  • Patent number: 5857279
    Abstract: An ergonomically deformable grip for special use in firearms is provided. The grip is made of elastomeric material so as to obtain a basic contour at the front of the grip through a series of projections formed from the elastic material. The projections can be similar to thin ribs separated among themselves by narrow empty spaces, over which the fingers of the user's hands, by pressure, support themselves. Such projections can also define the basic profile at the back of the grip, as well as its sides. The height, dimensions and shapes of these projections can be varied. In addition, these projections can be individual without forming elongated ribs.
