Gun attachment method and apparatus

A handgun attachment adapted to be fitted to a handgun having a subframe having a forward lower portion, a slide, a trigger guard, muzzle and a laterally extended member, the handgun attachment adapted to transmit external force that directed toward a muzzle region of the gun to the subframe, the handgun attachment comprising:

• a) a base member having a forward section and a rearward section, a mounting region located in the rearward section where a locking system is positioned and comprises an extension member adapted to extend longitudinally rearwardly and engage the trigger guard of the handgun to forcefully apply pressure thereto, the mounting region of the base member further comprising a receiving portion adapted to engage the laterally extending member of the handgun, the base member having a longitudinally forward region with a lower surface and first and second lateral surfaces defining a chamber region that is adapted to engage the subframe of the handgun, the base member further comprising a reinforcement region rigidly formed to the base member and positioned in the forward section and extending in front of the muzzle of the handgun,
• b) whereas the extension member is positioned vertically below the point of engagement of the receiving portion whereby the extension member is adapted to apply a force to the trigger guard of the handgun creating a torque substantially about a lateral axis and forcefully engaging the lower surface to the forward lower portion of the subframe of the handgun, and further the reinforcement region is adapted to transmit the external force exerted upon the reinforcement region to the subframe and not to the slide of the handgun whereby maintaining the slide in battery.
