ABSTRACT:
A folding stock is provided for a pistol. The stock is particularly suited for automatic pistols which may employ extended magazines. The stock includes a first end which mates with the hollow located in the rear portion of the grip of the pistol. A first stock element is attached to the first end. A second stock element is pivotally attached to the first stock element. The attachment includes a spring mounted push-button element. The push-button element, when depressed, permits rotation of the stock from a folded to an unfolded position and visa versa. The pivotal attachment is securable in a folded first position and an unfolded second position. The folded position brings the first stock element into a substantially parallel and proximal arrangement with the second stock element. The securing mechanism is engaged and disengaged by the push-button located on the right side of the intersection of the first stock element and the second stock element. The push-button may be a pin member which is urged into a secured position by a pair of resilient springs. The push-button, when depressed, pushes the springs into their nest. When the push-button is fully depressed, the first and second stock member may rotate between the folded position and the unfolded position. When the push-button is released, the spring force urges the pin member (push-button) back to the neutral position, thus securing the first and second stock member in a folded or unfolded relation. The second stock element includes an U-shaped bend about midway down its length which would permit simple loading of extended length clips when the stock is in its folded position. The second stock element is attached to a shoulder interface. When the stock is extended, the shoulder interface would rest against one's shoulder, when folded the shoulder interface rests against the trigger guard.
