Benefits of technology

[0004]The present invention is a forward grip that provides an area with which to grasp the front of the rifle and aid in stability and control. The forward grip is designed to be ergonomic in the sense that its grasping area is comfortable to hold. This is due to a swell in the mid-section of the left and right sides of the grip as well as a swell at the front of the grip between the index and middle finger-holds. Having a symmetrical swell on both sides of the grip allow the grip to be ambidextrous and fit comfortably in the palm of a right or left-handed individual. The frontal swell provides a solid area for fingers to squeeze and not slip during use.

Problems solved by technology

However, most forward grips fail to provide an ergonomic interface.
This design is basic in nature and provides little comfort during use.
This length can cause the grip to get caught in any gear a shooter might be wearing and deter the shooter from raising their gun fast enough.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]With reference now to the drawings, the preferred embodiment of the grip is herein described. It should be noted that the articles “a”, “an”, and “the”, as used in this specification, include plural references unless the content clearly dictates otherwise.

[0026]With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the grip 1 is formed of three parts, the handle 2, the locking key 3, and the battery compartment hatch 4. The handle 2 and the key 3 attach to each other via two screws 5 and two nuts 6. This allows the grip 1 to clamp around a Picatinny rail and attach to a firearm. Also depicted is the grip texture pattern 7.

[0027]FIGS. 3 and 4 depict the components of the grip in greater detail. The handle 2 features two countersunk holes 11 where the two nuts 6 fit. The handle features a finger swell 26 that sits between an index finger and a middle finger and a swell 27 on either side of the handle to allow the fingers to grip the handle more easily. The handle also has an area marked out for a cus...

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to firearms, and more specifically to firearm forward grips and how their design affects the performance of the firearm.[0002]In situations where it would be applicable to be shooting a firearm, a tool, referred to as a forward grip, is sometimes attached to the front area of the rifle between the action and the muzzle of the barrel. These forward grips provide a number of advantages and improvements when using a rifle. Among them is having your front hand positioned more consistently. This allows you to maintain a sight picture more quickly and easily and provide stability and control against recoil. Also, the forward grip, in general, provides a more comfortable area to grasp the rifle and hold it more firmly against your shoulder when moving around without having your hand slide down the length of the rifle. The grips can serve as a handhold when pulling back the charging handle or bolt. Forward grips allow the user t...
