Assignee:

Pachmayr Gun Works, Inc. - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

F41C 2300

US Classification:

42 71P

Abstract:

A pistol grip preferably including a cushioning part having a rear portion extending across the back of a pistol handle and having side portions projecting forwardly from said rear portion at opposite sides of the handle, with the part desirably including a body of elastomeric material containing a reinforcing structure stiffer than the elastomeric material and of generally U-shaped horizontal sectional configuration. The cushioning part may be retained on the pistol handle by a fastener or fasteners extending forwardly through apertures in the back of the cushioning part and connectable to the pistol handle. The grip desirably includes a transversely extending cushioning strap preferably receivable in front of the pistol handle and formed at least in part of elastomeric material and having at least one and desirably two edge portions carrying lugs projecting inwardly toward the pistol handle into interfitting engagement with shoulders on the pistol handle to retain the lugs and attached edges of the strap against detaching movement relative to the handle. The transverse cushioning strap may be retained by reception of an edge portion thereof laterally between a side cushioning panel and the pistol handle, with that cushioning panel desirably being one of the side portions of a U-shaped cushioning part which extends across the back and along the opposite sides of the handle.

International Classification:

F41C 2502

US Classification:

42 50

Abstract:

A cushioning pad adapted to be connected to the lower end of a gun cartridge clip and including a body of elastomeric material to be engaged by a user's hand in pressing the clip upwardly into the handle of the gun, and a reinforcing plate embedded within the elastomeric material and through which screws extend upwardly for connection into the bottom wall of the clip body, with the screws having heads applying upward force to the reinforcing element in a manner securing the pad on the clip. If the clip is of a type having a horizontally slidably removable bottom wall, the pad may be secured to that wall and contain a passage through which a tool is insertable upwardly to a position for engaging and releasing a latch element normally holding the bottom wall against detaching movement.

International Classification:

F41C 2310

US Classification:

42 7102

Abstract:

A thin walled finger groove adapter for a handgun comprising a very thin ductile metal reinforcing plate encapsulated with thin front and back layers of elastomeric material. At least one finger groove projection is provided on the front surface of the adapter in registry with a hole through the reinforcing plate so that the projection is integral with both the front and back layers of encapsulating material. The finger groove adapter is substantially no greater than 0. 040 inches thick with the metal plate being no more than about 0. 015, and preferably about 0. 010, inches thick. It is well suited for handgun users who have small hands. The finger groove adapter is molded in a flat condition and may be trimmed in the flat configuration to a variety of final shapes so as to accommodate mounting to a variety of different handgun handles. The finger groove adapter is sold in the flat or only slightly bent configuration, and is deformed into the appropriate shape for mounting to the handgun by the user.
