Abstract

A folding pistol is balanced so that it is held making three points of contact with the user's hand, resulting in more stability when discharged. When held by a user, the invention puts the gun bore axis in close alignment to the center axis of the user's forearm; reducing barrel jump and improving accuracy. A folding rear activation arm when in the closed position mechanically blocks the hammers preventing unintentional discharge.
