Abstract
A lighted gun sight is mounted on the slide of a semi-automatic pistol which reloads by having the slide move rearwardly for ejecting the used cartridge and inserting a new cartridge. The semi-automatic pistol has a grip attached to its lower portion with a trigger for firing the pistol and a grip safety which is attached to the rearward portion of the grip so that the gun cannot be fired without the grip being squeezed. The lighted gun sight essentially comprises a power source, a switch, and an intensity control apparatus mounted in the grip of the pistol. A bridge is then mounted on the slide from the gun sight to the grip. An electrical power coupling apparatus is provided between the grip and the bridge in a manner so that power can be coupled to the gun sight when the gun is ready for firing and may be decoupled when the pistol has been fired.
