Various embodiments described herein may include a turret including a rotatable drive device having a length arranged along an axis that is 1) non-coincident with an axis of rotation of a spindle or a knob, the non-coincident axis 2) spaced apart from the axis of rotation; the rotatable drive device rotatable from a first position to a second position, and arranged to: in the first position, cause the spindle and the knob to rotate together as a unit, and in the second position, disengage the knob from the spindle to allow the knob to rotate relative to the spindle. In various embodiments, the knob or other second rotatable part exposes the rear end of the rotatable drive device or a lever or other user interface coupled to the rear end. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

A sight mechanism for firearms such as pistols, rifles and the like. The sight mechanism includes a sight member that has a rear sight that is vertically adjusted. The sight member can be mounted on a vertically moveable member that has a fixing member that sets the vertical position of the sight member. The vertically moveable member may, without limitation, be a pivoting member. The sight mechanism includes magnets that bias the vertical member against the fixing member so that the magnets maintain the sight at the vertical position defined by the fixing member.

The invention relates to the design of an adjustable rear sight assembly which is developed for improving the low hit rate that is caused by user or external errors in the daily use of firearms (4) and/or professional marksmanship contests; which provides a more stable shooting for the user by producing the fixed rear sight piece used in aiming the firearm (4) with adjustable height and direction. The rear sight lever (1), sliding rear sight (3) and closure part (2) form the rear sight assembly by being mounted to each other. The adjustable rear sight assembly is also formed on the firearm (4) and can be connected to the mounting surface (12).
