A quick changeover is ensured by the assembly in that in the rear and front regions of the handle frame at least one adapter element is provided which cooperates with a rear and front adapter piece of a grip enhancer for attachment of the grip enhancer 100 to the handle frame. In the rear part of the handle frame there is also provided an eyelet device which, when the grip enhancer is attached to the handle frame, positively engages a bore in the grip enhancer. A securing pin can be releasably inserted into the eyelet device in order to releasably connect the grip enhancer to the handle frame.
