ABSTRACT:
A handgrip for a weapon having an opening extending from a bottom surface to a top surface, the opening defined by an elliptical cross-section and a tapered wall, and a cartridge clip defined by an elliptical cross-section and a tapered wall configured to frictionally engage the tapered wall of the handgrip. In a second embodiment, the tapered wall of the clip is provided with raised ribs, for increasing the frictional engagement of the tapered walls. The handgrip may also be provided with a distinctively colored notch to indicate that the clip has been pushed too far into the hollow handgrip. The clip is provided with a pivotally mounted pull ring to enable extraction of the clip from the hollow handgrip. The pull ring can be latched in an inoperative positive by a ring catch provided on the clip's base. The clip is molded of resilient rubber-like material. Also disclosed is a mold for molding the cartridge clip formed from two sides of a corresponding handgrip provided with a first flange having depending solid cylinders creating wells for receiving cartridges in the top of said cartridge clip, and a second flange having a projection configured to shape the base of said clip. For molding the second embodiment the inner surface of the two sides of the handgrip have grooves scored therein so as to provide ribs on the external wall of the clip, thereby increasing the frictional engagement between the tapered walls of the clip and the handgrip.
