Abstract
A static reflex sight for a handgun can reduce parallax errors and improve accuracy by locating electronic components of the sight in compartments disposed below the slide of the handgun rather than above. Only the sight lens and light projection point need be located in an upper mounting portion situated above the slide. An electronics compartment connected to the upper mounting portion by a side mounting portion can house an LED, battery and control electronics. An optic fiber conveys light from the LED to the light projection point which projects light onto the lens.
