The invention relates to a safety and / or decocking control mechanism that is centrally positioned and partially embedded within the firearm frame. This arrangement allows the bolt assembly to pass over the mechanism when opened. The control mechanism is ergonomically mounted, ensuring accessibility for both left-handed and right-handed users. It facilitates four distinct positions when the bolt assembly is in the closed position and two positions when the bolt assembly is in the open position. Notably, the handcocking button has the capability to pivot back and open, causing the handcocking arm to first decompress the hammer springs and then obstruct the trigger. Upon closure of the bolt assembly, the control mechanism automatically redeploys. The open position of the handcocking button enables safe positioning or decocking of the firearm. Overall, this invention eliminates constraints on the bolt assembly passage during opening and closing, positioning the handcocking button within a highly ergonomic area.

A method for activating and monitoring a firearm system which tracks, monitors, and automatically prevents a firearm from firing when a user is not in a suitable state of mind or is not an authorized user. The firearm activation and monitoring system generally comprises a firearm having a trigger and grip area, a plurality of biometric sensors located on the grip area which measure biometric data of a user, a trigger interlock, and a main microcontroller. The trigger interlock prevents the trigger from firing the firearm when the trigger interlock is in its normal or default position. To unlock the trigger, the user holds the grip area to activate the biometric sensors, and if the user is in an acceptable mental state, the main microcontroller will send an electrical signal to the trigger interlock, which unlocks the trigger and allows the user to pull the trigger of the firearm.
