Abstract
Provided are multi-mode firearms, triggers, kits, and methods of use that allow a user to select between a semi-automatic firing mode and a pull-and-release firing mode that fires the firearm upon both pulling the trigger and releasing the trigger, by using the selector switch or other mechanism to change the amount the trigger can move. A safe mode that prevents the firearm from firing may also be selected in various example embodiments by using the selector switch or other mechanism to change the amount the trigger can move. In certain example embodiments the trigger cannot move at all in safe mode, can move more in semi-automatic mode, and can move yet more in pull-and-release mode. The modes can be positioned for selection in any order. Kits comprising a trigger assembly and a selector assembly are provided for retrofitting conventional semi-automatic firearms.
