Abstract

A target grip for a firearm comprising fixed and removable trigger finger extenders for a side panel of the firearm for enabling the distal portion of a user's trigger finger to contact a trigger at an angle approximately perpendicular to the trigger for more shooting accuracy and consistency. Various size target grip trigger finger extenders are provided for the side panel of the firearm until the proper size extender is found by a user. In one embodiment, the target grip extender is secured by a locking device positioned within the extender. In another embodiment, the trigger finger extender is an integral part of the side panel. The side panel may be attached to the side of a firearm by screws or by an adhesive. In a further embodiment, the trigger finger extender is an integral part of a sleeve that slips over the frame of the firearm.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a Continuation-In-Part of prior application Ser. No. 10 / 404,930, filed Apr. 1, 2003, now pending.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] This invention relates to a firearm grip and in particular to a pistol target grip comprising fixed and removable trigger finger extenders on a side panel of the body of the firearm grip. [0004] 2. Description of Related Art [0005] Many types of grips have been devised for attachment to firearms or pistols enabling a user to better hold and aim a firearm, or to reduce recoil or otherwise improve the comfort when the firearm is held and fired to achieve consistent accuracy. The use of elastomers in the grip assembly provides for a better “feel” in the user's hand and may provide a certain amount of bulk or sizing to otherwise standard factory produced grips. The following listed U.S. patents are examples of firearm grips. [0006] U.S. Pat. No. 5,621,997 iss...
