A collapsible pistol features enhanced safety, ease of use, and improved performance as compared to prior designs. The pistol is easily reconfigured from an open, ready-to-fire position to a closed or collapsed position that makes the pistol quite compact, safe, and readily concealable. The overall design of the pistol is such that the manipulation of the pistol into and out of the open, ready-to-fire position can be accomplished with a user having relatively small hands and/or relatively low grip strength.

A small pistol device that shoots red paint pellets is intended to be used for personal protection. The pistol is disguised to appear as a rectangular cellular phone. The pistol is intended to be worn discreetly upon a user's belt using a clip. During a confrontation, a user would fire a paint pellet at the perpetrator causing the release of paint. It is intended that the perpetrator would think they have been shot, thereby providing an opportunity for the user to escape.

A folding pistol has a frame having slide rails adapted to receive a slide, a grip defining a magazine passage pivotally connected to the frame at a first pivot and having a free end extending away from the first pivot, the grip being movable between an extended position in which the pistol is operable, and a stowed position in which the free end of the grip is adjacent the frame, a forward trigger guard element pivotally connected to the frame at a second pivot, a lower trigger guard element connected to the forward trigger guard element at a third pivot, and the lower trigger guard element connected to the grip at a fourth pivot. The first, second, third, and fourth pivots may be at different locations. There may be a trigger connected to the frame at a selected one of the first, second, third, and fourth pivots.

This invention is characterized by its appearance as a bracelet or a wrist watch, for example. The distinctive features of this device are its micro size, stealth-ness, and light weight. The object of this invention is to a provide state-of-the-art personal protection in two forms, a firearm and a knife, both of which are totally concealable even if the wearer is not wearing clothes. They are both instantly available and easily deployed to protect oneself from an imminent threat.

The present disclosure describes a foldable firearm that collapses into a folded state under spring pressure. The foldable firearm may include a foldable grip assembly. The foldable grip assembly may include a foldable pistol grip, a foldable trigger assembly, a folding bar, and a foldable hand stop. The foldable grip assembly may fold into the top shell of the foldable firearm. The foldable firearm may also include an ambidextrous charging handle assembly that may include a bottom portion, a top portion, a guide bar, and two opposing charging handles. The charging handles may be pulled to unfold the foldable firearm, and/or butterflied such that pivoting one charging handle causes the other charging handle to pivot. The first-pivoted charging handle may then be pulled rearwards to unfold the firearm. The first-pivoted charging handle may then be pulled further rearwards to rack the slide of the foldable firearm.
