A rear sight is provided for use on a firearm. The rear sight includes a rear sight blade connected to a mounting base. The mounting base is configured to be connected to a top surface of the firearm. The blade includes a sighting notch positioned to be aligned with a post on a front sight. The width of the sighting notch is variable. The rear sight is configured to be provided with a second sighting notch integrated within the rear sight and which is configured to move between a first position and a second position.

A sight assembly for firearms, having a rear bottom sight, and a rear top sight with first and second top faces. Extending from the first and second top faces are first and second rear sight strips respectively. The sight assembly for firearms further has a front bottom sight, and a front top sight with a third top face. Extending from the third top face is a front sight strip. The sight assembly for firearms produces a continuous sight strip when viewing the front sight strip through a notch defined by the rear top sight mounted onto the rear bottom sight when the front sight strip is aligned with first and second rear sight strips.

A sighting system for use with firearms having a barrel for releasing a projectile toward a target, including an LED light, a power source for powering the LED light, a circuit that receives power from the power source and provides it to the LED light and controls the LED light, a housing for encasing the LED light, power source and circuit to act as an independent unit, wherein the housing is designed to be retrofit entirely on top of the barrel of the firearm, so that in dim light a user is guided by light from the LED light to align the barrel toward the target.

A weapon includes a firearm having a front sight and a rear sight. The front sight includes a front channel. The rear sight includes a rear channel. The front channel and the rear channel are aligned along a sight line. The front channel and the rear channel provide an unobstructed field of view toward a target along the sight line.

The embodiments of the disclosed invention relate to fiber optic weapon sights that use a reflector to direct ambient light to a fiber optic rod and thus provide weapon sights that are bright in any lighting condition. In one instance, the reflector can have a concave shape, such as a spherical or parabolic shape, that can focus ambient light on the fiber optic rod and thereby significantly increase the brightness of the weapon sight. The embodiments of the present invention can accordingly provide enhanced fiber optic front and/or rear sights for weapons including rifles, pistols, and shotguns.

A firearm and firearm sight system includes a rear sight that changes the image of the front sight, that is, what the operator observes when viewing the front sight through the rear sight. The rear sight accomplishes this front sight image change by obscuring portions of the front sight and its shape when the operator observes the front sight looking through the rear sight. This obscuring of the front sight results in the observance by the operator of a new front sight shape. The new front sight shape represents an aligned sight picture, meaning the new front sight shape indicates the firearm sights are correctly aligned on the firearm and can then be aligned with the intended target.
