ABSTRACT:
A safety for revolvers comprising a revolver frame, having a recess therethrough, the recess being formed and having front and rear ends with at least one abutment catch intermediate the ends thereof. A firing assembly includes a hammer pivotally mounted in the frame and has a first portion pivotally operatively connected therewith. A thumbpiece is slidably disposed on the outside of the frame and projects through the recess. The thumbpiece includes an insert member slidably disposed in the recess and has at least one point substantially complementary to at least one abutment catch for releasable engagement thereagainst. A slide pin is displaceably disposed in the frame and connected to the thumbpiece for joint displacement therewith, yet mounted pivotally relative thereto. The slide pin has a second portion adjacent to the first portion of the hammer, the slide pin being movable between an operative position and an inoperative position. A cylinder disposed in the frame and operatively receiving the slide pin is in an operative position of the latter for retaining the cylinder in the frame, in the inoperative position of the slide pin, the latter being removed from the cylinder, whereby the cylinder is released and spring means operatively bias the thumbpiece and slide pin toward the abutment catch for holding the slide pin and thumbpiece thereagainst.
