An apparatus and methods are provided for a handgun stabilizer that enables a shooter to very accurately fire a handgun while remaining well protected by a ballistic shield and looking through a bullet resistant viewing window comprising the ballistic shield. A high visibility green laser sight/high output white light illumination system may be mounted onto the handgun for aiming and illumination, with the handgun being precisely and removably mounted to the side of the handgun stabilizer at a location where the handgun's grip can be ergonomically grasped in the shooter's dominant hand, both for operating the handgun and for controlling the position and orientation of the ballistic shield for aiming purposes. An interface that enables the handgun to be precisely and removably mounted to the handgun stabilizer may comprise a quick-draw holster that is mounted directly onto the handgun stabilizer.

A handgun wedge stabilizing brace (“HWSB”) comprising a stabilizing body and a support member which can be removably connected to a handgun. The stabilizing body braces the handgun against the shooting side of the front of the user's front torso below the shoulder and stabilizes it by being introduced between the side of the user's body torso below the shoulder and upper arm. One end of the support member is telescopically receivable into the stabilizing body and can be adjusted to the desired position by the user. The other end of the support member is removably connected to the rear end of a hand gun, particularly a heavy pistol. The handgun wedge stabilizing brace improves shooting control and stability when using a handgun, especially for one-handed shooters and individuals with a disability.
