the movement of the slide. The hand gun further comprises a sear assembly with a sear having a tab and a sear pin. The sear tab releasably engages the firing pin assembly and the sear pin releasably engages the trigger bow lever in a manner to enable successive discharging of the handgun upon successive actuation of the trigger of the firearm.

Abstract: A recoil operating pistol has a barrel and slide with at least a pair of flat mating surfaces extending along a substantial length of both the barrel and slide parallel to each other on opposite sides of the barrel. The matching flat surfaces of the barrel and slide allow relative sliding motion between the slide and the barrel when the at least a portion of the barrel is received in the hollow interior of the slide.
