US12753990 - Firearm bracket

A firearm bracket suitable for mounting a pistol to a rifle may include a bracket body. At least one rifle attachment rail slot may be provided in the bracket body. The rifle attachment rail slot may facilitate attachment of the firearm bracket to a rifle attachment rail on a rifle. At least one pistol opening may extend through the bracket body. The pistol opening may be suitably sized and configured to receive the barrel of at least one pistol. Accordingly, in typical application of the firearm bracket, the rifle attachment rail on the rifle may engaged with the rifle attachment rail slot in the bracket body. The barrel of the pistol may be extended through the pistol opening in the bracket body. The user of the firearm bracket may grasp the rifle grip on the rifle with one hand and the pistol grip on the pistol with the other hand to achieve better stability and comfort and ready firing access to both the rifle and the pistol during target practice, hunting, law enforcement or military exercises.
