Abstract
A grip and folding stock assembly mounted and arranged on a compact gun for facilitating use of the gun in various firing positions. An L-shaped bracket has one end secured to the distal end of a pistol grip emanating from the undersurface of the receiver of the gun, and the other end secured to the undersurface of the rearward end of the receiver. Mounted in this way, the bracket defines a forearm receiving portion for stabilizing the gun while firing. A folding stock is pivotally mounted to the rearward end of the receiver of the weapon. The stock is operative between three positions. In a first position, the stock is folded and brought into close proximity to the pistol grip. In a second position, the stock is placed into a position suitable for shoulder firing. In a third position, the stock is placed into a position suitable for underarm firing. A cartridge magazine of improved construction fits within the pistol grip. A trigger guard is provided just ahead of the pistol grip and completely surrounds and protects the trigger of the weapon. A handgrip forms part of the trigger guard. The handgrip performs the simultaneous functions of defining a portion of the trigger guard and providing a grip for holding the gun during firing.
