Abstract

See full text

Example cartridge magazines for use within a curved handle of certain pistols have a laterally curved housing so that the pistols and magazines can fit comfortably along a user's body. Such curved pistols and magazines are particularly suited for carrying within a shirt or pants pocket. A curved pistol loaded with a curved magazine, for instance, can be carried comfortably in one pocket while an extra loaded magazine can be carried in another pocket. Example magazines carry single and multiple rows of cartridges along appropriately sized curved housings. The magazine's curvature provides a user with a prominent tactile feature that quickly indicates in which direction the magazine should be inserted within the pistol.
