Sight Training Aid Attachment

Abstract

When a firearm user aims down the slide of semi-automatic handgun needs to align the front sight between the two posts of the rear sight. This is the hardest thing for an instructor to correct not being able to see what the student is looking at. This aid will provide a reference point for the shooter to keep the front sight below, this helps promote proper sight acquisition. This is a hood that slides over top of the rear sight and over the slide. The shooter is able to shoot with this aid on the firearm.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A firearm training aid comprising:
 a first planar surface configured to abut alongside at least a first portion of a firearm;   a second planar surface opposite the first surface configured to abut alongside a second portion of the firearm opposite the first portion of the firearm;   a third planar surface joining the first and second planar surfaces thereby forming a 3-sided slot in the training aid which is semi-permanently engaged to the slide of a firearm;   a window formed in the third planar surface configured to receive a sight of the firearm; and   a hood extending from an intersection of the first and third planar surfaces and from an intersection of the second and third planar surfaces, wherein the hood is configured to shroud the rear sight of the firearm when it is inserted through the window.   
     
     
         2 . The firearm training aid according to  claim 1 , wherein the third planar surface abuts alongside a third portion of the firearm between the first portion and the second portion of the firearm 
     
     
         3 . The firearm training aid according to  claim 1 , wherein the first, second, and third planar surfaces are configured to semi-permanently attach to a slide of a semi-automatic firearm. 
     
     
         4 . The firearm training aid according to  claim 1 , wherein at least some part of the first planar surface contains grooves to create friction between the first planar surface and the first portion of the firearm. 
     
     
         5 . The firearm training aid according to  claim 1 , wherein at least some part of the second planar surface contains grooves to create friction between the second planar surface and the second portion of the firearm. 
     
     
         6 . The firearm training aid according to  claim 1 , wherein the first planar surface contains one or more magnets to create friction to attach the first planar surface to the first portion of the metal slide of the firearm. 
     
     
         7 . The firearm training aid according to  claim 1 , wherein the second planar surface contains one or more magnets to create friction to attach the second planar surface to the second portion of the metal slide of the firearm. 
     
     
         8 . The firearm training aid according to  claim 1 , wherein the first planar surface is connected to the first portion of the firearm with a clamp. 
     
     
         9 . The firearm training aid according to  claim 1 , wherein the second planar surface is connected to the second portion of the firearm with a clamp. 
     
     
         10 . The firearm training aid according to  claim 1 , wherein at least some part of the inside of the first planar surface contains an adhesive to attach the first planar surface to the first portion of the firearm. 
     
     
         11 . The firearm training aid according to  claim 1 , wherein at least some part of the inside of the second planar surface contains an adhesive to attach the second planar surface to the second portion of the firearm. 
     
     
         12 . A gun sight cover for a firearm comprising:
 a 3-sided cover including a first leg, a second leg, and a center plane which is attached semi-permanently to the slide of a firearm;   a window formed on a one side of the cover configured to expose at least a portion of the slide when the cover is attached to the slide of a firearm;   a hood extending above some part of the window that creates a tunnel like structure between the hood and the window along the longitudinal axis of the slide of the firearm.   
     
     
         13 . The gun sight cover according to  claim 9 , wherein the first leg and second leg are connected to the center plane to at least partially conceal the slide of a firearm. 
     
     
         14 . The gun sight cover according to  claim 19 , wherein the first leg and second leg are configured to engage opposing sides of the slide of a firearm. 
     
     
         15 . The gun sight cover according to  claim 19 , wherein the window is configured to receive a sight of the firearm. 
     
     
         16 . The gun sight cover according to  claim 19 , wherein the hood is of a height such that it contacts at least a portion of the sight to which it is attached. 
     
     
         17 . The gun sight cover according to  claim 19 , wherein at least some part of the first leg has grooves to create friction between the first leg and the first portion of the firearm. 
     
     
         18 . The gun sight cover according to  claim 19 , wherein at least some part of the second leg contains grooves to create friction between the second leg and the second portion of the firearm. 
     
     
         19 . The gun sight cover according to  claim 19 , wherein the first leg contains one or more magnets to create friction to attach the first leg to the first portion of the metal slide of the firearm. 
     
     
         20 . The gun sight cover according to  claim 19 , wherein the second leg contains one or more magnets to create friction to attach the second leg to the second portion of the metal slide of the firearm.
