ABSTRACT:
A method of reversibly converting pistols that have been manufactured as double action pistols to single action, target pistols. The double action pistols have an initial trigger stroke for the double action performance thereof. The length of the trigger stroke is substantially reduced by the removable placement of an abutment between opposed portions of the trigger and the frame, i.e., to the top of the trigger, to substantially shorten the full length of the trigger stroke. The hammer is modified to include an intermediate notch of sufficient depth and positioned to serve as a safety in the event that the hammer is dislodged in its fully cocked position. Any other mechanisms that inhibit the conversion to single action are removed, depending upon the pistol's structure. Such mechanisms may include the firing pin safety mechanism. The trigger, sear and hammer may be modified by replacement with parts having the desired features.
