The improved handgun assembly of the present invention includes a handgun with barrel and a butt having a handgrip, and a novel handgun brace resting against but otherwise unconnected to the handgun. The brace is in the form of a unitary rod having an upraised front portion, an intermediate portion connected thereto and sloping downwardly and rearwardly therefrom, and a rear portion connected to the intermediate portion and extending downwardly and rearwardly therefrom. The front portion bears an upraised, preferably detachable fork which holds the gun barrel. The fork may be stepped to accommodate gun barrels of various diameters. The intermediate portion includes a palm rest and a gun butt holder. The palm rest and holder may be in form of a single tube with an elongated recess into which the butt fits. There may be an elongated bottom slot in the tube up thru which a slideable stop pin fits to brace the back of the gun butt. The rear portion of the rod includes a forked arm or wrist grip, to which may be releasably connected a rear extension bearing a forked forearm- or upper arm- brace. The assembly is light weight, compact and effective to steady a shooter's aim, principally for hunting purposes.
