Abstract
This disclosure describes a system, and apparatus for securely mounting a firearm, while maintaining to ability to load, unload, and draw the firearm from the mount with a single hand. This is accomplished using a mount that is customized to conform to a specific model of firearm, ensuring a snug fit of the firearm within the mount. Magnetic retention secures the firearm in place in the mount. Modern, magazine fed handguns can be loaded and unloaded simply by moving the slide. Cycling the slide causes it to extract a round from the chamber (if a round is present) when the slide traverses rearward relative to the receiver. A new round is loaded from the magazine when the slide traverses forward relative to the receiver (if a loaded magazine is inserted).
Claims9
A firearm mount comprising:
- a block defining a recess within the block, the recess configured to receive a slide portion of a firearm, the recess being opposite of a mounting surface of the block, the mounting surface configured to be affixed to an external surface, wherein the recess is defined by a first sidewall, and a second sidewall;
- a slot, defined by the block, at a distal end of the block, the slot sized to receive a barrel of the firearm while retaining the slide portion of the firearm when the firearm translates towards the slot;
- and
- an ejection window, defined by a truncation in the first sidewall, wherein the first sidewall is shorter than the second sidewall, the ejection window on a side of the block, sized such that a chambered round is ejected through the ejection window when the firearm translates toward the distal end of the block.
A method for cycling a firearm comprising:
- placing the firearm in a mount comprising:
- a block defining a recess within the block, the recess configured to receive a slide portion of the firearm, the recess being opposite of a mounting surface of the block, the mounting surface configured to be affixed to an external surface, wherein the recess is defined by a first sidewall, and a second sidewall;
- a slot, defined by the block, at a distal end of the block, the slot sized to receive a barrel of the firearm while retaining the slide portion of the firearm when the firearm translates towards the slot;
- and
- an ejection window, defined by a truncation in the first sidewall, wherein the first sidewall is shorter than the second sidewall, the election window on a side of the block, sized such that a chambered round is ejected through the election window when the firearm translates toward the distal end of the block;
- translating the firearm toward the distal end of the block, wherein the slide portion is retained by the mount, and the barrel of the firearm passes into the slot;
- and
- allowing the firearm to return to battery in the mount.
