Abstract

A fixing rack for use in quickly clipping an accessory on to a pistol has an elastic clipping seat made of an elastic sheet having two opposing sides that are bent upwardly and inwardly to a preset angle. Each side of the elastic sheet has an inwardly-extending flange, and the two flanges defining an opening therebetween that varies in width when the sides are flexed. The fixing rack also includes two releasing plates, each releasing plate attached to one of the two sides of the elastic sheet to flex the two sides. The fixing rack also includes a fixing sheath attached below the clipping seat, the fixing sheath having a chamber for receiving a pistol accessory. The fixing rack can be quickly and conveniently attached to a pistol by flexing the releasing plates to widen the opening between the flanges, thereby allowing the flanges to be slid into corresponding wedging grooves in a pistol.
