The firearm sight may include a main body assembly, a first plate assembly operably attached to the main body assembly, and a second plate assembly operably attached to the main body assembly opposite the first plate assembly. A sight assembly may be operably attached to the main body assembly between the first plate assembly and the second plate assembly. Moreover, a deployment mechanism may be operable to deploy the first plate assembly, the second plate assembly, and the sight assembly from a closed position to an open position. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A firearm sight, comprising: a main body assembly; a first plate assembly operably attached to the main body assembly; a second plate assembly operably attached to the main body assembly opposite the first plate assembly; a sight assembly operably attached to the main body assembly between the first plate assembly and the second plate assembly; and a deployment mechanism operable to deploy the first plate assembly, the second plate assembly, and the sight assembly from a closed position to an open position. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The firearm sight of claim 1, further comprising a latch assembly operably attached to the main body assembly and configured to maintain the first plate assembly, the second plate assembly, and the sight assembly in the closed position. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The firearm sight of claim 2, wherein manipulation of the latch assembly, in cooperation with the deployment mechanism, deploys the first plate assembly, the second plate assembly, and the sight assembly to the open position. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The firearm sight of claim 1, further comprising at least one mounting bracket assembly configured to mount the main body assembly to a firearm. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The firearm sight of claim 1, wherein the main body assembly comprises a light source configured to display a sight indication on the sight assembly. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The firearm sight of claim 5, wherein the sight indication is adjustable about the sight assembly. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The firearm sight of claim 1, wherein the sight assembly comprises: a sight assembly frame; a reflective lens positioned about the sight assembly frame; and a sight indication displayed on the reflective lens. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The firearm sight of claim 1, wherein the first plate assembly, the second plate assembly, and the sight assembly comprise a substantially horizontal orientation in the closed position. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The firearm sight of claim 8, wherein the first plate assembly and the second plate assembly are at least partially folded over the sight assembly in the closed position. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The firearm sight of claim 9, wherein the first plate assembly and the second plate assembly are at least partially folded over each other in the closed position. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The firearm sight of claim 1, wherein the first plate assembly, the second plate assembly, and the sight assembly comprise a substantially vertical orientation in the open position. ### Claim 12 A firearm sight, comprising: a main body assembly attachable to a firearm; a first plate assembly rotatably coupled to the main body assembly; a second plate assembly rotatably coupled to the main body assembly opposite the first plate assembly; a sight assembly rotatably coupled to the main body assembly between the first plate assembly and the second plate assembly; a deployment mechanism operable to deploy the first plate assembly, the second plate assembly, and the sight assembly from a closed position to an open position; and a latch assembly operably attached to the main body assembly and configured to maintain the first plate assembly, the second plate assembly, and the sight assembly in the closed position, wherein manipulation of the latch assembly, in cooperation with the deployment mechanism, deploys the first plate assembly, the second plate assembly, and the sight assembly to the open position. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The firearm sight of claim 12, further comprising at least one mounting bracket assembly configured to mount the main body assembly to the firearm. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The firearm sight of claim 12, wherein the main body assembly comprises a light source configured to display an adjustable sight indication on the sight assembly. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The firearm sight of claim 12, wherein the sight assembly comprises: a sight assembly frame; a reflective lens positioned about the sight assembly frame; and an adjustable sight indication displayable on the reflective lens. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The firearm sight of claim 12, wherein the first plate assembly, the second plate assembly, and the sight assembly comprise a substantially horizontal orientation in the closed position. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The firearm sight of claim 16, wherein the first plate assembly and the second plate assembly are at least partially folded over the sight assembly in the closed position. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The firearm sight of claim 17, wherein the first plate assembly and the second plate assembly are at least partially folded over each other in the closed position. ### Claim 19 (depends on 12) The firearm sight of claim 12, wherein the first plate assembly, the second plate assembly, and the sight assembly comprise a substantially vertical orientation in the open position. ### Claim 20 A method for providing a firearm sight, comprising: providing a main body assembly; attaching a first plate assembly to the main body assembly; attaching a second plate assembly to the main body assembly opposite the first plate assembly; attaching a sight assembly to the main body assembly between the first plate assembly and the second plate assembly; and attaching a deployment mechanism to the main body assembly, wherein the deployment mechanism is configured to deploy the first plate assembly, the second plate assembly, and the sight assembly from a closed position to an open position.
