ABSTRACT:
A safety and dismantling device (10) for a trigger operated firearm (18) is provided which includes a lever (12). The lever is slidably movable relative to the firearm (18) from a `safe` position where it serves releasably to lock the trigger (20) against movement in that direction where it can activate the firing mechanism of the firearm (18), to at least a `fire` position, where it does not so lock the trigger. The lever (12) is located toward the front end of the firearm (18) and substantially in the same plane as the firearm (18). Movement of the lever (12) is through a slot (13) in the leading end of the trigger guard (28) of the firearm (18) and the lever can also move to a `dismantling` position where the slide (25) of the firearm (18) can be removed to allow access to the underlying components of the firearm (18) for dismantling purposes.
