Abstract: An electronic accessory for a firearm includes a housing including a right side, a left side, and an attachment mechanism for securing the electronic accessory to the firearm. The housing contains components of the electronic accessory. The components of the electronic accessory include an electronic component, a sensor sensing a magnetic field, and a circuit board coupled to the electronic component and the sensor. The circuit board controls the electronic component and suspends power to the electronic component when the sensor senses a magnetic field above a threshold strength. A first switch is disposed on the right side of the housing and a second switch is disposed on the left side of the housing. The switches are operable to control the electronic component via the circuit board. A power source provides power to at least one of the electronic component, the sensor, and the circuit board.

Abstract: A combination includes a holster and a laser gun sight that is securable to a gun. The laser gun sight includes a housing including a laser aperture sized to accommodate a laser module, a laser module disposed within the laser aperture, a circuit board including circuitry configured to operate the laser module and a sensor disposed on the circuit board and configured to detect a position of the laser gun sight relative to the holster. The laser gun sight may be a green laser gun sight and may be configured to automatically turn off when holstered and automatically turn on when drawn.
