Abstract

A gun sight system for accurately directing a bullet of a firearm towards a target, comprising a front sight and a rear sight each having a transparent medium with a geometric shape inscribed upon the transparent medium. By looking through the rear sight towards the front sight and aligning the geometric shapes in a pre-determined manner with the target seen in the background through the transparent mediums, an accurate contact of the bullet with the target is guaranteed upon firing the firearm.

Claims

1. A gun sight for installation upon a firearm to assist an operator firing bullets from said firearm to direct said bullets accurately at a target, the firearm comprising a slide-barrel assembly having a proximal end and a distal end, the gun sight system comprising:

a) a rear sight, installed at the proximal end of the slide-barrel assembly, the rear sight comprising a base assembly having a plurality of side walls;

b) a rear transparent medium, removeably secured between the plurality of side walls of the rear sight;

c) a front barrel sight, installed at the distal end of the slide-barrel assembly, the front barrel sight comprising a tent shaped housing;

d) a front transparent medium, removeably encapsulated within the tent-shaped housing of the front barrel sight; and

e) indicia comprising a geometric shape inscribed on the front transparent medium and an equivalent but differing sized geometric shape on the rear transparent medium, said geometric shape selected from the group consisting of a square and a circle, wherein by orienting the firearm towards the target such that the larger of the geometric shapes appears to surround the smaller of said shapes with the target located in the center thereof when the operator views through the rear sight towards the front barrel sight, the firearm will be precisely aimed at the target and readied to fire a bullet directly thereat.

2. A gun sight system for installation upon a firearm to assist an operator firing bullets from said firearm to direct said bullets accurately at a target, the firearm comprising a slide-barrel assembly having a proximal end and a distal end, the gun sight system comprising:

a) a rear sight, installed at the proximal end of the slide-barrel assembly, the rear sight comprising a base assembly having a plurality of side walls, one of the plurality of side walls comprising a crown having a peak;

b) a rear transparent medium, removeably secured between the plurality of side walls of the rear sight;

c) a front barrel sight, installed at the distal end of the slide-barrel assembly, the front barrel sight comprising a tent shaped housing;

d) a front transparent medium, removeably encapsulated within the tent-shaped housing of the front barrel sight; and

e) indicia inscribed upon the front transparent medium, such that by orienting the firearm towards the target such that the peak of the crown of the rear sight appears to point at the indicia inscribed upon the front transparent medium with the target located in the center thereof when the operator views through the rear sight towards the front barrel sight, the firearm will be precisely aimed at the target and readied to fire a bullet directly threat.

3. The gun sight system of claim 2, wherein the indicia inscribed upon the front transparent medium of the front sight comprises a circle.

4. The gun sight system of claim 2, wherein the indicia inscribed upon the front transparent medium of the front sight comprises a rectangle.
