Abstract
An improved dual functioning safety mechanism for all weapons having moveable bolts. The invention permits conventional operation of the safety by a manual lever external of the weapon. The improvement is an arrangement of parts responsive to manual cocking of the bolt to automatically move the safety from the 'SAFE' to the 'FIRE' position. This enables law enforcement and military personnel to immediately fire upon cocking the weapon without the additional necessary step in conventional weapons of disengaging the safety manually. At the same time, the usual advantages of a manual safety are provided.
