Forearm-gripping stabilizing attachment for a handgun

Abstract

A forearm-gripping stabilizing attachment for a handgun that has a support structure extending rearwardly from the rear end of the handgun is provided. The forearm-gripping stabilizing attachment includes a body having a passage longitudinally extending therein. The support structure of the handgun is telescopically receivable by the passage to secure the stabilizing attachment to the handgun. The body is further configured to receive and grip a user's forearm such that the support structure extends along the user's forearm. The stabilizing attachment is particularly useful in aiding a physically disabled user with handling the handgun because the handgun essentially becomes an extension of the user's forearm such that the user may actually release his or her grip from the handgun to relax the user's hand between firing while still maintaining proper control of the handgun at all times.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bracket for a handgun, the bracket comprising:
 a first leg configured to be disposed between a hand gun and a grip of said hand gun;   a second leg configured to be disposed along a rear end of said hand gun; and   a support structure extending outwardly from said second leg.   
     
     
         2 . The bracket of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second legs are generally perpendicular to each other. 
     
     
         3 . The bracket of  claim 2 , wherein said first leg and second legs are connected together. 
     
     
         4 . The bracket of  claim 1 , wherein said support structure is a tubular member. 
     
     
         5 . The bracket of  claim 4 , wherein said first and second legs are generally perpendicular to each other. 
     
     
         6 . The bracket of  claim 5 , wherein said first leg and second legs are connected together. 
     
     
         7 . In combination a bracket and a handgun, the combination comprising:
 a first leg disposed between a hand gun and a grip of said hand gun;   a second leg disposed along a rear end of said hand gun; and   a support structure extending outwardly from said second leg.   
     
     
         8 . The combination of  claim 7 , wherein said first and second legs are generally perpendicular to each other. 
     
     
         9 . The combination of  claim 8 , wherein said first leg and second legs are connected together. 
     
     
         10 . The combination of  claim 7 , wherein said support structure is a tubular member. 
     
     
         11 . The combination of  claim 10 , wherein said first and second legs are generally perpendicular to each other. 
     
     
         12 . The combination of  claim 11 , wherein said first leg and second legs are connected together.
