ABSTRACT:
A safety panel is attachable to the grip of a handgun that stores rounds in the grip and that has at least one opening in the frame of the grip through which hot gases and shrapnel may pass in a blowout. The safety panel is a plate that completely covers the openings and that has no apertures through it in a portion that is over an opening. The plate may have screw holes through it for attaching it to the frame. It also may have indentations in its periphery for an ambidextrous thumb safety, a mainspring housing pin, and a magazine release clearance. The safety panel is attached to the grip of the gun by removing the grip cover, inserting the safety panel in between the frame and the grip cover, and re-fastening the grip cover to the frame.
