Abstract
A firearm trigger assembly is disclosed. The disclosed assembly may include a trigger, a disconnect, and a hammer, each of which may be configured to be spring loaded when installed in a firearm receiver. Installation of the trigger assembly in a firearm receiver may include pivotally coupling the trigger and disconnect to the firearm receiver using a trigger pivot pin, and pivotally coupling the hammer to the firearm receiver using a hammer pivot pin. The trigger may include an integral sear feature configured to provide a mechanical stop to the hammer. The disconnect may be configured to be at least partially located in a disconnect slot located alongside or adjacent to the trigger sear feature when the disconnect is pivotally coupled to the trigger. The disconnect and hammer may each include integral cam features configured to buffer hammer contact during firearm recoil.
