         2 ) The invention in accordance with  claim 1  wherein the right side of the hammer spring comprises more than three coils of wound wire. 
     
     
         3 ) The invention in accordance with  claim 1  wherein the right side of the hammer spring comprises more than three coils of wound wire. 
     
     
         4 ) The invention in accordance with  claim 1  wherein the right side of the hammer spring and the left side of the hammer spring each comprise more than three coils of wound wire. 
     
     
         5 ) The invention in accordance with  claim 4  wherein the hammer spring width is the sum of the width of the right side coil added to the width of left side coil and further added to the length of the non-wound section of the hammer spring resulting in an overall width no greater than the width of a hammer spring having three coils making up the right side of the hammer spring and three coils making up the left side of the hammer spring. 
     
     
         6 ) The invention in accordance with  claim 1  wherein the right side of the hammer spring and the left side of the hammer spring each comprise more than five coils of wound wire with at least one coil of wire on each side of the hammer spring vertically adjacent other coils of wire making up the hammer spring. 
     
     
         7 ) A hammer, having a hammer surface, the hammer for use in a trigger and hammer assembly for use in a weapon having hammer spring formed of a single length of bent and coiled wire, the hammer spring having a left and a right side separated by a non-wound section of the bent and coiled wire, the non-wound section of wire connecting the right side of the hammer spring to the left side of the hammer spring, the hammer spring comprising a spring having both the left and right sides of the hammer spring wound in layers, the hammer of the trigger and hammer assembly comprising:
 a hammer body having hammer end and a through bore end of the hammer body;   the hammer body having a first side surface;   the hammer body having a second side surface;   each hammer body surface extending from the hammer end of the body to the through bore end of the hammer body;   the first side surface and the second side surface of the hammer body each being a flat surface with each flat surface generally perpendicular to the hammer surface of the hammer.   
     
     
         8 ) The invention in accordance with  claim 7  wherein one side of the hammer spring is in contact with the one flat side surface of the hammer body and a second side of the hammer spring is in contact with the other flat side surface of the hammer body. 
     
     
         9 ) A trigger assembly for use in a weapon, the trigger assembly having a housing, a hammer, a trigger, and a hammer spring, the hammer of the trigger assembly comprising:
 the hammer pivotally carried on a hammer bearing supported in the housing; the hammer having a lobe comprising a firing notch, a safety notch, and a curved landing flat.   
     
     
         10 ) The invention in accordance with  claim 9  wherein the trigger comprises a sear, the sear capable of interfacing with the firing notch, safety notch, and the curved landing flat whereby the sear will travel smoothly along the curved landing flat of the hammer lobe. 
     
     
         11 ) A trigger assembly for use in a weapon, the trigger assembly comprising:
 a trigger of the trigger assembly having a trigger pivot recess;   a disconnector having a disconnector bore, the disconnector carried in the pivot recess of the trigger;   a disconnector pivot shaft passing through the trigger and through the disconnector bore to mount the disconnector for rotational movement in the trigger pivot access.   
     
     
         12 ) The invention in accordance with  claim 11  wherein the disconnector pivot shaft is a generally longitudinal bar element having a diameter closely fitted to match the pivot recess bore diameter of the trigger pivot recess and the diameter of the disconnector bore that houses the disconnector pivot shaft. 
     
     
         13 ) The invention in accordance with  claim 11  comprising:
 a spring positioned in the trigger pivot recess of the trigger, and the spring in contact with the disconnector.
