Abstract
A trigger reset that is disposed in a firearm handle including an electric motor, a battery, a gear box and cam lobe mounted on a shaft of the motor. A reset bar assembly is secured to the cam lobe. As shaft turns, cam lobe moves to provide a reciprocating motion to reset bar assembly. The reset bar assembly may be biased in lateral directions via a spring or the like. Rearward movement of the firearm trigger causes movement of the reset bar assembly in a rearward longitudinal direction. When the trigger reset is actuated, the motor rotates the cam lobe moving the reset bar assembly in a forward position thereby urging the trigger to a reset position prior to actuating the next firing sequence. The reset trigger system further includes a switch defining a face portion that is positioned on the exterior surface of the grip and immediately below the trigger for easy accessibility when holding or firing the firearm.
