Abstract

A firearm training assembly includes a handgun that has a grip, a slide, a barrel and a trigger thereby facilitating the handgun to be gripped by a user for the purposes of training proper grip technique. A recoil generator is integrated into the handgun and the recoil generator imparts a discharge force into the handgun when the recoil generator is actuated thereby facilitating the handgun to simulate the recoil of firing a handgun with respect to the user gripping the handgun. A grip force unit is integrated into the handgun and the grip force unit includes a plurality of sensing elements that is each integrated into strategic locations on the handgun thereby facilitating each of the sensing elements to be in communication with the user's hand when the user grips the handgun. In this way the plurality of sensing elements senses grip force imparted into the handgun at each of the strategic locations when the recoil generator is actuated.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . A firearm training assembly for training proper grip technique on a handgun, said assembly comprising:
 a handgun having a grip, a slide, a barrel and a trigger thereby facilitating said handgun to be gripped by a user for the purposes of training proper grip technique;   a recoil generator being integrated into said handgun, said recoil generator imparting a discharge force into said handgun when said recoil generator is actuated thereby facilitating said handgun to simulate the recoil of firing a handgun with respect to the user gripping said handgun;   a grip force unit being integrated into said handgun, said grip force unit including a plurality of sensing elements each being integrated into strategic locations on said handgun thereby facilitating each of said sensing elements to be in communication with the user's hand when the user grips said handgun such that said plurality of sensing elements senses grip force imparted into said handgun at each of said strategic locations when said recoil generator is actuated.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said recoil generator is in operational communication with said trigger, said recoil generator being actuated when said trigger is urged into a firing position. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said grip force unit comprises:
 a control circuit being integrated into said handgun;   a plurality of pressure sensors, each of said pressure sensors being integrated into said handgun such that said plurality of pressure sensors defines said plurality of sensing elements, said plurality of pressure sensors being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said plurality of pressure sensors including a front grip sensor being integrated into a front side of said grip of said handgun and a back grip sensor being integrated into a back side of said grip of said handgun and a barrel sensor being integrated into a lateral side of said barrel of said handgun and a trigger sensor being integrated into said trigger of said handgun;   a transceiver being integrated into said handgun, said transceiver being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said transceiver broadcasting a data signal comprising pressure data received from each of said plurality of pressure sensors; and   a power supply being integrated into said handgun, said power supply being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said power supply comprising:   a rechargeable battery being integrated into said grip of said handgun, said rechargeable battery being electrically coupled to said control circuit; and   a charge port being recessed into a bottom end of said grip of said handgun thereby facilitating said charge port to receive a charge cord of a charger, said charge port being electrically coupled to said rechargeable battery for charging said rechargeable battery.   
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 3 , further comprising a personal electronic device storing analysis software, said personal electronic device being in remote communication with said grip force unit, said analysis software analyzing data received from said grip force unit thereby facilitating said analysis software to analyze the user's grip technique for training the user to improve their grip technique, said personal electronic device being in wireless communication with said transceiver such that said personal electronic device receives said pressure data from said transceiver. 
     
     
         5 . A firearm training assembly for training proper grip technique on a handgun, said assembly comprising:
 a handgun having a grip, a slide, a barrel and a trigger thereby facilitating said handgun to be gripped by a user for the purposes of training proper grip technique;   a recoil generator being integrated into said handgun, said recoil generator imparting a discharge force into said handgun when said recoil generator is actuated thereby facilitating said handgun to simulate the recoil of firing a handgun with respect to the user gripping said handgun, said recoil generator being in operational communication with said trigger, said recoil generator being actuated when said trigger is urged into a firing position;   a grip force unit being integrated into said handgun, said grip force unit including a plurality of sensing elements each being integrated into strategic locations on said handgun thereby facilitating each of said sensing elements to be in communication with the user's hand when the user grips said handgun such that said plurality of sensing elements senses grip force imparted into said handgun at each of said strategic locations when said recoil generator is actuated, said grip force unit comprising:
 a control circuit being integrated into said handgun; 
 a plurality of pressure sensors, each of said pressure sensors being integrated into said handgun such that said plurality of pressure sensors defines said plurality of sensing elements, said plurality of pressure sensors being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said plurality of pressure sensors including a front grip sensor being integrated into a front side of said grip of said handgun and a back grip sensor being integrated into a back side of said grip of said handgun and a barrel sensor being integrated into a lateral side of said barrel of said handgun and a trigger sensor being integrated into said trigger of said handgun; 
 a transceiver being integrated into said handgun, said transceiver being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said transceiver broadcasting a data signal comprising pressure data received from each of said plurality of pressure sensors; and 
 a power supply being integrated into said handgun, said power supply being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said power supply comprising:
 a rechargeable battery being integrated into said grip of said handgun, said rechargeable battery being electrically coupled to said control circuit; and 
 a charge port being recessed into a bottom end of said grip of said handgun thereby facilitating said charge port to receive a charge cord of a charger, said charge port being electrically coupled to said rechargeable battery for charging said rechargeable battery; and 
 
 a personal electronic device storing analysis software, said personal electronic device being in remote communication with said grip force unit, said analysis software analyzing data received from said grip force unit thereby facilitating said analysis software to analyze the user's grip technique for training the user to improve their grip technique, said personal electronic device being in wireless communication with said transceiver such that said personal electronic device receives said pressure data from said transceiver.
