Abstract
A front gun sight for use in combination with a conventional rear sight, including a front extended tapered sighting surface, having a center portion of a contrasting color to the side portions, allowing a quick and accurate aiming of the gun even under poor light conditions. The tapered sighting surface is secured to a tapered mount which itself may be attached on a gun barrel over an existing sight. The extended tapered sighting surface forms a linear sighting line allowing the rear sigt to be lined up with the top front of the tapered sighting surface to align the projectile path with the target.
