Abstract
A sear mechanism for a firearm pivotably mounts a sear body on a sear lever which is pivotably mounted on the firearm frame. An actuator lever is also pivotably mounted on the frame. The actuator lever is pivoted by a trigger bar connected to the firearm's trigger. Pivoting of the actuator lever when the trigger is pulled allows the sear lever to pivot. Pivoting of the sear lever allows the sear body to fall off of a surface on a striker, releasing the striker to discharge the firearm.
