ABSTRACT:
The invention is concerned with a safety for a revolver in which the release button or thumb piece is provided with three positions, one of which is the normally open and non-firing position, a second of which is an intermediate, but normally closed, non-firing position, and a third of which is the normally closed and firing position. A spring mechanism is provided to hold the release button in its intermediate position while permitting movement to the first or normally open, or non-firing position, but preventing movement to the third or normally closed position or firing position. The button is connected with the conventional pawl blocking mechanism which prevents the firing of the ammunition when the button is in the intermediate or normally open position. In the intermediate position, while the mounting cylinder is closed, the pawl blocking mechanism prevents the pawl from actuating the ammunition in response to movement of the triggering mechanism, so as to provide for a safety while permitting the gun to be in a ready to fire position. The mechanism also includes a button engaging element which is held in place by means of a spring device, and a lever is attached to the bar to overcome the spring force so as to permit the button to be moved to the normally firing position.
