Abstract

A device implementable on a firearm includes a firearm grip configured to be held or gripped by a user of the firearm. The firearm grip includes a grip body and a grip insert. The grip body has a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end can mate with a surface of the firearm when the firearm grip is installed on the firearm. The second end has a void that can receive and accommodate the grip insert therein. The grip insert includes a first lock and a second lock. When in a first position, the first lock locks the grip insert in the void of the grip body. When in a second position, the first lock unlocks the grip insert such that the grip insert is removable from the grip body. The second lock is configured to lock the first lock in the first position.

Claims (32)

1. A device implementable on a firearm, comprising:

a firearm grip configured to be held or gripped by a user of the firearm, the firearm grip comprising a grip body and a grip insert,

wherein the grip body comprises a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first end configured to mate with a surface of the firearm when the firearm grip is installed on the firearm, the second end having a void configured to receive and accommodate the grip insert therein, and

wherein the grip insert comprises a first lock and a second lock such that:

when in a first position, the first lock locks the grip insert in the void of the grip body;

when in a second position, the first lock unlocks the grip insert such that the grip insert is removable from the void of the grip body; and

the second lock is configured to lock the first lock in the first position.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein a first side of the grip insert is configured with a cavity which forms a storage space with the void of the grip body when the grip insert is received in the grip body.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the first lock is movable between the first position and the second position on a second side of the grip insert opposite the first side thereof.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the second lock comprises a screw, rod, pin or roll pin.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the second lock is removably receivable in a hole on an edge of the second side of the grip insert such that, when the second lock is inserted or received in the hole in a direction perpendicular to a movement of the first lock between the first position and the second position, the first lock is locked in the first position and prevented from moving to the second position.

6. The device of claim 4 , wherein the second lock is removably receivable in an angled hole on the second side of the grip insert and traversing a portion of the grip insert at an angle other than 90° relative to the second side such that, when the second lock is inserted or received in the angled hole, the first lock is locked in the first position and prevented from moving to the second position.

7. The device of claim 4 , wherein the second lock is removably receivable in a hole on an edge of the second side of the grip insert such that, when the second lock is inserted or received in the hole in a direction parallel to a movement of the first lock between the first position and the second position, the first lock is locked in the first position and prevented from moving to the second position.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the firearm grip comprises a pistol grip.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the firearm grip comprises a vertical grip.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the firearm grip comprises an angled grip.

11. A device implementable on a firearm, comprising:

a firearm grip configured to be held or gripped by a user of the firearm, the firearm grip comprising a grip body and a grip insert,

wherein the grip insert comprises a first lock and a second lock such that:

when in a first position, the first lock locks the grip insert in a void of the grip body;

when in a second position, the first lock unlocks the grip insert such that the grip insert is removable from the void of the grip body;

when locked in place, the second lock is configured to lock the first lock in the first position; and

when the second lock is unlocked, the first lock is movable from the first position to the second position.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein a first side of the grip insert is configured with a cavity which forms a storage space with the void of the grip body when the grip insert is received in the grip body.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the first lock is movable between the first position and the second position on a second side of the grip insert opposite the first side thereof.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the second lock comprises a screw, rod, pin or roll pin.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein the second lock is removably receivable in a hole on an edge of the second side of the grip insert such that, when the second lock is inserted or received in the hole in a direction perpendicular to a movement of the first lock between the first position and the second position, the first lock is locked in the first position and prevented from moving to the second position.

16. The device of claim 14 , wherein the second lock is removably receivable in an angled hole on the second side of the grip insert and traversing a portion of the grip insert at an angle other than 90° relative to the second side such that, when the second lock is inserted or received in the angled hole, the first lock is locked in the first position and prevented from moving to the second position.

17. The device of claim 14 , wherein the second lock is removably receivable in a hole on an edge of the second side of the grip insert such that, when the second lock is inserted or received in the hole in a direction parallel to a movement of the first lock between the first position and the second position, the first lock is locked in the first position and prevented from moving to the second position.

18. The device of claim 11 , wherein the firearm grip comprises a pistol grip.

19. The device of claim 11 , wherein the firearm grip comprises a vertical grip.

20. The device of claim 11 , wherein the firearm grip comprises an angled grip.
