A ring accessory for a firearm, such as a pistol or a long gun, includes an upper portion configured to attach to a frame of the firearm beneath a barrel and forward of a trigger guard. A vertical portion extends vertically downward from the upper portion, and a horizontal portion is connected to the vertical portion, extending horizontally therefrom toward the trigger guard. The vertical portion and the horizontal portion, together, define a horizontally-elongated aperture configured to be gripped by two or more fingers of a non-shooting hand of a user, with the two or more fingers extending horizontally therethrough, and with a palm of the non-shooting hand supporting the firearm from beneath the horizontal portion. A method for holding a firearm by a person using a compact shooting stance is also provided.

A pistol chassis is disclosed which may include a lower housing, an upper housing, a proximal enclosure, a distal sleeve, and a proximal accessory. The distal sleeve, lower housing, and upper housing may be secured together to form a tubular member for receiving a pistol. The lower housing further may include a distal segment, a proximal segment and an intermediate segment. The distal segment may include a pistol frame receptacle and a trigger guard enclosure. The proximal accessory may be a folding stock. The pistol chassis may house a pistol to produce a firearm apparatus.

Implementations of a stabilizing brace assembly for a firearm are provided. The stabilizing brace assembly is configured for use in attaching a forearm stabilizing brace to a pistol, thereby providing additional stability to a user aiming and firing the pistol. In some implementations, the stabilizing brace assembly is also configured to position an optical sight (e.g., a reflex type sight) so that it can be used to aim the pistol.

A firearm stabilizing accessory 16 is disclosed which may include a firearm interface 24, a distal joint 26, and a proximal joint 28. The firearm stabilizing accessory 16 may further include an arm 30 disposed between the distal joint 26 and the proximal joint 28. The proximal joint 28 may connect a boom 32 to the arm 30. The boom 32 may further include a brace 34 and a handle 36. The handle 36 may further include a surface 40 which may serve as a cheek weld for an operator of a handgun 12 which may be secured to the firearm interface 24.

A holster assembly includes an adaptor flange securable to a firearm and formed with an opening, a garment mounting provision, and a holster clip including resilient arms that include inner faces. One of the resilient arms includes a mounting feature that couples to the garment mounting provision. When the firearm is slid and fully holstered into the holster clip, the inner faces of the resilient arms click over a border of the opening and the firearm is securely held in the holster assembly.
