AN IMPROVED SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL

摘要

A frame-mounted firing pin blocking piece for blocking a semi-automatic pistol firing pin which blocking piece at all times blocks the firing pin except just prior to and at firing. The blocking piece is rotated to its unblocking position by action of a trigger bar which bar is in turn positioned by the trigger and the firearm slide. A sear associated with the firing pin blocking piece permits such operation in single action, double action and re-set modes.
