Abstract
A trigger mechanism having a sear block engaging a striker of a firearm, a pivot drop piece supporting the sear block in an over center configuration, a toggle sear supporting the pivot drop piece and engaging a finger piece via a set of sear surfaces, the toggle sear having a toggle sear fly weight, such that when pressure is applied to the finger piece to overcome the sear surfaces friction, the finger piece releases the toggle sear, the pivot piece collapses and allows the sear block to release the cocking piece or striker, wherein during the collapsing motions, movement of the toggle sear is initially damped by kinetic resistance of the fly weight, and later, completion of the collapsing motions are assisted by inertia stored in the fly weight, providing full disengagement of the sear block from the striker.
