A modular illumination and aiming apparatus, a preferred embodiment of which includes an optical head module, mounting module, and an end cap module. The modular illumination and aiming apparatus is configured to be quickly and intuitively adjusted by a user in response to changing target and environmental conditions. The modular illumination and aiming apparatus is configured to be ergonomically supportive such that a user may maintain a consistent firing grip while activating the illumination and aiming functions. The optical head module is configured to allow the user to change radiation types by adjusting an end cap. The alignment mechanism in the optical head module for the radiation source and optics is configured to provide a robust and zero-play optical mount in order to resist recoil and general physical shock.

A firearm accessory with a primary light oriented in a first direction to assist a user in aiming the firearm and a path light oriented in a second direction to assist the user in seeing a travel path. A motion sensor may actuate the path light. The path light may be positioned below the primary light. The accessory includes a mount for mounting the accessory on a firearm. A housing of the accessory may include lug receivers spaced longitudinally, and a lug received by one of the lug receivers and adapted to engage the groove on a firearm rail for preventing longitudinal movement of the mounted accessory. Actuators for turning the primary light on and off may be positioned adjacent sides of a trigger guard of the firearm when the housing is mounted to the firearm. Mounting features and battery compartment features are also disclosed.

Disclosed is an optical sight mount with an integrated aiming and illumination module. The optical sight mount is configured to position an optical sighting device (e.g., a reflex sight) on a firearm so that the optical sighting device can be used to aim the firearm at a target. The aiming and illumination module, also referred to as an optical module, includes an aiming laser and an illumination source. An example optical sight mount comprises a base configured for attachment to a firearm, a mounting interface configured so that an optical sighting device can be attached thereto, and an optical module configured to emit a type of aiming radiation and illumination radiation. The optical module is positioned between the base and the mounting interface of the optical sight mount.
