A hand-held fire extinguisher having a cylinder containing a fire extinguishing mass under pressure, a plunger valve in communication with a nozzle, a trigger for opening the valve which is pivotally connected to the body of the valve and a handle facing the trigger. The valve body has a bore and a pair of apertures in the trigger aligned with both ends of the bore. A breakable sealing pin having points of weakness is inserted in the bore and the aligned apertures in the trigger. The trigger has a pair of opposed sides spaced from and parallel to the valve body which contain the apertures. The trigger sides are positioned so as to be outside of any vertical plane which would pass through the valve body.
