ABSTRACT:
In a pistol of the type having a firing pin formed of two linearly consecutive elements, that are either aligned or non-aligned with each other, a sear for engaging the hammer and an arming trigger bar for arming the trigger there is provided a safety device comprising a safety shaft transversely mounted in the breech block and carrying the rearward portion of the two-part firing pin. The safety shaft is angularly displaceable about its own axis, so as to activate and deactivate the firing pin. Further, the device has an intermediate rocker lever that engages a first cam surface of the safety shaft so as to arrest the sear in an inactive position when the firing pin is deactivated. This intermediate rocker lever is pivoted on the crown of the weapon so as to be positioned between the safety shaft and the sear. There is also provided a spring-loaded piston guided within the breech block and engaged by a second cam surface of the safety shaft, so as to act upon the trigger bar and to disengage the trigger bar from the sear when the firing pin is deactivated.
