AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a firearm with a folding grip that can contain the magazine for the firearm, making it easier to conceal, carry, or store. There is also a version that detaches the magazine and stores it underneath the barrel for even easier concealment. The closer the grip to the trigger, the more comfortable the firearm is to carry. The invention also includes a shorter magazine that reduces the size and imprint of the firearm. The smaller the magazine, the easier it is to conceal. The "L-shape" design of traditional pistols makes it difficult to conceal carry when carrying on the body. The invention increases the capacity of ammunition and reduces the imprint that discloses the individual is carrying a pistol. It also increases the comfort of carrying or concealing the firearm.

Problems solved by technology

Pistols are typically in an L-shape form (with the grip protruding downward from the slide / barrel of the firearm), which makes it the most comfortable way to shoot but also makes it difficult to conceal under clothing or makes it bulky / uncomfortable to carry around in a holster.
The larger the magazine, the harder it is to conceal.
Also, the standard ‘L-shape’ of pistol limits the options to conceal or carry on the body.
For example, a standard magazine on a full size pistol is around 16 rounds, but it would be very hard for an average person to practically carry that pistol in an ankle holster.
