Abstract

An angled pistol grip for use in a semiautomatic weapon. Said pistol grip oriented asymmetrically from the centerline of the rifle body thereby reducing the stress on the shooter's wrist of the hand holding said pistol grip while firing. Thus allowing the shooter to correctly position the weapon, relative to the shooter's body, for accurate aiming.
