Securing platform accessories are described herein. An example securing platform accessory comprises a rail mount, an electronic device holder, and a handle. The rail mount includes one or more guides that are sized and configured to allow the securing platform accessory to be releasably attached to a securing platform, such as a tactical rail on a firearm.

New targeting systems, hardware and techniques are provided, in which an auxiliary probe is first launched and deployed at a target. Extremely precise, deliberate targeting for future projectiles, weapons or non-lethal measures is then made relative to the position and orientation of the probe. In one embodiment, a system enables a sniper to plan measures with extreme precision within an environment, evaluate their effectiveness, and execute them extremely rapidly once satisfied. A user may create, set, adjust and execute Impact Point indicators, corresponding with projected points of impact of a projectile on a target subject within a target environment. The system may counteract and otherwise adjust for certain ballistic and environmental factors in a firing mechanism to maintain such an Impact Point fire ready, in real time. Yet the system is unobtrusive, allowing the user to engage ordinary targeting activity.

An integrated grip and rail adapter for a handgun includes two side panels having both grip sections that are adapted to form at least portions of the handgun grip and receiver sections that are adapted to extend from the grip sections along the receiver frame of the handgun beyond a trigger guard and beneath a barrel of the handgun. A mounting rail for mounting accessories beneath the barrel of the handgun is formed in the two receiver sections.

A method of aligning a point of aim with a point of impact for a projectile device is disclosed. Using a superposition device coupled to the projectile device, at least three reference points are superposed within a first target area with at least three diverging beams of the superposition device. Positions for at least three of the reference points are noted. A projectile is shot from the projectile device at a second target area, while the positions of the at least three reference points are maintained, to create the point of impact. The point of aim for the projectile device is adjusted to correspond with the point of impact while the positions of the at least three reference points are maintained. A system for aligning a point of aim with a point of impact for a projectile device is also disclosed.

A mounting assembly which may be releasably mounted on a standard mounting rail, where said rail includes a base plate and evenly spaced upwardly extending rail projections with evenly spaced transverse slots there between, each rail projection having an angulated upper side surface and an angulated lower side surface, said mounting assembly comprising: a first rail engaging surface and a second rail engaging surface, said first rail engaging surface and said second rail engaging surface facing said angulated lower side surface, when mounted on the rail, a third rail engaging surface and a fourth rail engaging surface, said third rail engaging surface and said fourth rail engaging surface facing said angulated upper side surface, when mounted on the rail, wherein at least said third rail engaging surface and said fourth rail engaging surface are formed with alternating flat surfaces and indentation surfaces, each indentation surface having a width extending a width of each of said transverse slots, and each flat surface having a width smaller than a width of each rail projection.

A firearm optic assembly has a body, the body having a first mounting facility configured to removably connect the body to the firearm, the body having a first receptacle configured to receive a first accessory, the body having a second mounting facility configured to removably receive a second mount portion associated with a second accessory offset from the medial plane, the second mounting facility including a pocket defined by one of the body and the second mount portion, the second mounting facility including a protrusion on the other of the body and the second mount portion, the protrusion being configured to be slidably or loosely received in the pocket, the protrusion having a free end and an opposed base end, the second mounting facility having an alignment facility including flared surfaces at the base end, and the flared surfaces being on opposing sides of the protrusion.

An optical aiming device that includes front and rear mounting rings having protrusions configured to engage grooves in a cylindrical body for alignment of the optical aiming device.

A mount for a firearm has a body having a first clamp configured to engage a first edge of the rail, a jaw movably connected to the body and having a second clamp opposed to the first clamp and operable with the respective clamps to engage respective opposed lateral edges of the rail, a spring biasing the jaw toward the body, and at least a portion of the spring being between the clamps. There may be a pushrod connected to a first one of the body and the jaw and slidably received by the other of the body and the jaw. The spring may be laterally positioned to one side of the pushrod. The spring may be a coil spring having a spring axis offset from a pushrod axis defined by the pushrod.

A dual-adjustable mounting shoe has a shoe body. A middle portion of the shoe body has at least one pocket formed therein. At least one pocket insert is positioned at least partially within the pocket. The pocket insert has a raised tooth positioned along a rear of the shoe body and a forward edge positioned along a front of the shoe body, wherein the at least one pocket insert is movable relative to the shoe body to adjust a position of at least one of the raised tooth and the forward edge relative to the shoe body. At least one fastener is engageable with the at least one pocket insert to secure the at least one pocket insert in a stationary position at least partially within the pocket. The dual-adjustable mounting shoe is usable with both a rear-indexing receptacle and a forward-indexing receptacle.

A dual clamping device.
