Firearms Terms
These firearms terms are only a partial list to help you with your firearms term search.
We are trying to get as many gun related products on one website to save you time, and help you locate just the item you are
looking for.
Letter "I"
Integral Lock -- A lock which may prevent the firearm from being fired and which is built into the gun itself. Because of the
risk of having a non-functional firearm when you most need it, integral locks are very controversial in the self-defense firearms community.
Internal Safety -- A safety which is placed within the gun itself and is not accessible to the user. Internal safeties are
generally designed to prevent unintentional discharges when the gun is dropped or mishandled.
Iron Sights -- The ordinary, mechanical sighting system which usually comes with the firearm. It is so called to distinguish
it from laser sights, red dot sights, and scoped sights.
Iron Sights -- The ordinary, mechanical sighting system which usually comes with the firearm. It is so called to distinguish
it from laser sights, red dot sights, and scoped sights. Iron sights may be either open sights, most commonly found on pistols, or aperture
sights, most commonly found on rifles.
Isosceles Stance -- The gun is held thrust straight out from of the body, with both elbows locked in place. Thus, the arms
and upper body form an isosceles triangle when seen from above.
Isosceles Stance, Classic -- Classic Isosceles positions the feet shoulder width apart, on the same plane, and pointed toward
the target. Knees can be locked or slightly flexed. The lower body thus forms a second isosceles triangle.
Isosceles Stance, Modern -- Modern Isosceles positions the lower body to fight or run. The feet will be shoulder width apart,
knees slightly flexed, with the strong-side foot roughly a half-step behind the weak-side foot. Shoulders will be forward of the hips, and hips
forward of the knees.
