Abstract
A handgun has a frame which includes a hollow pistol grip with an opening through one of its sides to provide access to mechanism contained therein. A grip panel provides a closure for the opening and is releasably secured to the pistol grip by a single fastener which extends centrally through the panel and is threadably engaged with a retaining strip which extends across the opening. One end of the retaining strip is anchored by a pin mounted on the pistol grip. The other end of the retaining strip bears against the inner end of a marginal flange which surrounds the opening in the pistol grip. The pin may comprise a pivot pin which supports a part of the mechanism contained within the pistol grip.
