Claim 5:
6. A trigger mechanism for a firearm comprising:
a connector having an upper portion, a lower forward portion, and a lower rearward portion, said upper portion adapted to be pivotally connected to a firearm receiver,
a trigger having an upper portion and a lower portion and being pivotally connected between said upper and lower portions to said lower rearward portion of said connector,
a trigger bar having a forward portion, a rearward portion, and an intermediate portion between said forward and rearward portions, said forward portion pivotally connected to said lower forward portion of said connector,
a spring configured to engage said upper portion of said connector and said upper portion of said trigger to bias said lower portion of said trigger forwardly,
said trigger having a camming surface on a rearward side of said upper portion of said trigger, and
said intermediate portion of said trigger bar having a protrusion,
said camming surface configured to engage said protrusion to block said connector from pivoting until said lower portion of said trigger is depressed rearwardly,
said connector permitted to pivot once said lower portion of said trigger is fully depressed rearwardly such that said camming surface is not engaged with said protrusion,
whereupon pivotal motion of said connector drives said forward portion of said trigger bar rearwardly creating translational movement of said rearward portion of said trigger bar to release a striker of the firearm to fire the firearm,
wherein the pivot connection of said trigger to said connector is rearward of the pivot connection of said trigger bar to said connector, and the pivot connection of said connector to the firearm receiver is above the pivot connections of said trigger to said connector and said trigger bar to said connector, and
wherein said connector has an uppermost rearward portion and said trigger has an uppermost forward portion, and when said trigger is fully depressed rearwardly said uppermost forward portion of said trigger is flush with said uppermost rearward portion of said connector.
