Abstract
A trigger safety for a firearm having a frame and slide. The safety includes a safety assembly frame mountable within the firearm frame. The safety also includes at least one actuator operatively attached to the safety assembly frame, the actuator being capable of selectively moving the safety assembly frame between a first position and a second position. The assembly frame also has an abutment surface. In the first position the abutment surface contacts a trigger bar of the firearm preventing movement of the trigger and discharge of the firearm while allowing the slide to be cycled and in the second position the abutment surface is not in contact with the trigger bar and the firearm can be discharged.
