Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a firearm which may include a frame with a first outer wall, and a second outer wall opposite the first outer wall. A laser module may be disposed between the first and second outer walls. An alignment pin may be in communication with the first outer wall and may be configured to move the laser module relative to the frame.
Claims26
A firearm, comprising:
- a frame having a first outer wall, and a second outer wall opposite the first outer wall, the first and second outer walls comprising respective exterior surfaces of the firearm;
- a laser module disposed between the first and second outer walls;
- a first alignment pin in communication with the first outer wall,
- wherein the first alignment pin is configured to move the laser module relative to the frame;
- a resilient coupling having an internal seat engaging the laser module and an external seat forming an adhesive-free interference fit with the frame;
- and
- a cover removably connectable to the frame, the cover forming an adhesive-free interference fit with the external seat.

A firearm comprising:
- a barrel having a longitudinal firing axis;
- a frame comprising an exterior surface of the firearm and forming a substantially hollow chamber beneath the barrel;
- a laser module disposed within the chamber and moveable relative to the frame, the laser module configured to selectively emit a beam of radiation exiting the frame along a beam path;
- a first alignment pin moveably connected to the frame and contacting the laser module,
- a resilient coupling having an internal seat engaging the laser module and an external seat forming an adhesive-free interference fit with the frame;
- and
- a cover removably connectable to the frame, the cover forming an adhesive-free interference fit with the external seat;
- wherein movement of the first alignment pin results in movement of the laser module relative to the frame.

A method of moving a laser module disposed within a frame of a firearm, comprising:
- moving an alignment pin moveably connected to an outer wall of the frame and contacting the laser module,
- engaging the laser module with an internal seat of a resilient coupling, the resilient coupling including an external seat,
- forming a first adhesive-free interference fit between the external seat and the frame,
- removably connecting a cover to the frame to substantially completely enclose the laser module within a chamber formed by the frame, and
- forming a second adhesive-free interference fit between the cover and the external seat,
- wherein the outer wall comprises an exterior surface of the firearm, and wherein movement of the alignment pin results in movement of the laser module relative to the frame.
