Abstract
A single shot firearm includes a barrel and a receiver assembled together and being rotatable relative to one another between a safety position, in which a firing assembly is prevented from moving forward far enough to allow a firing pin to strike a cartridge, and a firing position, in which a notch on the barrel allows the firing assembly to the move forward far enough to strike and discharge the cartridge. The firearm includes indicia on the barrel and receiver which indicate whether the firearm is in a safety position or a firing position, depending on their relative rotational positions. The firearm further includes a trigger guide which facilitates firearm discharge by a single smooth motion of the user's finger.
