Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Rifle safeties & the relation to: Firing Pin, Striker, Sear & Trigger 'block'?

Ruger MKII and Hawkeye safety blocks the trigger. It doesn't touch the firing pin unless the trigger block fails. Then the safety catches the firing pin, if the safety is in the full rear position

Ruger tang safety blocks the trigger.
