Pistol Multi-Functional Rear Rail Module

Abstract

The present invention provides a pistol with a frame having a rear grip, a trigger facility forward of the grip and an upper surface. An elongated slide is connected to the frame and operable to reciprocate along the upper surface. The frame defines a rear recess open at the upper surface. An insert is included having a major portion removably received in the rear recess and having a frame rail extending from the major portion above the upper surface. The frame rail is adapted to connect with the slide to constrain reciprocation.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A pistol, comprising:
 a frame having a rear grip, a trigger facility forward of the grip and an upper surface;   an elongated slide connected to the frame and operable to reciprocate along the upper surface;   the frame defining a rear recess open at the upper surface;   the frame defining a magazine well;   an insert having a major lower portion removably received in the rear recess and having a pair of opposed frame rails extending from the major lower portion above the upper surface, the frame rail adapted to connect with the slide to constrain reciprocation; and   a wall separating the rear recess from the magazine well.
