Fixation System for the Backstrap of Pistol Grips

Abstract

The present invention describes a fixation system for the backstrap of pistol grips, preferably micro-compact pistols. The present invention aims to promote better ergonomics for different users of the same pistol. As each person has different hand dimensions, it is not possible to develop a grip geometry that ensures an ideal hold for everyone, thus, the present invention describes a system that allows the interchangeability of backstraps of different sizes, all of which can be fitted to the pistol's grip. To attach the backstrap to the grip, a housing and a tab equipped with at least one through-hole are designed on the grip and a protrusion is arranged on the backstrap, which fits into said housing, and holes for a connecting element to be inserted and held in the holes and the through-hole.

1 . A fixation system for backstrap of grip of micro-compact pistols characterized by
 on a rear face of the grip, said grip comprises in its upper region a housing and in its lower region a tab provided with at least one through-hole;   the backstrap in its upper region comprises a protrusion, and in its lower region, two aligned through-holes;   comprising a connecting element;   for fixing the backstrap to the grip, the protrusion is positioned in the housing, and with the hole of the tab and the holes of the backstrap aligned, the connecting element is inserted into the through-holes of the backstrap and the grip.   
     
     
         2 . The system, according to  claim 1 , wherein the backstrap presents on its external surface, partially or totally, a texture. 
     
     
         3 . The system, according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting element is a pin. 
     
     
         4 . The system, according to  claim 1 , characterized by comprising an interference fit between the connecting element with the holes in the backstrap and the hole of the tab. 
     
     
         5 . A pistol characterized by having a fixation system for the backstrap as defined in  claim 1 .
