Trigger mechanism for handguns

A safety for a hand firearm with a firing lever, a firing pin, a safety element allocated to the firing pin, a trigger rod that can be activated by a trigger, and a transmission element, which is coupled to the trigger rod and through which the safety element can be moved from a safety position for blocking the firing pin into a released position for releasing the firing pin. To guarantee a high degree of safety against undesired firing of a shot even for a small trigger path and low trigger weight, the transmission element contains a control element, through which the transmission element can be activated in a predetermined trigger position of the trigger by means of the firing lever for moving the safety element into the released position.
