Abstract
A trigger mechanism of a firearm includes a trigger movable between an initial position and a discharge position, a sear movable between a holding position and a half-cocked position, and a transfer element movable by actuation of the trigger between a holding position for holding the sear in the cocked position and a release position for moving the sear into the half-cocked position. A safety device is assigned to the trigger with two pendulums pivotable about a transverse axis and deflectable by impacts. The two pendulums are connected to the trigger in such a way that the trigger is forced into its initial position by at least one of the two pendulums during deflection of the two pendulums caused by impact.
