Abstract
A firearm comprises a frame and firing control housing insert detachably mounted in the frame. A rear securement feature includes a locking slot formed in the rear wall of the insert engaging a locking protrusion formed in the rear wall of the frame which retains the rear portion of the insert in the frame. A front securement feature includes a rotatable pin inserted through holes in the insert front portion and frame. A radial retention protrusion on the pin is interposed between the insert and frame defining an interlock feature. The pin is rotatable into a first position wherein the protrusion passes through a complementary configured frame aperture allowing the pin to be removed, and a second position wherein the protrusion is not aligned with the aperture to engage the frame and prevent pin removal.
