Abstract
A firearm having a firing pin block that does not affect trigger pull is disclosed. The firing pin block embodied in the present invention is actuated by a grip safety operably linked to a spring biased locking plunger to prevent accidental discharge of the firearm. An intermediate lever interposed between a grip safety lever and a firing pin locking plunger pivots on the hammer stud to reposition the plunger from the locked to the unlocked position only when the grip safety is properly depressed.
