AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing trigger reset mechanisms in striker-fired handguns, such as the Taurus® TX22®, require custom fitting and suffer from friction and binding issues, leading to inconsistent and slow reset speeds due to dependence on user trigger release.
Method used
A replacement disconnector mechanism that includes a lower engagement with the trigger bar and an upper engagement surface to contact the slide during cycling, providing a mechanical forward push for consistent and rapid trigger reset without custom fitting.
Benefits of technology
Enables rapid semi-automatic firing by ensuring a consistent mechanical reset, allowing each shot to be fired with a single discrete trigger function, independent of user trigger release timing.

Abstract
A pistol comprising of a frame, a slide operable to reciprocate with respect to the frame along a reciprocation axis between a forward battery position and a rear recoil position, a trigger connected to the frame and operable to move between a forward rest position and a rear firing position, a link element pivotally connected to the frame, and the link element operably responsive to movement of the slide form the battery position to the recoil position to move the trigger from the firing position to the rest position.
