Abstract: An adjustable belt mount includes a belt mount body and a generally L-shaped belt sizing insert. The belt mount body defines a belt aperture adapted to receive a belt therethrough, and first and second belt sizing slots being spaced and extending parallel to each other and communicating with the belt aperture. The belt mount body also includes a forward extension adapted to releasably connect an accessory thereto. The belt aperture is adapted to receive belts of various widths therethrough. The belt sizing insert is arranged in the belt aperture, and includes a planar portion carrying a retaining body extending from a first side thereof and releasably received by either of the first and second belt sizing slots, to accommodate belts of differing widths, and a delimiting portion extending generally perpendicular from a second side thereof. The delimiting portion can thereby form varying predetermined width passageways within the belt aperture.

Abstract: Handgun locking apparatus for securing a handgun in a holster includes a lever member including a body having a forward and rear end portion mounted to the holster and a spring element projecting forwardly and outwardly from the front end portion of the body for contacting an interior surface of a holster for biasing the body against a handgun.

Abstract: A magazine doubler includes a resilient body with two cavities each having upstanding ribs to carry magazines therein at different heights. A bracket and spaced screws are mounted medially between the front and back of the body to squeeze the body to generally conform it to carried magazines therein. A blocking element is used to replace the top round in one magazine to prevent the upper round from being dislodged during use of the doubler. Such element is tethered and biased by a rubber band looping around one of the screw shanks.

Abstract: Making a spear gun shaft includes selecting a solid steel drill rod of desired length; wrapping the rod with thermo-setting polymer impregnated carbon fiber sheet; covering rod with compression wrapper; curing the resin coated rod in an oven; removing the covering; machining the cured resin to the desired diameter with ends exposing drill rod; affixing a spear tip-carrying member to an end of the rod; affixing a trigger-engaging member to opposite end of the rod; affixing collars over the joints formed between rod and members to reinforce the shaft at the respective joints; mounting a sliding collar onto rod; and affixing the collars with metal adhesive to waterproof and seal the respective joints covered by the collars.

Abstract: A seat belt receiver attachment includes an elongate connection member removably mountable closely adjacent a seat belt receiver and a planar flexible shield member having an inside surface locatable adjacent a holster worn by a user with the outside surface being adjacent a seat belt receiver. The shield member and connection member include spaced side edge portions and a plurality of pairs of spaced mounting holes and may include a pair of spaced ears having mounting holes therethrough. Elongate straps are threadable through the mounting holes to secure the members together. A releasable fastener attaches the members together for assembly positioning.

Abstract: A firearm safety system includes a magazine block having a pair of opposed parallel shoulders slidably inserting beneath a pair of respective lips at an upper portion of a magazine and positionable in a loading chamber of a firearm to trap the charging handle to make it inoperable. Once the magazine block is positioned within the loading chamber, the firearm cannot operate because the magazine block inhibits ammo rounds from entering the loading chamber and prevents a spring-loaded bolt and firing pin from moving forward for propelling ammo rounds. The firearm safety system may operate in a stealthy mode by attaching the magazine block to a cover plate including a pair of resilient elements for locking to a female receptor notch of the magazine block thereby rendering the magazine block, loading chamber, ejection port and a portion of at least one loaded spare magazine hidden.

Abstract: An improved handcuff is constructed of a handcuff assembly that includes a pair of spaced lock assemblies each carrying a clasp for securing the lock assemblies together. A handle cover assembly is mounted about the connector and the lock assemblies to provide a rigid non-movable connection between the lock assemblies. The cover includes a pair of plate members mounted to the connector and lock assemblies to sandwich the connector and lock assemblies therebetween. The cover also includes a pair of oppositely disposed elongate rigid channel members each having a body including an outer surface and an interior space for enclosing the pair of plate members therein. Securing attachments are included for securing the members together. Each channel member includes a pair of walls connected along one elongate edge and open along another elongate edge to define the interior space therein.

Abstract: A holster includes a quick release withdrawal restraint and is constructed of an inner and outer sidewall joined together along a front and back to define an inner cavity with an open top shaped to fit a handgun. The quick restraint includes a mechanical blocking element located in the inner cavity to engage a portion of the handgun adjacent the ejection port to inhibit withdrawal upwardly prior to rearward movement of the handgun. A second mechanical blocking element is also provided adjacent the rear of the trigger guard that is biased into a first position to prevent rearward movement of the gun and a second position that allows for rearward movement of a gun when the second blocking element is moved by pressure on a thumb or finger ledge. A third mechanical blocking element is provided to prevent motion of a handgun when holstered in a manner to cause movement of the second blocking element from the first position.

Abstract: This invention relates to a back piece or a support plate for positioning a handgun holster in a substantially fixed position on a waist belt, the back piece being a molded, stiff, inflexible single thickness of leather-like material adapted to hold a holstered pistol close to the leg of the wearer with the handgun grip canted slightly outwardly for easy withdrawal and having two elongate belt slots. This invention is especially suitable for waist belts and carriers attachable to a waist belt by means of fabric hook-and-loop fasteners. A belt adapter plate is included to provide for use of the support plate with belts of smaller width and/or thickness. The support plate is constructed in a manner to deflect the lower portion of a belt outwardly so that when the belt is tensioned the lower portion of the support plate is pulled inwardly toward the leg of a wearer. The slots are formed in a manner to firmly bind against a belt when it is tensioned to fix the support plate in a desired position.
