ABSTRACT:
A handgun comprises a frame, a trigger mounted on the frame for movement between a rest position and a depressed position, a firing pin movable along a firing path between a cocked condition remote from a cartridge chamber and a fire condition proximate the cartridge chamber for firing a cartridge, and a biasing member for biasing the firing pin toward the fire condition. A transmission member is disposed between the trigger and the firing pin, via the firing path, and is responsive to depression of the trigger to displace the firing pin against the bias of the biasing member toward the cocked condition. A deflecting element deflects the transmission member out of the firing path of the firing pin to release the firing pin from the cocked condition and allow the firing pin to be propelled by the biasing member to the fire condition to fire the cartridge.
