Abstract
A pistol has a frame with a striker operably connected to the frame. A trigger is operably connected to the frame. A transmission element is operably connected between the trigger and striker to motivate the striker to discharge the firearm in response to actuation of the trigger. The transmission element is movable between a first position in which operation connection from the trigger to the striker is enabled, and a second position in which operation connection from the trigger to the striker is disabled in response to acceleration forces due to dropping the pistol.
