A method of firing a semiautomatic firearm, the steps comprising:

• providing a semiautomatic firearm having a trigger;
• connecting a rapid fire pistol grip to the semiautomatic firearm, the rapid fire pistol grip having a housing that fits over an insert, the housing configured to cycle by sliding forward to back over the insert between a forward most position and a rearward most position;
• applying a forward bias on the firearm;
• applying a rearward bias on the housing;
• activating the trigger a first time by moving a user's trigger finger into an engagement position with the trigger;
• causing the housing to move forward with respect to the firearm in response to kickback from firing the first round;
• resetting the trigger when the housing moves forward with respect to the firearm;
• causing the housing to move rearward after the housing has reached the forward most position;
• automatically activating the trigger when the housing moves rearward on subsequent cycles until the user moves their trigger finger from the engagement position to a disengaged position.
