A slide assist system for a firearm having a frame and a reciprocating slide is disclosed. The slide assist system contains an elongated body having a first end pivotally connected to the reciprocating slide, and an opposed free end, the elongated body being movable between a stowed position in which the elongated body extends along the reciprocating slide and a deployed position in which the free end extends away from the reciprocating slide.

A laser aiming and illumination device comprising an illumination module, an illumination mode selector, a power module, an activation switch and a connection module. The illumination module including at least one of an illumination source and a laser source configured to be activated in a selected operating by actuation of the activation switch. The illumination mode selector configured to select said operating mode. The connection module releasably electrically connecting the power module and the illumination module.

A system for manipulating the engagement interface associated with securing accessories to a firearm. The system includes at least one accessory mount adapter that includes a first side that is constructed to cooperate with an engagement interface defined by a structure, such as a hand guard, that is securable to a firearm. A second side of the adapter defines a second engagement interface that is different than the first engagement interface and is configured to removably cooperate with a firearm accessory.

An adjustable mount is disclosed which can hold an electronic recording device on a hunting firearm like a rifle, so as to be able to record a kill and be able to look at the screen of the phone to see the crosshairs in the scope. The device makes it easier for younger kids to be able to make a shot and convenient for older hunters that have problems with their eyes to be able to see. The device enables sharing of the recording over a social computing based network.

An accessory mount for coupling an accessory to a mounting interface on a firearm includes a body with a lower engagement surface configured to engage a top surface of the mounting interface, a fixed clamp member extending from the body, and a movable clamp member configured to move along an axis relative to the fixed clamp member to clamp the mounting interface between the movable clamp member and the fixed clamp member. The axis and the lower engagement surface define an included angle greater than 0 degrees.

An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus may include a housing detachably couplable to a sighting device. The housing has a first opening and a second opening defining a viewing axis, and a sight shade disposed adjacent the first opening. The second opening is configured to engage an end of the sighting device. The viewing axis of the housing is coaxial with a viewing axis of the sighting device. The housing also includes at least one elongated member coupled with the housing and extending away from the second opening in a direction that is parallel with the viewing axis. The housing also includes a coupling device that is slidably coupled with the at least one elongated member, and configured to couple the at least one elongated member to the sighting device.

A flashlight assembly includes an elongated housing, a light assembly received within the front of the housing, a battery door assembly at the rear of the housing, a latch assembly on the top of the housing and a clamp assembly also on the top of the housing. Paddle switches for operating the flashlight are integrated into the battery door assembly at the rear of the housing. The battery door assembly is both slidable and rotatable relative to the main housing.

A weapon mountable illumination device configured to mount to existing firearm mounting rails to provide illumination of potential targets while mitigating problems associated with snagging, and shadow casting. It is an aspect of the present invention to provide a rapidly mountable device to provide increased lighting capability while obviating the need to remove back up iron sights.
