A pistol with aiming stripe has a frame, a slide operable to reciprocate on the frame, the slide having an elongated top surface, the slide top surface having a forward end and an opposed rear end, and an aiming stripe having a contrasting appearance relative to the slide top surface and extending along a medial path along the slide top surface from proximate to the front end to proximate to the rear end. The slide may include a front sight proximate to the front end and a rear sight proximate to the rear end, and the aiming stripe extending from the front sight to the rear sight. The slide may define an elongated medial recess receiving the aiming stripe. The aiming stripe may be a film applied to the slide. The aiming stripe may be an articulated surface.

The current system is a method for easily adjusting the front sight post on a firearm. The system is used to aid in easier front sight post adjustments as well as maintain a uniform sight picture throughout the aiming process. The system solves the current problem of viewing two separate sight pictures when looking through a rear sight. The system also solves the problem of needing a separate tool to adjust the sight post. The system includes four critical parts, a bottom sight post tower, a top sight post tower, a front sight post and a mechanism for providing constant upward force such as a spring. The system has multiple embodiments including the use of various sight posts.

A reflective gun sight includes a rear sight including a light source; and a front sight including a reflective surface that is directly opposing the light source and recessed within an aperture of a front sight housing, wherein light emitted from the light source travels through the aperture and is reflected by the reflective surface toward the rear sight.

A method of firearm instruction may include the steps of substituting a rear sight for a standard rear sight and substituting a front sight for a standard front sight by securing the rear sight and the front sight to a firearm. In various aspects, the method may include the step of aligning the rear sight with the front sight along a line of sight by a shooter manipulating the firearm, and the step of viewing by an instructor simultaneously with viewing by the shooter the aligning of the rear sight with the front sight along the line of sight as the shooter is manipulating the firearm. A rear sight face of the rear sight and a front sight face of the front sight are sized greater than a standard rear sight face of the standard rear sight and a standard front sight face of the front sight thereby allowing viewing of the aligning of the rear sight with the front sight along the line of sight by the shooter and by the instructor simultaneously, in various aspects.

A method for assisting a firearm user with a vision condition includes: (a) fitting a housing on the firearm, the housing at least partially enclosing an aiming indicia including (1) a rear sight having two spaced apart sight elements defining a rear sight gap and (2) a front sight configured to be aligned with the rear sight gap, wherein the rear sight sight elements and the front sight each include a transparent optical lens disposed on a rear side, and wherein each optical lens has a positive optical power configured to provide substantially clear vision of the aiming indicia when viewed through the optical lens; and (b) assisting the firearm user with a vision condition by aiming the firearm at a target to bring into focus the rear sight and the front sight at the rear sight gap.
