Abstract:
1. A trigger and firing mechanism for a double-action, semi-automatic pistol comprising: a) a double-action trigger mechanism, b) a firing spring stop, c) a striker, slidably engaged in the pistol, said striker having a firing pin tip, a cocking notch, rest pads for a firing spring and for a striker spring, d) a striker spring positioned against a rest pad such that said striker spring exerts force on said striker in a direction away from a cartridge and adapted to interact via said striker with a firing spring, e) a firing spring positioned against a rest pad such that said firing spring exerts force on said striker in a direction toward a cartridge and adapted to interact via said striker with a striker spring, wherein in a sunk position of a firing pin tip and uncocked condition of a striker the precompressed force of the striker spring exceeds the precompressed force of the firing spring, but not to the extent as to prevent the firing mechanism from igniting a cartridge primer.
