Abstract

A weapon grip includes a grip body and a cross-sectionally generally U-shaped grip shell, each having opposite side walls and a rear wall interconnecting the side walls. The grip shell which is a one-piece component, is readily removably and replaceably inserted on the grip body in an installed position such that the walls of the grip body face the respective walls of the grip shell. The grip body and the shell body carry respective first and second abutment faces extending parallel to the length dimension of the grip body. The first and second abutment faces are in contact with one another in the installed position. First and second guides are formed on the grip body and the grip shell, respectively, and are disposed relative to one another and relative to the first and second abutment faces such that during motion of insertion of the grip shell on the grip body parallel to the length dimension, the first and second guides are in sliding engagement with one another and, by camming action, shift the grip shell relative to the grip body in a direction transverse to the length dimension for causing the first abutment face to arrive into contact with the second abutment face upon conclusion of the motion of insertion.
