ABSTRACT:
An attachment is provided for a firearm, such as a handgun, with the attachment being adapted for use during target practice. The attachment includes a cylinder which is releasably secured to the barrel of the firearm. A needle-like rod is contained within the cylinder and is ejected therefrom after the trigger is pulled. A pair of arms extend outwardly from the cylinder proximate the rearward end thereof with the inner end of the arms being coupled to the rod and with the outer end of the arms being adapted to be struck by a portion of the hammer of the firearm. The target is reduced in scale and is placed only several inches away from the muzzle of the firearm. In one embodiment of the invention, a spring is utilized for returning the rod to its initial, retracted position after each firing. In another embodiment of the invention an external spring clip or latch extends into the cylinder and is adapted to releasably retain the rod prior to the firing thereof.
