Claim:
A gun sight system, said system comprising: a front sight comprising: a base structured and operable to mount the front sight to a distal end of a slide of a firearm; a sighting structure extending from the base longitudinally along the slide parallel to a longitudinal axis of the slide, the sighting structure having a top that comprises a first wall extending longitudinally along the top parallel to a longitudinal axis of the slide and a second wall extending longitudinally along the top parallel to a longitudinal axis of the slide, the second wall connected to the first wall to form a ‘V-shaped’ notch extending longitudinally along the top of the sighting structure; and a rear sight comprising: a body including a bridge formed in a top of the body, the bridge having an ‘inverted-V-shaped’ tip disposed thereon such that when a user looks longitudinally along the top of the slide, the user can align an apex of the rear sight ‘inverted-V-shaped’ tip with a nadir of the front sight ‘V-shaped’ notch with at least a portion of the target nested within the front sight ‘V-shaped’ notch to accurately aim the firearm, wherein the front sighting structure and the rear sight ‘inverted-V-shaped’ tip are solid and visually opaque such that the front sighting structure and the rear sight ‘inverted-V-shaped’ tip block the portion of a down-range view that is optically behind the front sight sighting structure and the rear sight ‘inverted-V-shaped’ tip.
