Abstract:
A fire control system for a firearm, comprising:a sear; a trigger; a trigger bar in operative connection with said trigger so that when said trigger is pulled, said trigger bar moves; a hammer in operative connection with said trigger bar so that, when said trigger is pulled, said hammer is cocked, said hammer having a cocked position and an uncocked position, said hammer being held in said cocked position by said sear; and decocking means for moving said hammer from said cocked position to said decocked position and for operatively disconnecting said trigger bar from said hammer so that said hammer is not responsive to movement of said trigger bar, said decocking means being adapted to raise said sear to cause said hammer to fall, whereupon said hammer, by falling, forces said decocking means to lower said sear before said hammer reaches said decocked position so that said sear catches said hammer.
