Abstract:
A firing mechanism for a firearm is provided for reducing maximum trigger pull weight attributable to a sear and for reducing trigger pre-travel and over-travel distances. The firing mechanism includes a sear actuator with a trigger engagement leg that engages with a trigger bar at a reduced trigger travel distance. The firing mechanism also includes an increased trigger bar contact distance, thus reducing trigger pull weight.

Claim (Index 15):
The firing mechanism for the firearm of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a trigger bar biased in a forward longitudinal direction and pivotally connected to the trigger, whereby actuating the trigger in a rearward direction transmits rearward longitudinal movement to the trigger bar, the trigger bar including a generally vertical trigger bar sear contact surface; and a sear assembly comprising:\n a body having a sear fulcrum opening configured to receive a fulcrum body of the firearm having a fulcrum axis about which the sear is pivotal between at least a ready pivotal position and a firing pivotal position; and \n a trigger engagement leg extending from the body and including a generally vertical trigger leg engagement face configured for engagement by the trigger bar sear contact surface when the trigger bar is moved rearward, wherein the sear is rotated about the fulcrum axis when the trigger leg engagement face is engaged by the trigger bar sear contact surface, wherein a radius from a trigger bar engagement point on an outer edge of the trigger leg engagement face to the fulcrum axis is at least 0.23 inches.
