Abstract
Firearms, grips for firearms and methods of using the same are disclosed. An example grip includes an exterior grip defining an inner bore; a slider located within the bore for axial movement relative to the exterior grip, the slider having a projection to selectively detachably engage the at least one transverse slot of the rail; and a screw rotatably mounted within the exterior grip. The screw threadingly engages the slider to axially move the slider into and/or out of engagement with the rail, but the screw is substantially secured against axial movement relative to the exterior grip.
Claims19
In combination, a firearm having a longitudinal sectional rail with transverse slots;
- a grip structured to slip onto and detachably clamp to the rail, the grip including:
- an exterior grip defining an inner bore having a length;
- a slider penetrating at least a portion of the length of the bore, the slider having a projection to selectively detachably engage at least one of the transverse slots of the rail, the slider being axially movable relative to the exterior grip, but being substantially secured against rotation within the exterior grip;
- and
- at least one window defined in the exterior grip at a location to view engagement of the projection of the slider with the at least one slot of the rail.
For use with a firearm including a rail with at least one transverse slot, a grip comprising:
- an exterior grip defining an inner bore;
- a slider located within the bore for axially movement relative to the exterior grip, the slider having a projection to selectively detachably engage the at least one transverse slot of the rail;
- and
- at least one window defined in the exterior grip at a location to view engagement of the projection of the slider with the at least one slot of the rail.
A method for securing a grip to a rail associated with a firearm, the method comprising:
- sliding the grip along the rail to a desired location;
- rotating a screw that is located in the grip to thereby cause a slider that is located at the opposite end of the grip to move longitudinally relative to the grip and away from the screw and into engagement with the rail, wherein rotating the screw does not move the screw longitudinally relative to the grip.
