Abstract:

A synthetic grip for a handgun (specifically a revolver) that does not require any separate attaching components. The grip is attached to the handle frame by engaging the existing frame stock pin with the grip's own spring tension resiliency. The grip has a U-shaped molded assembly having a front wall portion and two side wall portions extending rearwardly from the outer edges of the front wall portion for engaging the side walls of the handle frame. Each side wall portion has a groove in its inner surface extending substantially from its top end to its bottom end thereby forming a track for receiving the opposite ends of the stock pin extending outwardly from the side walls of the handle frame. Adjacent the bottom end of each of the grooves is a recess that captures the ends of the stock pin. The grip is preferably made from a hard plastic U-shaped core member that has been overmolded with a resilient layer of plastic material.
