Abstract: A rapid fire attachment for semiautomatic firearms is presented that includes an insert that is rigidly attached to a firearm adjacent the trigger and a housing that covers the insert. The housing and insert include a plurality of rails and grooves that engage one another and allow for sliding forward-to-back movement of the housing with respect to the insert and the other portions of the firearm. The housing also includes a trigger finger support that selectively covers and uncovers the trigger of the firearm. The rapid fire attachment allows for rapid firing of the firearm by allowing the housing to reciprocate between a rearward position that covers the trigger and a forward position that uncovers the trigger. When the trigger is uncovered the shooter's finger engages the trigger thereby firing the firearm whereas when the trigger is covered the trigger is allowed to reset thereby allowing the firearm to be fired again in rapid succession.
