Claim:
Double action trigger mechanism with short reset, consisting of a striker mechanism connected to a trigger mechanism, the striker mechanism consisting of a striker placed in a tiered channel formed in the rear part of the slide of the firearm and coaxial to the barrel, and the striker shaped like a pin with two enlargements at either end, namely the front enlargement and rear enlargement, as in front of the front enlargement there is a pointed tip that is used to pierce the primer of the chambered round, and on the rear enlargement there is a prong that engages the trigger mechanism, and between the two enlargements there is an axially floating ring with external diameter greater than the external diameter of the front enlargement, and in the rear part of the tiered channel there is a bushing fixed in place with a longitudinal channel in its lower part for the prong of the striker to pass through, and the internal diameter of this bushing is greater than the external diameter of the rear enlargement of the striker so the striker is able to move axially in the tiered channel and the bushing fixed in its rear part, behind which bushing the tiered channel is closed by a lid, a coil mainspring is located around the striker, and the trigger mechanism of the firearm consists of a trigger placed in the area below the barrel that pivots on an axis affixed to a frame-grip of the firearm, and there is a trigger bar which front end is connected to the trigger and pivots on it, and on its rear upper end it has a sear that engages the prong of the striker and there is also spring that returns the trigger at its original position, and in the area below the slide there is an angled spring-type stop with two curved edges that allows the trigger bar to slide downwards at the end of its rearward movement and the slide has a ramp that pushes the spring-type stop to the side, characterized in that the striker ( 1 ) has a middle enlargement ( 1 b ) which is located closer to the front enlargement ( 1 c ) in such way that the rear face of the middle enlargement ( 1 b ) serves as a forward rest for the mainspring ( 4 ) and its front face serves as a rear rest for a safety spring ( 5 ) that is weaker than the mainspring, and the front face of the safety spring ( 5 ) rests on the rear face of the front axially floating ring ( 3 ) whose internal diameter is smaller than the external diameter of the front ( 1 e ) and middle ( 1 b ) enlargements and whose external diameter is greater than the external diameter of the front enlargement ( 1 c ), as between the rear end of the mainspring ( 4 ) and the bushing ( 6 ) there is a second rear axially floating ring ( 2 ) whose internal diameter is smaller than the external diameter of the rear ( 1 a ) and middle ( 1 b ) enlargements, and a spring ( 12 ) that returns the trigger ( 10 ) is pushing the trigger ( 10 ) forward and the trigger bar ( 14 ) up.
