Abstract
The present invention overcomes the limitations of the prior art by providing a sighting device for a firearm having a handgrip with a front strap, a back strap, and a free end. The sighting device has a body including a sleeve defining a bore sized to closely encircle at least a portion of the handgrip. The sleeve has a front portion configured to wrap about at least a forward front strap portion of the firearm, and has a rear portion configured to wrap about at least a rear back strap portion of the firearm. A laser device is connected to the body. The body may be an integral element, and may have a switch on the front span. The body may have a removable lock device that engages an upper rear protrusion of the frame, and the device may attach to the firearm without any fasteners engaging the firearm.
