Grip and stock assembly for facilitating use of a compact gun

A gun comprising:

• an elongated receiver having a forward end, a rearward end and an undersurface;
• a pistol grip emanating outwardly from said undersurface away from said receiver;
• and
• stock means including a stock terminating in a butt pivotally mounted to a portion of said receiver behind said pistol grip, said stock means operative between three positions, a first position where said stock means is in close proximity to said pistol grip, a second position where said stock means is placed into a positin suitable for shoulder firing, and a third position where said stock means is placed into a position where the butt of the stock presses up against the armpit of the user, said stock means in said first position being adapted to stabilize said gun while firing by pressing up against the forearm of the hand of the user holding said pistol grip.

An apparatus for use with a gun having an elongated receiver including a forward end, a rearward end and an undersurface, said apparatus comprising:

• a pistol grip emanating outwardly from said undersurface away from said receiver, the longitudinal axis of said pistol grip being substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said receiver, the longitudinal axis of said pistol grip intersecting the approximate midpoint of said longitudinal axis of said receiver;
• bracket means secured to the distal end of said pistol grip and a portion of said receiver behind said pistol grip for pressing up against the forearm of a user during firing of the gun;
• trigger-protecting means emanating downwardly from said receiver ahead of said pistol grip;
• a handgrip forming part of said trigger-protecting means and being secured to the undersurface of said receiver ahead of said pistol grip, said handgrip performing the simultaneous functions of defining a portion of a trigger guard and providing a grip for holding the gun during firing;
• and
• stock means including a stock terminating in a butt pivotally mounted to a portion of said receiver behind said pistol grip, said stock means operative between three positions, a first position where said stock means mates with said bracket means, a second position where said stock means is placed into a position suitable for shoulder firing and a third position where said stock means is placed into a position where the butt of the stock presses up against the armpit of the user.

A gun comprising:

• a receiver having an undersurface;
• a pistol grip emanating outwardly from said undersurface away from said receiver;
• bracket means secured to the distal end of said pistol grip and the undersurface of the rearward end of said receiver for pressing up against the forearm of a user during firing of the gun;
• trigger-protecting means emanating from the undersurface of the front end of said receiver ahead of said pistol grip;
• a handgrip forming part of said trigger-protecting means and being secured to the undersurface of the front end of said receiver, said handgrip performing the simultaneous function of defining a portion of a trigger guard and providing a grip for holding the gun during firing;
• stock means includng a stock terminating in a butt pivotally mounted to the rearward end of said receiver, said stock means operative between three positions, a first position where said stock means mates with said bracket means, a second position where said stock means is placed into a position suitable for shoulder firing and a third position where said stock means is placed into a position where the butt of the stock presses up against the armpit of the user.

A gun comprising:

• an elongated receiver having a forward end, a rearward end and an undersurface;
• a pistol grip emanating outwardly from said undersurface away from said receiver;
• and
• a stock including a generally L-shaped member with one leg defining a butt, an elongated member cooperative in a telescoping relationship with the other leg of said L-shaped member, and pivot means for pivotally connecting the distal end of said elongated member to the rearward end of said elongated receiver, said stock means operative between at least two positions, a first position where said butt is in close proximity to said pistol grip with said telescoping members being fully contracted and a second position where said butt is pivoted into a position suitable for shoulder firing.

A gun comprising:

• an elongated receiver having a forward end, a rearward end and an undersurface;
• a pistol grip emanating outwardly from said undersurface a predetermined distance away from the rearward end of said receiver;
• and
• stabilizing means including a generally L-shaped bracket having two legs, the distal ends of said legs being secured respectively to the distal end of said pistol grip and the distal end of the receiver behind said pistol grip, said stabilizing means being confined within the area defined between said undersurface of said receiver and the bottom of said pistol grip and between said rearward end of said receiver and the back of said pistol grip, and said stabilizing means including a forearm receiving portion for stabilizing said gun by pressing up against the forearm of the hand holding said pistol grip.
