Abstract

The invention pertains to a trigger mechanism for handguns, particularly pistols, with a striking lever (2), a first striking spring (3) that is assigned to the striking lever (2) and serves for acting upon the striking lever (2) in the firing direction, a trigger (12) and a trigger rod (13) that is connected to the trigger (12) and releases the striking lever (2) in a tensioned position in order to fire a shot. In order to generate a constant firing energy with variable trigger resistances and trigger paths, the striking lever (2) is acted upon in the firing direction by a second striking spring (5) that is arranged parallel to the first striking spring (3).
