Appl. No.:

14/280447

Inventors:

Robert Louis Beck - Carlsbad CA, US

International Classification:

F41A 17/74

Abstract:

A safety apparatus for striker-fired weapons, mountable at the back end of the weapon's slide and comprising a spring loaded button associated with a ram bar, wherein, when the spring loaded button is actuated by a user, the ram bar temporarily displaces a component of the weapon's firing mechanism, such that, although the weapon's trigger can still move full range, discharge of the weapon is prevented and the weapon is thus temporarily in safe mode; and wherein, as soon as the user releases the spring loaded button, the spring loaded button returns to its position before actuation by the user, causing the ram bar to stop the temporary displacement of the component of the weapon's firing mechanism, the weapon being thus returned to its normal, ready-to-fire mode.
