Firearm firing pin safety catch - has block to prevent pin sliding forward until moved by trigger action

摘要

The firing pin (14) safety catch is used in portable firearms and pistols. It has a block (16) preventing the firing pin moving forward and is only acted on by the trigger (4). The block moves in the barrel (1) and consists of a pivoting lever. The blocking can be by block, bolt, rod or peg. In all cases, these are acted on by a spring (13). The block is moved by force from the trigger and can be acted on by a peg going through an opening in the trigger or a roller.
