Claim:
An auto-loading firearm with manual safety mechanism comprising: a frame defining a longitudinal axis; a slide supported by the frame for axial movement thereon; a hammer pivotably mounted on a rotatable hammer pin supported by the frame; a trigger pivotably supported by the frame; a trigger bar movably coupled to the trigger and operable to cock the hammer in response to pulling the trigger, the trigger bar being movable between a firing position in which the trigger bar is engageable with the hammer for discharging the firearm and a standby position in which the trigger bar is not engageable with the hammer to prevent discharging the firearm; and a manual safety comprising a rotary-operated eccentric camming member fixedly disposed on the hammer pin and being rotatable via rotating the hammer pin, the camming member movably engaged with the trigger bar, the camming member extending and being elongated in a direction perpendicular to the hammer pin, the trigger bar being moved between the firing and standby positions via rotating the camming member; wherein manually rotating the hammer pin concomitantly rotates the eccentric camming member which engages and displaces the trigger bar downwards away from the hammer into the standby position.
