Abstract
A lockable firearm safety comprising a cross bolt mechanism cooperating with rotatable combination dials. The cross bolt safety is axially displaceable between safe and fire positions. The firearm safety is mounted substantially within a recess defined in the firearm receiver or trigger guard. Each dial includes an internal raceway, an inner face and a connecting recess defined within one side. The cross bolt includes radially projecting shoulders. Each radially projecting shoulder cooperates with a respective inner face to generally prevent movement of the cross bolt from the safe position to the fire position. Each radially projecting shoulder cooperates with a respective connecting recess at a single rotational position of the combination dial to allow axial movement of the cross bolt from the safe position to the fire position. The cross bolt prevents discharge of the firearm in the safe position and allows discharge of the firearm in the fire position.
