  • Trigger safety for a firearm
    Patent number: 11933562
    Abstract: A trigger mechanism for a firearm comprises a connector adapted to be pivotally connected to a firearm receiver, a trigger pivotally connected to the connector, and a trigger bar pivotally connected to the connector. The trigger and trigger bar are configured such that the trigger engages the trigger bar to block the connector from pivoting until the trigger is depressed rearwardly. The connector is permitted to pivot once the trigger is fully depressed rearwardly such that the trigger is not engaged with the trigger bar, whereupon pivotal motion of the connector drives the trigger bar rearwardly to release a striker of the firearm to fire the firearm.
