A firearm optics mount is configured to position an optic device on a firearm in a position offset from vertical alignment above the barrel when the firearm is in the vertical position. The canted mount includes a base, a support, and an optic mount at the end of the support. The support is configured to offset the optic between 5 and 30 degrees from vertical alignment with the barrel when the firearm is vertically positioned. The support may be configured to offset the optic between 12 and 22 degrees. The base of the mount may include a rear sight. The optic mounted to the firearm via the canted mount may be a primary or only optic of the firearm. The mount may vertically align a bullet drop feature of an optic with the centerline of the barrel when the firearm is canted to position the optic vertically above the barrel.

A gun sight optic contingency system is mounted co-witnessed with a red dot sight onto a firearm. The red dot sight has a sight window that remains functionally unobstructed. The gun sight optic contingency system has a low profile rear sight located proximal to a shooter, and a front sight located distally to the shooter. The rear and front sights together define a sighting axis aligned with the path a fired projectile takes. Amounting, such as an adapter plate, couples to the firearm. When aimed at a target, the front sight is visible within and adjacent to a bottom of the view visible in the sight window. The rear sight is outside of and adjacent to a bottom of the sight window and also adjacent to and just below the front sight view in the sight window. The front and rear sights may contain a luminescent compound.

A handgun optic mounting system is disclosed for improving accuracy and durability with use of an optic mount to a handgun. The handgun optic mounting system includes an optic recess disposed on a handgun slide of the handgun, the optic recess having a recessed surface angled relative to an upper surface of the handgun slide, a barrel central axis, or both. Angle of the recessed surface provides compensation to bullet drop at longer ranges. The handgun optic mounting system further includes a plurality of threaded apertures extending into the recessed surface including a first aperture and a second aperture. The first aperture has a single mounting protrusion extending above the recessed surface, and the second aperture terminates flush with the recessed surface, allow a larger fastener to engage with the second aperture to create a greater clamping force with an associated optic mount.
