Benefits of technology
Enables battery replacement without affecting the laser's accuracy and provides a secure, ergonomic grip for improved handling and accuracy in low-light conditions.
Problems solved by technology
They are increasingly popular for use with handguns, which are otherwise potentially difficult to aim and shoot accurately.
However, the LG-401 LASERGRIPS® has a significant disadvantage in that the sighting-in process of the laser has to be repeated every time the batteries are changed.
When the right grip is reattached, there is no guarantee the laser beam will still accurately reflect the firearm's point of impact.
Battery replacement is recommended at least annually, and even more frequently for heavy users, which creates considerable inconvenience if a shooting range is not readily available.
Furthermore, if the batteries begin to fail or experience a complete failure in the field, the user cannot replace them without taking the chance that the laser beam will no longer accurately indicate the firearm's point of impact.
The LG-401 LASERGRIPS® has an additional disadvantage in that its exterior mimics the standard hard factory-supplied firearm grips for handguns.

Embodiment Construction
[0038]An embodiment of the firearm handgrip assembly with laser gunsight system of the present invention is shown and generally designated by the reference numeral 10.
[0039]FIGS. 1-6 illustrate the improved firearm handgrip assembly with laser gunsight system 10 of the present invention for use with a pistol having removable grips. This type of pistol typically has a frame made from a lightweight metal, such as aluminum alloy, with a curved exterior surface adapted to be comfortably received in a user's hand. Only the frame 200 of the pistol is illustrated for clarity. More particularly, the frame shown is for a Smith & Wesson® J-Frame revolver.
[0040]The frame 200 has a downwardly-extending handgrip 202 that angles slightly rearward. The handgrip has a lower free end 206. The grip has flat or gently curved right and left side portions 208, 210, a gently curved front strap 212 facing forward, and a curved back strap 214 facing rearward. The handgrip generally has a rectangular cross-...

A firearm handgrip assembly with laser gunsight system has a first grip frame element adapted for mounting to a first portion of the firearm frame, the first grip frame element including at least one of an illuminator, a battery, a switch, and a controller, a cover portion of the grip defining an interior channel adapted to closely receive at least a major portion of the first portion of the firearm frame and the first grip frame element, the cover portion having a contoured exterior surface adapted for gripping by a user's hand, and a fastener operably engaging the cover portion to the firearm frame. The firearm frame may be a curved butt frame of a revolver. The interior channel of the cover portion may be curved. The fastener may include a threaded element connected to a lower end of the firearm frame.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 982,075, entitled “FIREARM HANDGRIP ASSEMBLY WITH LASER GUNSIGHT SYSTEM,” filed Dec. 29, 2015.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to firearm grip assemblies for handguns, and more particularly to a device that replaces the standard factory-supplied firearm handgrips without requiring significant modification of the firearm and enhances the functionality of the firearm by providing a laser gunsight operable by the user while the firearm is gripped by the handgrip in the firing position.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Lasers are commonly used for firearm sighting when light conditions are poor, such as at night or in the darkened rooms of buildings. They are often used by police and military users of firearms, who need to be able to quickly and accurately aim the firearm at a poorly-illuminated target under low light conditions. They are increasingly popular...
