Embodiment Construction

[0014]An embodiment of the pistol frame of the present invention is shown and generally designated by the reference numeral 10.

[0015]FIGS. 1 & 3 illustrate the improved pistol frame 10 of the present invention. More particularly, the pistol frame has a right half 14 and a left half 16. The right half and left half are frame shells formed of metal, preferably aluminum, in the current embodiment. Each is an integral unitary element. All the internal parts are captured between the right and left halves. The pistol frame is held together by retaining screws 18 and retaining pins 20 such that the right and left halves separably contact each other at a medial plane. The retaining screws and retaining pins are a plurality of registration elements that are received in a plurality of registered apertures defined by the left and right halves. Although many of the features of the pistol frame that will be described result from the mating of the right half with the left half, the features of th...

Abstract

Pistol frames have a pair of opposed frame shells, the frame shells separable contacting each other at a medial plane, the shells defining a plurality of registered apertures configured to receive a plurality of registration elements, and the shells collectively defining a rail receptacle configured to receive a rail module. The shells may be formed of metal and be an integral unitary element. The shells may define a plurality of receptacles each configured to receive a rail module. The shells may at least in part define a magazine well having opposed sidewalls. The rail receptacle may be in open communication with the magazine well. The magazine well may have opposed side surfaces and opposed front and rear surfaces, the rear surface extending from a lower grip end of the frame and having an upper terminus at an intermediate location spaced apart from an upper limit of the frame.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16 / 531,251 filed on Aug. 5, 2019, entitled “PISTOL FRAME,” which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all that is taught and disclosed therein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to firearms and more particularly to a pistol frame.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Conventional pistol frames are often stamped from sheet metal, forming two mirror-image pieces that are fitted together like a clamshell. After stamping, various machining operations are still required, including drilling holes for pins and screws. Although CNC machining has made these finishing processes less tedious, they can still be time consuming and expensive.[0004]Therefore, a need exists for a new and improved pistol frame that can be manufactured from an extrusion to reduce machining time and associated expense. In this regard, the various embodiments of the pre...
