Claim:
A clamp-on universal gun sight mount for a pistol of the type with longitudinal muzzle grooves on each side of the muzzle comprising: a pair of left and right mount jaws connected at a bottom end adapted to fit over a pistol muzzle, said pair of mount jaws having a longitudinal length and configured to be squeezed together by a mounted sight at a top end; wherein, one of said jaws, at said top end, has a protruding ridge running end-to-end along said longitudinal length that mates into a corresponding groove on the other of said jaws when said pair of jaws is squeezed together by said mounted sight; wherein, each of said jaws also has a protruding ridge running end-to-end along a bottom portion of said jaws adapted to mate into said longitudinal muzzle grooves; a spring-loaded detent insertable into said mount under said muzzle, wherein said detent in a locked position, forces a vertical member into a slot on a bottom surface of said muzzle; whereby, when said pair of jaws is squeezed together by said mounted sight, said spring-loaded detent and all of said protruding ridges cause said mount to tightly clamp the mount onto said pistol.
