  • Patent number: 11029129
    Abstract: In one aspect, a gun sight may include a main body and a light tube. In one embodiment, the main body may include an elongated light tunnel housing and a base, wherein the light tunnel housing is formed on top of the base, and a light tunnel is formed inside the light tunnel housing. The light tunnel has a front end and a rear end, and the light tube is disposed at the rear end. In one embodiment, the light tube can be a fluorescent optical fiber that can be used as a light source for the shooter's eye even when the environment is relatively dark. In other embodiments, the light tube can be an integration of optical fiber and tritium. The light tunnel is tapered from the front end to the rear end to enhances the effect of light concentration in the light tunnel.

  • Publication number: 20210156634
    Abstract: Present invention discloses a rifle charging handle where one or two polymer pieces are made to fit over a T distal end of a main rigid body. A small protrusion on a hook shape latch, with limited elasticity, provides the locking mechanism to the upper receiver. The polymer pieces are secured by screws or other means; they provide a cost-effective option for ambidexterity variation and reduce metal wear on the upper receiver. The polymer pieces can also be secured to the main rigid body via a click-tab/click-hole mechanism. Other composite materials can be used to make the polymer pieces as long as they provide substantially similar rigidness and limited elasticity.

  • Publication number: 20210071977
    Abstract: A modular trigger control unit Is configured to be removably installed on a grip frame of a firearm and includes a locking block and a locking block pin. The trigger control unit has a protruding tab protruding rearward. The locking block includes slide rails extending forward, with each slide rail of the pair of slide rails having a flat wall extending downward with respect to the grip frame when the trigger control unit is installed on the grip frame. The trigger control unit is secured to the grip frame by: (1) the protruding tab received in a recess on an interior wall of a beavertail portion of the grip frame; and (2) the locking block pin traversing through a through hole on each flat wall such that removal of the trigger control unit from the grip frame requires removal of the locking block pin.

  • Patent number: 10837727
    Abstract: Various examples of a modular trigger control unit for firearms are described. The trigger control unit can be removably installed on a grip frame and installed between the grip frame and a slide assembly of a semi-automatic firearm. The trigger control unit includes at least a trigger pin and a trigger pivotable around the trigger pin when pulled. In response to the trigger being pulled by a user when the trigger control unit is installed between the grip frame and the slide assembly, a firing pin lug of a striker-firing mechanism in the slide assembly is released thereby allowing a striker of the striker-firing mechanism to move forward with respect to the slide assembly. Moreover, the trigger control unit is secured to the grip frame at least by the trigger pin such that removal of the trigger control unit from the grip frame requires removal of the trigger pin.
