Firearm foregrip with illuminator
A firearm accessory and associated components and methods. The firearm accessory can include a foregrip and/or an illuminator (e.g., light and/or laser). The firearm accessory can include a support body selectively operatively connectable to a support body receiver in a first orientation and in a second orientation. The support body can include an actuator configured to change an operational state of the illuminator and/or a port configured to connect a remote actuator to the support body.
1. A firearm illuminator system comprising:
a firearm mount configured to be connected to a firearm;
an illuminator supported by the firearm mount, the illuminator including a light source;
a support body receiver supported by the firearm mount; and
a support body selectively connectable to the support body receiver, the support body including at least one of an actuator configured to change an operational state of the light source or a port configured to connect a remote to the support body.
2. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the support body includes the actuator.
3. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the support body is operatively connectable to the support body receiver in a first orientation and operatively connectable to the support body in a second orientation different from the first orientation.
4. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 3 , wherein in the first orientation the actuator is located on a first side of the illuminator, and in the second orientation the actuator is located on a second side of the illuminator opposite the first side.
5. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the actuator is configured to turn the light source on and off.
6. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the support body is a first support body, and the firearm illuminator system includes a second support body, the second support body and first support body being interchangeable for connection to the support body receiver, the second support body including a port configured to connect a remote to the second support body.
7. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 6 , in combination with the remote and a tether connected to the remote, the tether being operatively connectable to the port of the second support body.
8. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the firearm mount is a first firearm mount, and wherein the remote includes a second firearm mount configured to be connected to the firearm separately from the first firearm mount.
9. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 8 , wherein the second firearm mount includes a pair of jaws configured to mount to a rail of the firearm.
10. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 8 , wherein the first firearm mount includes an adaptor configured to permit the first firearm mount to be connectable to different types of firearm mounting structure.
11. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the actuator is a first actuator, and wherein the remote comprises a second actuator configured to change an operational state of the light source.
12. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 11 , wherein the second actuator is configured to turn the light source on and off.
13. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 12 , wherein the second actuator comprises a momentary switch configured to turn the light source on when the momentary switch is engaged and to turn the light source off when the momentary switch is disengaged.
14. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 1 , in combination with the remote and a tether connected to the remote, and wherein the support body includes the port, the tether being operatively connectable to the port to connect the remote to the port.
15. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 14 , wherein the support body is operatively connectable to the support body receiver in a first orientation and operatively connectable to the support body receiver in a second orientation different from the first orientation.
16. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 15 , wherein the firearm mount is a first firearm mount, and wherein the remote includes a second firearm mount configured to be connected to the firearm separately from the first firearm mount.
17. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 14 , wherein the actuator is a first actuator, and wherein the remote comprises a second actuator configured to change an operational state of the light source.
18. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the support body includes the actuator and the port.
19. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 18 , wherein the support body is operatively connectable to the support body receiver in a first orientation and operatively connectable to the support body in a second orientation different from the first orientation.
20. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 19 , wherein in the first orientation the actuator is located on a first side of the illuminator, and in the second orientation the actuator is located on a second side of the illuminator opposite the first side.
21. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 20 , wherein the actuator is configured to turn the light source on and off.
22. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 18 , in combination with the remote and a tether connected to the remote, the tether being operatively connectable to the port to connect the remote to the port.
23. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 22 , wherein the firearm mount is a first firearm mount, and wherein the remote includes a second firearm mount configured to be connected to the firearm separately from the first firearm mount.
24. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 22 , wherein the actuator is a first actuator, and wherein the remote comprises a second actuator configured to change an operational state of the light source.
25. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 24 , wherein the second actuator is configured to turn the light source on and off.
26. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 25 , wherein the second actuator comprises a momentary switch configured to turn the light source on when the momentary switch is engaged and to turn the light source off when the momentary switch is disengaged.
27. A firearm illuminator system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the light source comprises an LED.
