Abstract:
Systems for a firearm are provided to increase safety, reduce complexity, and improve precision of the weapon. In general, examples of the systems including a safe axis firing pin that prevents unintended discharge are described herein, where the firing pin is not aligned with the primer of a chambered cartridge until the user intends to fire the firearm. Embodiments of the system are capable of modular installation and generally include a user-actuated trigger configured to displace the firing pin from a safe axis to a firing axis, by rotation, translation, or a combination thereof. Additional features are provided to prevent displacement of the firing pin by input other than the trigger, e.g., if the firearm is dropped. In another aspect, examples of the systems described herein include a barrel interfacing a slide where the barrel and slide include features to centrally align the barrel as the slide completes a cycle.

Abstract:
A handgun forearm support suitable, for example, for target and competitive handgun shooting, includes a grip adaptor configured to engage the grip of a handgun, an intermediate joint member that attaches to a proximal end of the grip adaptor with a pivot assembly, and a forearm brace that rotatably and lockably engages a proximal end of the intermediate joint member. Preferably the locking engagement is hand-operable, for example a joint having mating parts with interlocking radial teeth, with a wing nut and bolt engagement. The grip adaptor may insert into a recess in the handgun grip, or engage the sides of the handgun grip. One or more removably locking pins or screws lock the handgun to the grip adaptor.
