A handguard (i.e. foregrip or forend) for a firearm having a longitudinal barrel (14) comprises a first handguard housing (30) positionable along the barrel and adapted to be secured to the firearm, a second handguard housing (32) having an end pivotally secured to the first handguard housing (30) about a transverse pivot axis (64), and a latching mechanism (76) carried by the second handguard housing (32). The latching mechanism (76) latches the second handguard housing (32) in a closed condition with respect to the first handguard housing (30) when the first handguard housing (30) is secured to the firearm, and unlatches the second handguard housing (32) from the closed condition whereupon the second handguard housing (32) is pivotally urgeable about the transverse pivot axis (64) to an open condition with respect to the first handguard housing (30). |
