Abstract
An apparatus for preventing the dropping of a handgun during use thereof is shown in conjunction with a special glove that has metal parts attracted to magnetic grips attached to a hand gun, an electromagnetic version of the magnetic grip device, several embodiments of a strap attached to a grip on one side of a gun handle, a spring steel strap for attachment to a hand gun handle that will stay straight when moved to the straight position and coils around a person's wrist when moved from the straight position and lastly and O-ring device attached to a special glove to automatically attach to a tapered tail on a hand gun.

An apparatus for preventing a user from dropping a hand gun, the gun having a handle, the apparatus comprising:
- a grip attached to one side of the handle of the gun (11), the grip having two holes therein for receiving threaded fasteners (504) there through;
- and
- the threaded fasteners extending through ends of a flexible loop (501) operatively attached to the grip, the flexible loop (501/601) being of a size to tightly hold a human hand gripping the handle of the gun.
An apparatus for preventing a user from dropping a hand gun, the gun having a handle, the apparatus comprising:
- a strap (702), one end of which is operatively attached to a bottom portion of the handle of the hand gun, the other end being a free end;
- the strap comprising a spring steel metal strip (701) having a length and a width, the metal strip being formed in an arc about the width, the metal strip further being biased to a position wherein it is wound tightly upon itself;
- the strap having a first position in which it will stay straight if moved to the straight position and a second coiled position to which the strap will automatically move if the strap is moved from the straight position thereof.
An apparatus for preventing a user from dropping a hand gun, the gun having a rearwardly extending tapered tail at the top rear portion of the handle, the apparatus comprising:
- a glove (800);
- an elastomeric O-ring operatively attached to the glove between a thumb portion and an index finger portion of the glove;
- the O-ring being disposed around an axis which is generally between the index finger portion and the thumb portion of the glove when the glove would be lying palm down on a flat surface when not on a person's hand;
- the O-ring being further larger than the smaller end of the tail of a typical tail of a hand gun and smaller than the large end of the typical tail of a hand gun, whereby when a user with the glove on grasps the handle to use the hand gun, the O-ring will automatically go sequentially over the small end of the tail until the O-ring extends over a portion of the tail which is larger than the O-ring, thereby securing the O-ring by friction onto the tail.
