Abstract

The invention is a pistol shot stabilization harness comprised of a plurality of elongated interwoven strands of durable rawhide or nylon material knotted at the ends thereof to form a closed loop which is, in turn fitted with a slideable clasp unit at the end thereof opposite the knotted end once the interwoven strands are affixed together to thereby form a pair of internal loops with one internal loop being worn about the neck of the user of a pistol and with the second internal loop fitted about the handle portion of a pistol.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to that particular coterie of devices meant to serve the purpose of stabilizing a pistol.
2. Related Art
The art disclosed in the Information Disclosure Statement submitted herewith somewhat resembles but does not anticipate the invention.

A SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

1. A Brief Description of the Invention
The invention consists of a plurality of elongated strand of rawhide material interwoven with one another. The strands are knotted at the ends thereof to thereby form a closed loop of interwoven rawhide strands with the knot serving to denote the first end of the loop. Alternatively, the interwoven strands could be made up of a synthetic nylon material as well. A tightly fitted hollow cylindrical or rectangularly shaped slideable clasp unit is fitted about the interwoven strands at the second end thereof opposite the first end. A sliding of the clasp for a distance away from the second end of the loop results in the formation of a pair of internal loops one of which sizewise adjustable within the previously solitary closed loop. A first one of the pair or so formed internal loops fitted about the handle of a holstered pistol serves to steady the pistol as it is drawn and then fired at a target while the second one of such so formed internal loops is worn about the neck of the user of the pistol.
2. Objects of the Invention
The invention serves to readily and very reliably steady a pistol in the hand of the user of the pistol during firing of the weapon. Such steadying serves to greatly enhance accuracy in terms of firing at and hitting a target during the course of raising, aiming and then shooting the pistol. Resort to the use of interwoven strands of rawhide or nylon material serves to ensure the long term durability of the invention much moreso than use instead of material made up of leather and/or cloth.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The invention is a pistol shot stabilization harness. It serves to steady a person A's hand gripping a pistol C as the pistol C is aimed and then fired at a target by the person A after having removed the pistol C from a holster B held against the body of person A. One embodiment of the invention is made up of a plurality of elongated strands of rawhide or sturdy nylon material interwoven together as shown in FIG. 1. These would be first strand 1, second strand 2 and third strand 3. A plurality of three strands so interwoven together result in the formation of a sturdier harness than a plurality of two such strands. But, a harness made up of a single elongated strand 1 as shown in FIG. 6 for a second embodiment of the invention could also serve the steadying purpose outlined just above. Strands 1, 2 and 3 are tied together at the ends thereof into a knot 4 thus forming a knotted end of a closed loop of strands 1, 2 and 3 all as shown in FIG. 2. Affixation means 6 such as glue or threading are applied to the closed loop nearer to the second end 7 thereof than to the knotted end thereof, which knotted end is marked by the presence thereat of knot 4 so as to thereby form first internal loop 8 and second internal loop 9 as seen also with reference to FIG. 2. A sturdy slideable clasp unit 5 with an interior lumen broad enough to snugly fit about the second end 7 of the closed loop and then be slideable thereafter up or down the closed loop is fitted about the second end 7 of the closed loop as shown in FIG. 3 to function for the purpose of adjusting the size of second internal loop 9 in accordance with the preferences of any given person A. The clasp unit 5 is rounded in shape and closed. It could be rectangular in shape. It could be rounded in shape and partially open or it could be a three sided unit. FIG. 4 depicts the invention worn about the neck of a person A with loop 9 around the neck and loop 8 around the handle of a pistol C positioned, before being aimed and fired, within holster B. FIG. 5 depicts the invention in use by a person A during the aiming of pistol C in anticipation of firing the pistol C in the direction of a target.
The invention as shown and described above, provides a notable simple but highly effective means whereby the hand of a person A can readily be steadied during the aiming and firing of a pistol C so as to thereby maximize the possibility that the target being aimed at will be struck true much more often than not. As earlier noted, rawhide or nylon material for the elongated strands is longer lasting and much less prone to fraying or breakage than would be leather or cloth material.
In view of the foregoing, it is respectfully submitted, unquestionably the case that the invention as described and shown above is indeed new, useful and unique.
