Abstract

A sighting device (10) is mountable to a gun. The device includes a sighting light source (20) at the rear of the gun, said light source (20) being visible to a user when turned on. The sighting light source (20) (preferably an LED light source emitted through an opening), can be used to sight a target. Preferably, the gun with which the sighting device is used also has a first, mechanical sight at the end of the barrel distal the sighting light source. In use the user aligns a slot (200S) on the sighting light source with the first, mechanical sight in order to properly sight a target. The first, mechanical sight could also be illuminated by a light source on the device, so it can be seen when the ambient light is low.
