Abstract
A trigger assembly is configured for a firearm having a striker movable along a bore axis between a cocked position and a fire position. The trigger assembly includes a trigger operable between a resting position and a pulled position. A first sear is operably coupled to the trigger and the striker. When the striker is in the cocked position, the first sear is movable from an engaged position to a disengaged position in response to moving the trigger from the resting position to the pulled position. A second sear is movable from a blocking position to a non-blocking position in response to moving the trigger from the resting position to the pulled position. When the trigger is in the resting position, the second sear is positioned to halt forward motion of the striker from the cocked position to the fire position.
