A recoil reduction system for use with firearms. The recoil reduction
system includes a cam coupled with a torsion spring which can provide
resistance to a sliding member of a firearm, thus reducing recoil. The
torsion spring and cam can be used as part of a recoil reduction system
that is installed in a handgrip or in a forend. Accessories may be
attached to the recoil reduction mechanism in order to gain the benefits
of recoil reduction.

What is claimed is:
1. A recoil reduction system comprising: a handgrip member having a top end, bottom end, and a chamber that extends within the handgrip member, wherein a track is formed in
the top end of the handgrip member; a sliding member that is slidably connected to the track; and a recoil reduction mechanism mounted within the chamber, the recoil reduction mechanism comprising a cam, the cam including a pivot aperture, and a
torsion spring having at least one coil and being connected to the cam by a pivot pin that is positioned within the at least one coil of the torsion spring and within the pivot aperture of the cam, wherein the recoil reduction mechanism is configured to
oppose sliding by the sliding member in at least one direction.
2. The recoil reduction system of claim 1, wherein the sliding member is a rail.
