Abstract
A firearm has a firing device, a manually cockable and selectively releasable hammer for actuating the firing device and a selectively activable laser beam emitting device for providing an aiming mark on a target of the firearm. The laser beam emitting device is activated through cocking of the hammer to provide the aiming mark. The cocked hammer is released with a finger trigger for actuation of the firing device only after activation of the laser beam emitting device and provision of the aiming mark.
