Abstract
The invention relates to a drop-safety mechanism for a firearm having a pivot-mounted, trigger, said trigger being designed as an arm of a double lever, the other arm of which supports a counterweight that can be displaced between a rest position and a functional position. The counterweight is resiliently pre-tensioned in the rest position and strikes on a part of the firearm in the functional position to block the trigger from unintended firing.
