US12320599 - Firearm fire control mechanisms and related techniques

The patent describes a firearm with a safety bar that interacts with a safety selector and trigger, allowing it to switch between two configurations: one that prevents trigger actuation and another that permits it. This mechanism ensures that the sear can either engage or disengage with the hammer, controlling the firearm’s ability to fire.
