Abstract: An illuminated gunsight adapted to be fixedly engageable with a firearm having existing sighting means. The illuminated gunsight comprises a base member which is fixedly anchored to the barrel of a firearm, or to the existing sighting means or to both the barrel and the existing sighting means. A second member, containing illumination means, such as a light emitting diode (LED), is moveably affixed to the base member. Movement of the LED containing member relative to the anchored base member, into and out of sighting alignment with the existing sighting means provides the electrical activation and deactivation of the LED.
