Firing mechanism of a firearm
A firing mechanism for a firearm includes a frame, a barrel attached to the frame, a cylinder attached to the frame and including a chamber that is alignable with the barrel, and a latch pin in direct contact with the cylinder that moves forward to force the cylinder forward to directly contact the chamber with the barrel when a trigger is pulled.
1. A firing mechanism for a firearm comprising:
a frame;
a barrel attached to the frame;
a cylinder attached to the frame and including a chamber that is alignable with the barrel; and
a latch pin in direct contact with the cylinder that moves forward to force the cylinder forward to directly contact the chamber with the barrel when a trigger is pulled.
2. The firing mechanism according to claim 1 , further comprising a latch pin lever in communication with the trigger to move as the trigger rotates.
3. The firing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein, when the trigger is pulled, the latch pin is forced forward by a latch pin lever.
4. The firing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the latch pin is in direct contact with a latch pin lever.
5. The firing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein a direction of movement of the latch pin is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a direction of movement of a latch pin lever.
6. The firing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the latch pin includes a groove that is in slideable contact with a latch pin lever.
7. A firing mechanism for a firearm, the firing mechanism comprising:
a frame;
a barrel attached to the frame;
a cylinder attached to the frame and including a chamber that is alignable with the barrel;
a latch pin lever rotated by a spring to force the cylinder forward to directly contact the chamber with the barrel when a trigger is pulled.
8. The firing mechanism according to claim 7 , wherein a direction of movement of the latch pin lever is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a direction of movement of a latch pin.
9. The firing mechanism according to claim 7 , wherein the latch pin lever includes a hole that fits over a protrusion in the frame and pivots about the protrusion.
10. The firing mechanism according to claim 7 , wherein
the latch pin lever includes an angled surface such that a vertex of an angle of the angled surface is in a direction toward a latch pin, and
the angled surface is in slideable contact with the latch pin.
