Abstract
A handgun may include a slider-integrated active illumination sight. By integration of electrical connectors into the slider that conduct power from a rear powered sight to a front sight mounting area, a light source inside the front sight can emit light to the shooter's eye and make the front sight visible in any light condition. In combination with actively illuminated rear sight marks, the user now sees three evenly illuminated aiming marks. Alternatively, light can be conveyed from the rear unit to the front aiming marks by means of fiber optics.
