Abstract: A grip assembly for a gun having a downwardly projecting handle, which assembly includes two body panels to be received at opposite sides of the handle, and a grip unit having two side panels at outer sides of the body panels and a forward portion connecting the grip panels in front of the handle. The grip panels are preferably connected to the body panels by two screws and nuts. A third screw extends through an opening in one of the body panels, to hold it in place, and is desirably at a location to be covered by the corresponding grip panel. The third screw may be engageable with a third nut which is carried by the other body panel and is at a location to be covered by the other grip panel.

Abstract: A gun sight assembly including a body to be held against a surface of a gun, a sight carried by the body, an anchoring part received within a dovetail groove in the gun, and a threaded fastener extending through an opening in the body and threadedly connected to the anchoring part and operable to pull the anchoring part toward the body in a manner tightening the anchoring part against converging side walls of the dovetail groove and tightening the body against the surface of the gun.

Abstract: A gun grip assembly including two body panels to be received at the opposite sides of a gun handle, and two outer grip panels to be received at the outer sides of the two body panels respectively and preferably forming side portions of a grip unit having a connecting portion extending between and interconnecting the two side portions. The side portions of the grip unit are attached to the two body panels respectively, and the body panels contain openings at locations offset from/the side portions of the grip unit to receive threaded fasteners which extend through the body panels but not through the side portions of the grip unit and which tighten the body panels against the opposite sides of the handle.

Abstract: A grip assembly for a hand gun, including two body panels which are received at opposite sides of a handle of the gun, and which may be formed either separately or integrally as a unitary body, with at least one grip element being mountable in fixed position relative to the body panels and relative to the handle. Preferably, the assembly includes both a forward grip unit and a back strap formed at least in part of deformable elastomeric material for cushioning contact of the grip assembly with the user's hand. The forward grip unit may have two side portions to be received at outer sides of the two body panels, with a forward strap extending between and interconnecting the side portions at the front of the handle. The body panels may be connected to the handle by extension of a pin through those panels and through an opening in the handle. The same pin may also extend through an opening in the back strap to secure the body panels, the forward grip unit, and the back strap in fixed relative positions.

Abstract: A recoil pad for a shoulder gun such as a rifle or shotgun, including a body of elastomeric cushioning material to be received between the buttstock of the gun and a user'shoulder, and an insert member formed of a material harder than the elastomeric material and embedded within a recess in the back of the elastomeric body near its upper end. The pad may also include an attachment plate secured to the front of the elastomeric body. The insert member has a rear surface which engages the user's clothing at a location above an aligned rear surface of the elastomeric body, to reduce the friction at the location of the insert and facilitate sliding of the recoil pad upwardly adjacent the clothing to firing position. The elastomeric body has a portion extending upwardly in front of the harder insert to be received between that insert and the buttstock of the gun and cushion the transmission of recoil forces from the gun to the insert.

Abstract: A holster having a body molded of an elastomeric material, with that body being doubled back along a fold region essentially midway between two opposite edges of the molded body, and with those edges then being secured together by rivets or the like to define a gun receiving recess between front and rear panels of the holster. The rear panel contains a passage through which a belt extends for supporting the device from the belt. The two connected edges of the elastomeric body preferably have flanges projecting toward one another and connectable together, and which interfit to locate the flanges relative to one another. A gun may be retained in the holster by two flaps projecting upwardly from the front and rear panels and connectable together. The rear flap is preferably thicker and stiffer than the front flap, and desirably each of the flaps is slightly thicker and stiffer than the panel from which it projects upwardly.

Abstract: A pistol grip formed of two complementary grip sections to be received at opposite sides of a handle projection of a gun, and be retained on the handle projection by a fastener extending between the sections. The sections have tubular internal portions extending toward one another and through which the fastener extends, and which are engageable at their inner ends with one another to prevent damage to the sections by over-tightening of the fastener. Each section has two wedging surfaces within its interior adapted to engage two coacting surfaces of the handle projection of the gun, with the wedging surfaces of each grip section being disposed at a slight angle with respect to one another for engagement with the handle projection in a manner rigidly retaining the grip sections in fixed positions relative to the handle projection.
