Abstract
A hand held firearm is provided with a detachable sight and a mount for mounting the detachable sight on the receiver of the firearm. The mount comprises a track, e.g., a rail track, which is provided on the top surface of the receiver of the firearm and adapted to slidably receive the detachable sight, at least one bore, which opens in the top surface of the housing at the bottom of the track, and a screw which is mounted on the detachable sight and extends into the bore. In order to provide the firearm with such a mount which can be operated in a simple and skillful manner, a fixing nut is rotatably mounted in the bore of the receiver. The screw which is connected to the detachable sight is screwed into the nut. The nut is adapted to be forced down in the bore against the force of a spring, and a knurled disk is provided, which is disposed on a laterally open slit of the receiver and is non-rotatably connected to and axially slidable relative to the fixing nut.
