  • Patent number: 11982503
    Abstract: As disclosed herein, the technology relates to firearms including a modular trigger mechanism designed with the capability to provide a practice pistol that accurately and realistically mimics various models of center fire pistols and firearms. In one embodiment, a trigger mechanism comprising a static sear, trigger, and sear bar. In another embodiment, the trigger mechanism provides the user of a practice pistol the realistic sense of a center fire pistol trigger in that its positional geometry, weight of pull, weight at break, and trigger position at disconnect reset point, will perform within a realistic range.
