A firing mechanism in which the hammer and trigger are interconnected by gears, so that the hammer can be cocked and fired simply by pulling the trigger in what is commonly referred to as double-action. The hammer is mounted so that it can pivot independently of the gears in order to discharge a cartridge. A sear connects one of the gears to the hammer so that it can be cocked by means of the trigger and then released when the trigger is fully retracted. A safety feature is also provided by mounting the hammer so that it is normally out of alignment with the firing pin and, thereby, can not accidentally discharge the gun. However, when the trigger is pulled the hammer is shifted bodily to bring it into alignment with the firing pin.

In a firing mechanism for a firearm having a frame, a hammer member mounted on a hammer pin in said frame for pivotal movement between cocked and fired positions, and a hammer spring urging said hammer member into its fired position and a trigger mounted on said frame for cocking and releasing said hammer member, the improvement comprising in combination therewith, a gear member pivoted on said hammer pin for pivotal movement independently of said hammer member, a gear-segment on said trigger meshing with said gear member for pivoting said gear member on manipulation of said trigger, a sear mounted on one of said hammer and gear members for cocking engagement with the other, and means for disengaging said sear from cocking engagement with said other member when said hammer member has been pivoted to a cocked position on retraction of said trigger in order to let said hammer member fall independently of said gear member under the pressure of said hammer spring.
