ABSTRACT:
An improved firearm having a passive firing pin lock, a hammer drop mechanism, a V-block type barrel bushing, and square sight inlays is disclosed. The passive firing pin block prevents accidental discharge when the gun is dropped. The hammer drop mechanism permits the hammer to be safely lowered when a cartridge is present in the chamber without actuating the trigger. The V-block type barrel bushing accurately repositions the forward end of the barrel relative to the sights.-to provide maximum accuracy. The square sight inlays allow the user to quickly and precisely aim the firearm.
