A caulk gun is provided with a forward-biasing mechanism to maintain contact between the caulk tube and the piston rod. The forward biasing mechanism is of simple construction and is piggy-backed to the trigger housing of the caulk gun. The operation of the forward-biasing mechanism relies on a friction grip which surrounds the piston rod. This friction grip is urged in the forward direction by a spring contained within the housing of the forward-biasing mechanism, and thereby biases the piston rod in the forward direction, while relieving the back pressure inside the caulk tube.
