Sûreté retrouvée sur la plupart des armes à feu à chien extérieur, dans lesquelles le chien est ramené à la moitié de sa course et est bloqué dans cette position par la gâchette pour empêcher l'action normale de la détente ou le tir de la cartouche en cas de choc accidentel. Il agit aussi comme sécurité en interceptant le chien et en empêchant le tir si le pouce laisse échapper le chien durant l'armement manuel.  2, record 2, French, - demi%2Darm%C3%A9
