A fore grip for a firearm houses a light source and power source. The light source is preferably a laser and the power source is preferably one or more batteries. A first switch is connected to a PCB and can be moved to respective positions that correspond to each of various operating conditions, such as continuously on, continuously off, and on when a second switch is activated.

Front-grip lighting device

A sighting device is mountable to a gun. The device includes a sighting light source at the rear of the that is visible to a user when turned on. The sighting light source (preferably an LED light source emitted through an opening), can be used to sight a target. Preferably, the gun with which the sighting device is used also has a first, mechanical sight at the end of the barrel distal the sighting light source. In use the user aligns the sighting light source with the first, mechanical sight in order to properly sight a target. The first, mechanical sight could also be illuminated by a light source on the device, so it can be seen when the ambient light is low.

Light-assisted sighting devices

The invention provides a demolition utility tool that can be used in many ways for the demolition of materials and/or for the manipulation of clamps valves, nuts, or other hardware. The tool includes a handle having a head at one end. The head has a longitudinal central plane that bisects the head, a strike contact face, and toothed, stepped grasping jaws that accommodate multiple sizes of material. The demolition tool may include a fixed wrench element and/or a spanner wrench element on the head. The demolition tool may also include a bent end pry bar at a second end of the handle that is offset 90 degrees from the longitudinal central plane of the tool head enabling full range of motion without interfering with other tool functions. The bent end pry bar may include a slot between located between its forked end for manipulating gas shut-off valves.

A master module incorporates a laser, a power source, a control unit and a laser adjustment mechanism. The module is a single, compact unit designed to fit into a small casing.

Master module light source, retainer and kits

A sighting device (10) is mountable to a gun. The device (10) includes a light source (20) (preferably a laser), a power source (30) connectable to the light source (20) and a mount (102) attachable to the gun so that the laser is juxtaposed either the top surface of the gun or a side surface of the gun. In one embodiment, the sighting device (10) includes a bottom rail (102) mountable in a slot on the gun, wherein the slot is preferably positioned on the top surface of the gun. The sighting device (10) may also include a mechanical sight (2005) that functions as the rear mechanical sight on the gun and/or a secondary light source.

Slot-mounted sighting device

An ergonomic firearm grip includes a grip body having a front strap, a rear strap, a lower palm grip portion, and an upper firearm interface portion with parallel sides, a front interface end and a rear interface end, a rear strap extension connected to the rear strap adjacent the upper firearm interface portion where the rear strap extension has a rear curved surface portion that extends horizontally away from the rear strap at the junction of the rear strap extension and the rear strap and forming the rear interface end, and a front strap extension connected to the front strap where the front strap extension has a front curved surface portion that extends horizontally away from the front strap at the junction of the front strap extension and the front strap.

Ergonomic firearm grip

A holster (10) includes one or more modular inserts (90, 100) positioned within a rigid body (20) of the holster (10) to fit and position a preselected handgun (56) or group of similar handguns or other service items. Also described are security devices including a pivoting security hood (66) and an internal handgun retention device that engages an ejection port (136) of the handgun. The hood (66) and internal retention device may be both opened by a common release lever (70) of the holster (10) that is preferably located along a portion of the holster (10) substantially adjacent a user wearing the holster (10). The release lever (70) drives a rocking latch located along a front wall of the holster body (20), which latches the hood (66) in the closed position and engages an ejection port (136) of a holstered handgun (56). When actuated by the release lever (70), the latch (120) disengages the hood (66) and the ejection port (136), allowing the hood (66) to rotate open and the handgun (56) to be withdrawn from the holster (10).

Modular holster for handguns and the like

The present invention provides a hand-held striking tool that has a head disposed forward of the centerline of a handle. The hand-held striking tool of the present invention may further include a flange positioned beneath the head of the tool, the flange functioning as a second area of contact so that the effect of overstrike may be controlled. The present invention also provides a hand-held striking tool that isolates the striking head of the tool from the handle such that the effect of vibrations caused by using the tool are reduced.

Striking tool with weight forward head

By providing a movable, separate, and independent blade member (31) which is normally maintained in a stowed and hidden position, a combined, integrated, multi-purpose scissors and box cutter product (20) is achieved. In the present invention the combined integrated scissors and box cutting product incorporates two arm members (21, 22) pivotally mounted to each other, with each arm member (21, 22) incorporating a blade portion (24, 26) and a handle portion (23, 35). In the preferred construction the movable blade member (31) is retained within one handle portion (25) of one arm member (26) of the combined integrated scissors and box cutter product, with the movable, blade member being deployed for use only upon activation by the user. In this way the blade member remains concealed and hidden within the handle portion of the arm member when not desired.

Combined scissors and box cutter

] Described herein are systems and devices for providing an orthopedic walking brace having a housing and a sole with a curved distal surface. The housing is configured to encompass and immobilize a patient's ankle against flexion. The distal surface of the sole has a posterior region, a mid region, and an anterior region. The posterior region is configured to lie under a heel portion of the patient's foot, and the mid region is configured to lie under a center portion of the patient's foot. The anterior region is configured to lie under an anterior metatarsal and toe portion of the patient's foot, and has an Anterior-Posterior curvature that increases from a posterior side of the anterior region toward a middle portion of the anterior region and decreases from the middle portion toward an anterior side of the anterior region.
