ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a handgun having a frame, a trigger, a removable trigger guard mounted on the frame through a releasable latch mounted on the trigger guard and engageable with the frame wherein a spring mounted on the trigger guard urges (a) the latch to its frame engagement position and (b) urges the trigger to its at rest position.
It is a feature of the invention that as the trigger is pulled to move it from its at rest position to its fire position the trigger guard latch arrangement is subjected to greater force thus increasing the force necessary to separate the frame and the guard and avoiding inadvertent detachment during recoil.
It is also a feature of the invention that the rearward portion of the trigger guard is so shaped and configured to mate exactly with the handgun's grips, thus avoiding gaps between the grips and trigger guard which must occur in the use of conventionally shaped trigger guards, and which can pinch portions of the user's fingers.
