Body contoured handgun

摘要

A handgun curved to correspond more closely with the contours of a person's body, achieving a comfortable fit when the handgun is worn for any appreciable amount of time on the person's body. The handgun housing is inclusive of a top portion, an intermediate portion, and a grip portion, which may be separately connected or integrally formed parts sharing a radius of curvature to form asymmetric left and right sides, particularly a concave side and a convex side. This asymmetry extends beyond the grip portion and includes at least a portion of the trigger guard and a portion of the magazine securing clip.

1. A body contoured handgun comprising a housing having an exterior surface with first and second lateral sides defined with respect to a vertical plane containing a longitudinal axis of said handgun when said handgun is held upright, and a housing interior enclosed by said first and second sides, said housing including:
an intermediate portion, a grip, and a top portion, said intermediate portion adjacent said grip, said top portion, and a trigger guard, said top portion adjacent said intermediate portion, wherein said first lateral side of said exterior surface of said housing is substantially curved concave inwards with respect to said vertical plane in a direction towards said housing interior such that said housing is contoured to a person's body when said handgun is carried on said person, and said second lateral side of said exterior surface of said housing is substantially curved convex outwards with respect to said vertical plane in a direction extending away from said housing interior; and said trigger guard substantially curved concave inwards with respect to said vertical plane towards said housing interior on the side said housing has a concave curvature, and substantially curved convex outwards with respect to said vertical plane extending away from said housing interior on the side said housing has a convex curvature.
