In many countries, workers protection services can not be armed with long guns and pistols or revolvers only. Held in the outstretched hands, and deprived of cob - a third of a stable point of support - short arms can not achieve a satisfactory accuracy at greater distances. To resolve this problem, manufacturers of the second half of the nineteenth century offered their revolvers, pistols and later samopowtarzalnych Extra flask (this solution was also developed for the Polish pre-war standard small arms in WP - 9-mm pistol military wz. 1935 VIS).

Although this increased the accuracy of weapons at distances of several-tens of meters, the user still had to use a standard weapon with a mechanical sight. The turn of the century brought the extensive introduction of universal Picatinny mounting rails, and miniaturization of optoelectronic devices drop in price and appearance of the sights on the market of thousands of additional accessories to arms, mounted on a rail MIL-STD-1913. Unfortunately, until recently, not all users may enjoy the short arms, which at best was equipped with podlufowy laser pointer assembly to order.

In order to meet the needs of service personnel protection as well as people interested in fixing the winning weapon sights enormous popularity of miniature kolimatorowych, for several years in the market began to appear with skeletons in the flask (mostly folding), and sets of mounting rails, which can be mounted inside the gun samopowtarzalny . This allows users to obtain a legitimate opportunity to replace their handguns in samopowtarzalny rifle to pistol ammunition, which could be mounted on various types of sights, grips, laser sights and other accessories.

Debuting at SHOT Show 2012 universal framework developed by the ACP SIG Sauer, which can be installed in most pistols equipped podlufową mounting rail. In the picture with the ACP-LE model with distributed flask

In 2012, the group of producers of such structures has joined SIG Sauer, who presented at SHOT Show versatile skeleton ACP (Adaptive Carbine Platform) adapted to all the guns, which were equipped with a mounting rail podlufową (manufacturer of the materials in their reports that this applies to all such models SIG Sauer, including manufactured by this company Colt M1911 clone, as well as most other designs). Thus distinguished from competing solutions, the most adapted to only one model or series handguns.

The skeleton can very quickly mount the gun, which is tensioned by means of the handle affixed at will on the right or left side. ACP has a 5 rails (two dorsal, bottom and two slanted side), as well as mounted against the bottom rail limiter that protects the user's hand by getting to the line of fire. The skeleton may be provided with hinged at the back rod flask (model ACP-LE), which is so shaped that the ejection does not cover the window, only the scales or belt attachment to the carrier (ACP-E model), because according to the laws of some states, for example, U.S. skeleton of the flask, which is plugged in to the gun, is automatically classified different kinds of weapons - Short Barrel Rifle and requires a separate license.
