Abstract:
1. An ergonomic fore grip for a firearm to stabilize the firearm, comprising: a main housing having a top end and a bottom end and a cut out there through; an upper mount for attaching the top end of the main housing to a firearm; two elongated legs having an upper hinged end and a bottom end; a foot member extending sideways from the bottom end of each of the two legs; a catch member that holds both of the leg members sandwiched together inside of the main housing, wherein each foot member substantially protrudes out of the bottom end of the main housing; a depressible switch for releasing the catch member and allowing the bottom end of the elongated legs to slide out from the opening in the main housing; and an expansion member positioned between the legs for causing the legs to pivot outward relative to the hinged end so that the legs expand outward in a triangular configuration.
