An accessory for a firearm includes a target sight for mounting to a portion of the firearm and a counter configured to count a total number of rounds fired by the firearm.

An accessory system for a firearm includes a target sight secured to a mounting rail of the firearm, an accessory secured to the mounting rail of the firearm, a sensor configured to sense a position of the accessory, and a processor configured to receive input from the sensor and adjust an operating mode of the target sight based on the input from the sensor. The sensor may be a magnetic sensor, a proximity sensor, an ambient light sensor, or a switch. Methods are also described.

A reflex sight for a firearm includes an emitter array including a plurality of light emitters, each of the plurality of light emitters capable of being independently operated to produce light, a surface structured to reflect light from the emitter array to a user of the firearm, and a controller configured to receive input from the user and individually control the operation of the plurality of light emitters in the emitter array.

An accessory for a firearm includes a deflector integrated into the accessory and structured to alter a path of discharge gasses and/or debris after such gasses and debris are emitted from the firearm when the firearm is discharged. The deflector may be sized and shaped to alter a path of discharge gasses and/or debris after such gasses and debris pass a Loaded Chamber Indicator (LCI) of the firearm. The LCI indicates a presence of a cartridge within a firing chamber of the firearm, but openings within and around the LCI also provide a path for hot gasses and debris to strike accessories, which causes fouling and other deterioration.

A target dot sight includes a target illumination sensor that senses the amount of illumination at a target, rather than merely sensing the ambient sight of the entire operating environment. Then, based on the sensed target illumination, the target dot sight may automatically compensate for the brightness of the target.
