ABSTRACT:
A shotgun includes an action that locks the firing pin in a retracted position when the action is not closed. In one embodiment, the firing pin is held in a retracted position without the use of a spring, which may fail over time. In another embodiment, the action includes a bolt slide that is configured to hold the firing pin in the retracted position when the action is open.
