Palm pistol

Abstract

A form-factor for a palm pistol which reduces recoil movement and engages natural point of aim has a body for receiving and containing pistol action, a finger grip disposed on a top side of the body, a thumb grip disposed on a bottom side of the body, and a metacarpals grip disposed on a back of the body such that a bore axis of a barrel in the pistol action forms an angle with the metacarpals grip between 0° and 90°. This form-factor provides palm-forward, knuckles-up grip that aligns the barrel with the operator's forearm bones, thus distributing the rearward recoil force directly in-line with the forearm bones, thereby reducing recoil movement, and utilizing natural point of aim of the user.

1 . A palm pistol comprising:
 a pistol action including a chamber and barrel;   a body for receiving and containing the pistol action;   a finger phalanges grip disposed on a top side of the body;   a thumb phalange grip disposed on a bottom side of the body, wherein the bottom side is diametrically positioned relative to the top side; and   a fingers metacarpus grip disposed on a back of the body, wherein the back of the body extends as a plane from the top side and the bottom side, such that a bore axis of the barrel forms an angle with the fingers metacarpus grip of greater than 30° and up to and including 90°.   
     
     
         2 . The palm pistol as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the pistol action is rotatably contained within the body, thereby allowing adjustment of the formed angle between the fingers metacarpus grip and the bore axis. 
     
     
         3 . The palm pistol as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the formed angle is 40°. 
     
     
         4 . The palm pistol as set forth in  claim 1  further comprising at least one tang extending from an end of the body defined by an index finger phalange knurl on the top side and a thumb phalange grip on the bottom side. 
     
     
         5 . The palm pistol as set forth in  claim 1  further comprising a magazine well formed in an end of the body defined by an index finger phalange knurl on the top side and the thumb finger phalange grip on the bottom side. 
     
     
         6 . The palm pistol as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the finger phalanges grip comprises one or more knurl depressions in the body. 
     
     
         7 . The palm pistol as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the thumb phalange grip comprises a knurl depression in the body. 
     
     
         8 . The palm pistol as set forth in  claim 1  further comprising an ejection port formed towards the bottom side of the body. 
     
     
         9 - 10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . A palm pistol housing comprising:
 a body having a space formed within for receiving and containing a pistol action and a barrel ;   a finger phalanges grip disposed on a top side of the body;   a thumb phalange grip disposed on a bottom side of the body, wherein the bottom side is diametrically positioned relative to the top side; and   a fingers metacarpus grip disposed on a back of the body, wherein the back of the body extends as a plane from the top side and the bottom side, such that a pistol action is positionable with a barrel bore axis forming an angle with the fingers metacarpus grip of greater than 30° and up to and including 90°.   
     
     
         12 . The palm pistol housing as set forth in  claim 11  wherein space in the body in configured to rotatably receive and contain a pistol action, thereby allowing adjustment of the formed angle between the fingers metacarpus grip and the bore axis. 
     
     
         13 . The palm pistol housing as set forth in  claim 11  wherein the formed angle is 40°. 
     
     
         14 . The palm pistol housing as set forth in  claim 11  further comprising at least one tang extending from an end of the body defined by an index finger phalange knurl on the top side and a thumb phalange grip on the bottom side. 
     
     
         15 . The palm pistol housing as set forth in  claim 11  further comprising a magazine well formed in an end of the body defined by an index finger phalange knurl on the top side and the thumb finger phalange grip on the bottom side. 
     
     
         16 . The palm pistol housing as set forth in  claim 11  wherein the finger phalanges grip comprises one or more knurl depressions in the body. 
     
     
         17 . The palm pistol as set forth in  claim 11  wherein the thumb phalange grip comprises a knurl depression in the body. 
     
     
         18 . The palm pistol as set forth in  claim 11  further comprising an ejection port formed towards the bottom side of the body.
