An apparatus comprising:

• a raised structure formed and illustrated to simulate the appearance of a portion of a handgun;
• a means for temporarily affixing gun sight components to a raised structure in the approximate position that such components would normally be mounted on an actual handgun;
• a substantially transparent covering applied to the raised structure to secure said gun sight components in position and allowing a view through said gun sight components;
• a substrate material with a first portion having an opening through which the raised portion protrudes with a fold to create a second portion of the substrate material;
• and
• said second portion of substrate material being folded in a manner to trap the edges of the substantially transparent covering between the first and second portions of the substrate material.
