US12650282 - Optics mounting system for a firearm

A slide for a firearm includes a top surface and an optical sight mounting surface recessed into the top surface of the slide. At least one pin opening is defined through a portion of the optical sight mounting surface and is configured to receive a pin for attaching an optical sight to the slide. At least one sight attachment opening is defined through the optical sight mounting surface to serve as another connection point for the optical sight. The pin opening and the sight attachment opening allow the optical sight to be attached directly to the slide of the firearm.

Claim 1

1 . A firearm comprising: a frame; a slide positioned atop said frame, wherein said slide includes a slide top surface; said slide top surface defining an optical sight mounting portion on said slide top surface, wherein said optical sight mounting portion includes an optical sight mounting surface integral with said slide, wherein said optical sight mounting surface defines a plurality of forward pin holes and a plurality of rear pin holes through said optical sight mounting surface and into the slide; a plurality of first optical sight pins insertable into said plurality of forward pin holes; a plurality of second optical sight pins insertable into said plurality of rear pin holes; a first optical sight attachable to said slide top surface, wherein said first optical sight includes a plurality of first pin recesses defined through a bottom surface of said first optical sight; wherein said plurality of first pin recesses receive a first portion of the first optical sight pins that extends above said optical sight mounting surface when said first optical sight is positioned on said optical sight mounting surface; wherein forward pin holes of said plurality of forward pin holes are non-circular and receive a second portion of the first optical sight pins that does not extend above said optical sight mounting surface; and wherein said forward pin holes are larger than the second portion of the first optical sight pins received in said forward pin holes. a frame; a slide positioned atop said frame, wherein said slide includes a slide top surface; said slide top surface defining an optical sight mounting portion on said slide top surface, wherein said optical sight mounting portion includes an optical sight mounting surface integral with said slide, wherein said optical sight mounting surface defines a plurality of forward pin holes and a plurality of rear pin holes through said optical sight mounting surface and into the slide; a plurality of first optical sight pins insertable into said plurality of forward pin holes; a plurality of second optical sight pins insertable into said plurality of rear pin holes; a first optical sight attachable to said slide top surface, wherein said first optical sight includes a plurality of first pin recesses defined through a bottom surface of said first optical sight; wherein said plurality of first pin recesses receive a first portion of the first optical sight pins that extends above said optical sight mounting surface when said first optical sight is positioned on said optical sight mounting surface; wherein forward pin holes of said plurality of forward pin holes are non-circular and receive a second portion of the first optical sight pins that does not extend above said optical sight mounting surface; and wherein said forward pin holes are larger than the second portion of the first optical sight pins received in said forward pin holes.
