laser sights
Red dot targeting
Laser sights are aiming devices that project a visible beam onto a target, showing where a firearm will hit.
The red or green dot eliminates the need to align traditional iron sights, allowing faster target acquisition: The shooter activated the laser sight mounted under the barrel.
Common on handguns for home defense and law enforcement use.
