Abstract: A pistol steady rest which also may double as a walking staff wherein a slender, rigid, telescopically-adjustable support rod is provided with a knurled hand grip adjacent its upper end and mounted in said upper end is a replaceable hard nylon pistol barrel support member comprising a cylindrical deformable plastic plug having its lower end screwably attached to said rod and having a recessed groove in its upper surface to snugly receive and support a pistol barrel. Grasping the knurled hand grip allows the shooter to steady the wrist of the hand grasping the hand grip while the other hand deploys the pistol barrel in the recessed groove and braces atop the wrist of the first hand to provide a rigid pistol firing position.
