Abstract:
1. A trigger mechanism for a firearm, comprising: a hammer having a first end, a second end and a pivot point between said first end and said second end, said first end of said hammer having a seated position and a cocked position; a hammer spring biasing said first end of said hammer toward said seated position; a disconnect rest having a face, a sidewall and a ledge between said face and said sidewall; a sear assembly operable to translate along a longitudinal axis between a rest position and a break point position and further operable to move in an arc around a rotational axis from said break point position to a disconnect position, said sear assembly having a hammer side and a support side opposite from said hammer side, wherein said hammer side presses against and rotates said second end of said hammer as said sear assembly moves between said rest position and said break point position and thereby rotates said first end of said hammer around said pivot point from said seated position to said cocked position, and wherein said support side contacts said face of said disconnect rest as said sear assembly moves between said rest position and said break point position, wherein said support side comprises an edge positioned proximate to said ledge at said break point position, and wherein said hammer spring forces said sear assembly to said disconnect position as said edge moves past said ledge.
