DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
When fired, the recoil forces the gun backwards and the barrel upwards. To compensate for the force that moves the barrel upwards, several different types of stocks for handguns have been constructed, or belts to be winded round the arm in order to get the shooting more accurate. A secure and inexpensive support solution, which still maintains the properties of the handgun, has not so far been presented. The objective of the invention is thus to find a simple and cheap support solution, which is easily attached to old firearms or to new firearms already in the production stage.
With the support according to the invention, a decisive improvement of the above mentioned disadvantages is achieved. The invention is characterized in what is presented in the patent claims.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention provides a construction preserving the properties of the handgun. A better accuracy of aiming is achieved. The emptying of the handgun magazine is expedited. The lifting effect of the recoil on the barrel can be compensated. The support of the weapon is divided over more muscles, which means that the gun can be carried in aiming/firing position for a longer time without tiring the arm so quickly. The support of the gun weight is partly moved past the wrist to the whole arm. The trembling of the wrist decreases. The solution according to the invention can be used in handguns of different types and models. In double-acting handguns, in which the firing pin is cocked by pulling the trigger, the disadvantage of the cocking of the pin when aiming is eliminated by the support according to the invention, i.e. the moving of the aiming point due to heavy squeeze is well prevented (service and army pistols). If only one hand is in use, the support of the gun is very beneficial. Moreover, the gun can be used in non-support position despite the support, as the rear front of the slide can be designed to fit properly into the hand. The support can quickly (immediately) be put into non-support and support positions. The support can be mounted into any kind of a handgun. The attachment can easily be adopted to different types of guns, either into the space behind the magazine or with a suitable slot. The angle of the wrist support can be adjusted vertically and/or horizontally to achieve a desired support.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
FIG. 1 presents one embodiment of the invention, in which a reversible support has been attached to a Colt Government handgun. As shown most clearly in FIG. 6, the handgun consists of e.g. a barrel 44, a cartridge casing, a butt, breech, pin, grip, trigger 45 etc. (all not presented in the pictures) so that the gun can be used for shooting purposes.
The support of the present invention consists of a frame construction 2, comprising two plates 2a-2b, of which at least one has been provided with a longitudinal slot 22 for the sliding of the one end of the inner slide 1 in this slot, when the said plates have been placed against each other. A
