ABSTRACT:
A firearm skirt/magazine assembly used for safe insertion within a stock of a firearm when the stock is shorter in length than the magazine incorporates a skirt having an open end and a curved end wherein the curved end defines a generally curved upraised portion and the open end is shaped to correspond to the exterior cross-section of the magazine, so that the skirt may fit/snugly around the magazine. In use, when the skirt/magazine assembly is inserted into the stock of the handgun, the upraised portion abuts against a bottom end of the stock thereby preventing the firearm's interworking parts from being damaged by over-insertion of the magazine. Additionally, the magazine defines a magazine chamber for housing cartridges having a follower mounted for sliding movement and adapted to contact one of the cartridges and spring means for urging the follower in a direction towards a discharging end of the magazine, wherein the magazine defines a slot located having a shape and position such that when a user attempts to insert one more cartridge than intended to be housed within the magazine chamber, the follower is forced through the slot thereby disabling the spring means for urging the follower in a direction towards the discharging end of the magazine.
