The cheek pistol is a concept I first learned about from Rhett Neumayer. He showed how a modified Kel-tec CP-33 could be used as a compact personal defense weapon. The folks at Forgotten Weapons tried a similar setup and were impressed by its effectivness. The concept appealed to me, but I didn’t want to buy a Kel-Tec CP33. I ended up designing a clamshell that fits over a standard pistol. It covers the slide and provides an optic rail, allowing it to be aimed and used while held against one’s cheek.

This is definitely a prototype at the moment.

Models

Sig P365 Cheek Pistol

STL: cheek-p365.stl

Glock Cheek Pistol

OpenSCAD: cheek-glock.scad
STL: cheek-glock.stl

This might work with other pistols that use picatinny rails, but I’ve only tested it with Glocks. I know that it won’t work with higher bore offset pistols such as the CZ P-01 or anything from Sig.

Picatinny locking pin

OpenSCAD: picatinny-locking-pin.scad
STL: picatinny-locking-pin.stl

Print at least one of these to insert through the holes in the picatinny rail. This will help lock the pistol into the frame, preventing the frame from coming loose while firing.

Charging Handle

OpenSCAD: charging-handle.scad
STL: charging-handle.stl

The charging handle uses a 3mm or 1/8th inch hex wrench to guide its reciprocation in the shell.

Instructions

You’ll want to print the shell vertically. If your printer is dialed in you shouldn’t need any supports. The charging handle should be printed
