Abstract (en)

In order to prevent thermal effects, stresses and other operating conditions from affecting the operation of the laser (15), the tubular member (25) holding the laser (15) is mounted on the firearm (12) at a first location (27) and is there provided with linear freedom of movement relative to the firearm (12), and is further mounted on the firearm (12) at a second location (28), where it provides the tubular member (25) with angular freedom of movement relative to the firearm (12). For actuating the laser (15) with certainty before the firing pin, either, a lost-motion connection between trigger (91) and hammer (87) is provided, in the course of which the switch (83) for energizing the laser (15) is being closed, or, the switch (83) is being closed by manvally cocking the hammer (87), the latter being released from that position by actuating the trigger (91).
