Apparatus for attaching an accessory to a handgun

摘要

There is provided a flashlight attachment bracket useful for securing a flashlight or other similar device to a handgun. A resilient, grip-encircling arrangement is slid onto the handgun's grip from the front and secured against vertical movement (i.e., sliding off the bottom of the grip) by an opening adapted to receive a projection from the stock of the handgun. A flashlight-encircling bracket at the bottom of the support bracket slideably secures a flashlight so that the flashlight's front-to-back position may be adjusted for optimal balance and then the flashlight may be locked in place. No bracket components are permanently secured to the handgun; the mounting system allows the weapon to be holstered and quickly withdrawn without the flashlight in place.
