A firearm release apparatus comprises a carriage with a rail that supports an end block fixed to a proximal end of the rail and adapted to releasably nest with the hammer end of a handgun. At least one spring member joins the proximal end block to a distal block that is adapted to cup the barrel end of a handgun. The gap width between the proximal end block and the distal end block is adjustable because the distal block is movable away from or toward the proximal end block depending on the tension applied to the at least one spring member. A handgun is mountable between the end blocks. A spring exerts force against an end of the rail such that when triggered, the carriage is ejected from an enclosure and the handgun is presented to a user in a ready state where the handgun grip is circumferentially free of obstructions.
