A weapon grip includes a grip body and a cross-sectionally generally U-shaped grip shell, each having opposite side walls and a rear wall interconnecting the side walls. The grip shell which is a one-piece component, is readily removably and replaceably inserted on the grip body in an installed position such that the walls of the grip body face the respective walls of the grip shell. The grip body and the shell body carry respective first and second abutment faces extending parallel to the length dimension of the grip body. The first and second abutment faces are in contact with one another in the installed position. First and second guides are formed on the grip body and the grip shell, respectively, and are disposed relative to one another and relative to the first and second abutment faces such that during motion of insertion of the grip shell on the grip body parallel to the length dimension, the first and second guides are in sliding engagement with one another and, by camming action, shift the grip shell relative to the grip body in a direction transverse to the length dimension for causing the first abutment face to arrive into contact with the second abutment face upon conclusion of the motion of insertion.
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims the priority of German Application No. 197 11 730.9 filed Mar. 20, 1997, which is incorporated herein by reference.
A synthetic grip for a handgun (specifically a revolver) that does not require any separate attaching components. The grip is attached to the handle frame by engaging the existing frame stock pin with the grip's own spring tension resiliency. The grip has a U-shaped molded assembly having a front wall portion and two side wall portions extending rearwardly from the outer edges of the front wall portion for engaging the side walls of the handle frame. Each side wall portion has a groove in its inner surface extending substantially from its top end to its bottom end thereby forming a track for receiving the opposite ends of the stock pin extending outwardly from the side walls of the handle frame. Adjacent the bottom end of each of the grooves is a recess that captures the ends of the stock pin. The grip is preferably made from a hard plastic U-shaped core member that has been overmolded with a resilient layer of plastic material.
A firearm handgun grip portion invention that includes the handgun grip portion of a handgun frame with a forward grip portion and a rear grip portion with the rear grip portion having connecting means for removably connecting a plurality of removable and replaceable grip portions to the rear grip portion of the handgun frame. The removable and replaceable grip portions are connected to and removed from the handgun grip portion of a handgun frame through a sliding motion with a projecting rib portion on the handgun grip portion sliding into and out of slots located in the removable and replaceable grip portions. Portions of the removable and replaceable grip portions are retained in a well to prevent them from spreading under pressure. The removable and replaceable grip portions have different configurations including grip portions with different sizes and different shapes, including the shape of another type of handgun such as the well known Model 1911 pistol.
A handgun including a one-piece frame assembly including a slide interface portion, a grip portion and a trigger guard, wherein the frame assembly includes at least two portions that have different hardnesses, and a firing assembly that includes a slide supported for reciprocal longitudinal sliding movement on the slide interface portion.
A target grip for a firearm comprising insertable and removable trigger finger support inserts for a side panel of the grip for enabling the distal portion of a user's trigger finger to contact a trigger perpendicular to the trigger for more shooting accuracy and consistency. Various size trigger finger target grip extender inserts may be inserted into the firearm grip and removed until the proper size insert is found. The target grip extender insert is secured by a friction fit or by a clip on the end of the insert.
A pistol with interchangeable grip comprising a frame (12) adapted to receive an interchangeable grip (13), in which engagement means for the locking and release of the grip are arranged coupled to the frame (12) and to the grip (13) and comprise a pin or peg (20), moveable within a seat (21) of the frame (12) from a first position of engagement in a seat (23) formed on an inner surface of a side wall (13A) of the grip (13) to a second position disengaged from this.
