• the present invention relates to a semi-automatic type single action firearm such as a pistol, provided with a rapid safety device.
• the present invention also relates to the safety device to be mounted on the firearm, which is presented in the form of a "kit”.
• the present invention also relates to a right / left-handed charger stopper.
• Firearm safety devices are already known to prevent the involuntary percussion of the gun dog. These safety devices are of two types.
• the dog can be locked in the rear position, which nevertheless exposes him in the event of a fall.
• This system therefore has the disadvantage of causing damage to the mechanisms at the level of the dog and the trigger or the untimely departure of a bullet during a fall of the weapon.
• the firearm can also be of the double action type.
• the safety position of the dog is the front position.
• the first part of the trigger stroke drives the dog backwards and the second part of the stroke allows the dog to be pulled freeing the dog forward towards the striker.
• the run is longer, and therefore, the shooting time is all the more important.
• the force to be applied on the trigger is particularly important.
• a firearm of this type is described in document EP-A1-0550238.
• documents US-A-5166458 and EP-A2 -0801285 describe devices for protection which reduce the effort to be applied to the trigger to arm the firearm.
• the dog contains a spring plunger which engages, without locking, on the cams of the dog ring.

• the present invention aims more particularly to propose a safety device intended essentially for use on single action weapons, thus making it possible to obtain a precise shot which does not require a change of position of the trigger between the first shot and the subsequent shots while maintaining the protective qualities of double action weapons.
• An additional aim of the present invention is to provide such a safety device which, mounted on the firearm, also makes it possible to reduce the risk of damage to the dog and / or the trigger in the event of a fall.
• Another object of the present invention is to propose a device which, by a single movement, makes it possible to lock the firing of the weapon, and which likewise, by a single movement, makes it possible to release the locking, this without pressing trigger, to have the firearm in a ready-to-fire configuration.
• Another object of the present invention is to provide a security device in the form of a kit, which relatively easily adapts to a particular type of weapon while keeping the initial structure of a firearm already in service, without having to resort to additional machining of the weapon concerned or of the parts constituting it for the mounting the kit.

• a firing system by interposed dog such as a pistol or possibly a revolver which, through '' a trigger actuated by the trigger, distributes the cartridge either in a slide in the case of a pistol, or in a barrel in the case of a revolver having means for blocking the hammer when the latter is disposed in the front position thus causing the firearm to be locked.
• These blocking means comprise at least one cocking lever which undergoes an automatic latching when the dog is placed in the front position.
• this latching of the cocking lever also makes it possible to lock the slide, which can no longer move back, and possibly to block the trigger and / or the trigger.
• the blocking means also serve to suppress the safety of the firearm by causing the dog to return to the armed position and by unlocking if necessary the slide, the trigger and / or the trigger.
• Another object of the present invention also relates to a semi-firearm automatic single action with a firing system by interposed dog such as a pistol or possibly a revolver which, via a trigger actuated by the trigger, distributes the cartridge either in a slide in the case of a pistol, either in a barrel in the case of a revolver having means other than the trigger for unlocking or unlocking the dog disposed in the front position, the slide, the trigger and / or the trigger.
• a semi-firearm automatic single action with a firing system by interposed dog such as a pistol or possibly a revolver which, via a trigger actuated by the trigger, distributes the cartridge either in a slide in the case of a pistol, either in a barrel in the case of a revolver having means other than the trigger for unlocking or unlocking the dog disposed in the front position, the slide, the trigger and / or the trigger.
• a third object of the present invention relates to a safety device presented in the form of a kit intended for a semi-automatic type firearm having a firing system by interposed dog such as a pistol or possibly a revolver, which could be originally mounted on the firearm or which fits on the firearm already in service, characterized in that it comprises a dog striking the striker of the weapon during firing, a dog ring cooperating with the dog, a trigger actuated by the trigger of the weapon and which, when fired, makes it possible to release the dog ring, a dog tail comprising the spring of the dog which is compressed to arm the dog and which, when fired, pushes the dog ring to strike the dog against the striker, an arming lever possibly left and / or right which is actuated manually to release the active safety devices by unlocking the trigger, the dog and sliding ière, a return spring to return the dog back to the armed position ready to fire in single action and possibly a fast shooting lever which cooperates with the cocking lever, the dog and the dog ring.
• the safety device also comprises a cocking lever spring which is preferably fixes on the cocking lever either right or left, a dog spring which hooks by means of a pin to the tail of the dog as well as a pin fixed on the cocking lever and a spring trigger.
• a final object of the present invention relates to a right / left-handed magazine stopper intended for a semi-automatic type firearm having a magazine stopper with horizontal displacement moving on either side of the weapon comprising a button located at the central level of the left grip to release the magazine by pushing said button preferably from the left to the right and a small lever located at the center of the right grip to release the charger by pushing said lever preferably top to bottom.
