A novel and improved rotating stock butt and rotating sight apparatus that applies to a shoulder fired firearm where the firing mechanism and the sight apparatus is elevated above the stock butt when in a horizontal shooting position. This system comprises a cooperation between the rotating stock butt and the rotating sight apparatus that allows the firing mechanism and the barrel of the firearm to be off set to either the right or to the left of the stock butt while the sight of the rotating sight apparatus can be rotated and secured at the top center of the firearm barrel, allowing the shooter minimal head movement in the gun mount.

A reflective sight for use with a firearm includes a rear sight including a light source; and a front sight including a reflective surface directly opposing the light source, where light emitted from the light source is reflected by the reflective surface toward the rear sight. The rear sight can include a plurality of light sources and at least two of the plurality of light sources emit different colors of light.

A sighting device includes a base portion structured to be mounted to a gun, a battery powered accessory, and a battery receiver structured to contain a battery for the battery powered accessory. The battery receiver has a closed position in which the battery receiver is contained within the base portion as well as an open position in which the battery receiver is at least partially separated from the base portion. The sighting device includes a manually operated release button that, when pressed, causes the battery receiver to be released from the closed position.

A firearm including a barrel, receiver, indirect gas system and an adjustable gas block designed to interface with the indirect gas system is provided. Four indexable positions of adjustment are provided for on the adjustable gas block. Positions of adjustment are selected based on the use of a silencer, use of under-powered ammunition, the presence of un-burnt powder and debris in the host firearms operating system, or if the weapon is being fired under “ideal” circumstances. The provided gas block is designed to function with an indirect gas operating system. Excess gas from the operating system is not vented from the gas block thereby generating excess flash and sound. No tool is required to manipulate the adjustment mechanism of the gas.

A pistol has a frame having a grip, an elongated slide connected to the frame and operable to reciprocate on the frame between a forward battery position and a rear position, the elongated slide having opposed forward and rear ends, a rear sight connected proximate the rear end of the elongated slide, the frame including a front sight support element at a forward frame end forward of the forward end of the elongated slide when the elongated slide is in the forward battery position, and the front sight support element including a front sight operably registered with the rear sight when the elongated slide is in the forward battery position. The elongated slide may define a passage receiving a barrel defining a muzzle aperture, and wherein the front sight support element defines an opening registered with the muzzle aperture.
