Abstract

Iron sights for a handgun that positions both the front and rear sight components within the shooter's depth of field when the handgun is presented at extension. In one exemplary embodiment for a pistol, the iron sights of this invention include a front sight component located adjacent the muzzle end of a conventional handgun and a rear sight component located forward of the ejection port of the pistol. The front sight component and rear sight component are spaced apart from one another to have a sight radius of less than two and a half inches, so that the focal planes of both sight components fall within the shooter's field of view when the pistol is presented on target. By positioning the front and rear sight components closer together, against traditional conventions of marksmanship, to be within the shooter's depth of field, both of the front and rear sight components can be clearly perceived visually by the shooter when the handgun is presented at extension on target.
