A caulking gun includes a
cartridge holder, a stock, a
plunger,
actuator plates, an
actuator spring, an adjustable
handle, a trigger, a
nozzle cutter, a
cartridge poker and a retractable arm clip. A
handle, able to slide along a lower rail of a
cartridge holder, is engaged and disengaged using a trigger. Said
handle permits a user to adjust the
balance point of the gun at will. To disengage the handle, a trigger is lifted, releasing a forked tab at the rear of the handle that engages the lower rail. Squeezing the trigger reengages the forked tab. The
actuator plates are aligned such that a cartridge's
internal pressure is relieved each time the trigger is released. A
nozzle cutter provides a clean
cut, and allows for
nozzle tips to be easily discarded. A retractable arm clip is used as a secondary contact point with a user's arm.
