A hammer and a sear for a fire control system includes a safety notch and a spaced apart triggering surface on the hammer and a firing contact surface and a safety contact surface on the sear. The firing contact surface of the sear is precluded from contacting the safety notch of the hammer in both a safety position of the hammer and the sear and a firing position of the hammer and the sear. Further, a normal to the firing contact surface extends through a pivot pin that provides rotation of the sear.
