  • Patent number: 10520270
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of manufacturing are disclosed with regard to a rapid-fire accessory for a semi-automatic firearm. The rapid-fire accessory may include a trigger guard mount, a trigger actuator, and a trigger guard adapter. The trigger guard mount may include a mounting channel for receiving a trigger guard. The trigger actuator may be fixed relative to the mounting channel and configured to pull the trigger when the trigger guard slides forward in the mounting channel. The trigger guard adapter may be configured to mount on and remain fixed relative to the trigger guard. The trigger guard adapter may include an adapter channel for receiving the trigger guard. When the trigger guard adapter is mounted on the trigger guard and in the mounting channel, the trigger guard adapter guides a sliding movement of the trigger guard mount forward and rearward relative to the trigger guard adapter and the trigger guard.

  • Patent number: 10209020
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of manufacturing are disclosed with regard to a rapid-fire accessory that mounts onto a semi-automatic firearm using structural features thereof and/or added thereon to guide a trigger actuator for engaging a trigger and repeatedly firing the semi-automatic firearm. The rapid-fire accessory does not require the removal or replacement of the original, replacement, or aftermarket firearm grip or most other components of the firearm. The rapid-fire accessory provides a structural component an operator may hold that facilitates bump firing the semi-automatic firearm. Once mounted on the semi-automatic firearm, the rapid-fire accessory may slide rearward and forward, using a bottom rail on or below a forend of the semi-automatic firearm as a guiding surface and securing element.
