First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a firearm comprising a receiver; and
an illumination sight, comprising:
a housing member that is configured to be placed over a receiver of a firearm, the housing couples to a top surface of the receiver, the housing member including a lower extension that extends down the side of the receiver toward a trigger of the firearm when installed;
an attachment pin configured to couple the lower extension to the receiver; the attachment pin replaces a trigger housing pin of the firearm when installed;
a light source disposed within the housing member; and
a power source disposed within the housing member that is configured to power the light source.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the housing member comprises a rear portion that extends toward the butt end of the firearm.

3. The illumination sight of claim 1 , wherein the housing member comprises a front portion that extends toward a barrel end of the firearm.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising one or more fasteners that secure the illumination sight to the firearm when installed.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising an adjustment tool stored within the housing member, the adjustment tool is configured to adjust the sight and a battery compartment fastener.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the light source comprises a visible light laser diode, an infrared laser diode, an LED, an infrared light source, or a combination thereof.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the housing member further comprises an activation switch operably connected to the illumination source.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the activation switch is positioned within 4 inches of a trigger of the firearm when installed on the firearm.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the firearm is a non-shoulderable shotgun.

12. An illumination sight for a firearm, comprising: a housing member that is configured to be placed over a receiver of a firearm, the housing couples to a top surface of the receiver of a firearm, the housing member including a lower extension that extends down the side of the receiver toward a trigger of the firearm when installed;
an attachment pin configured to couple the lower extension to the receiver; the attachment pin replaces a trigger housing pin of the firearm when installed;
a light source disposed within the housing member; and
a power source disposed within the housing member that is configured to power the light source.

13. The illumination sight of claim 12 , wherein the housing member comprises a front portion that extends toward a barrel end of the firearm when installed.

14. The illumination sight of claim 12 , wherein the housing member comprises a rear portion that extends toward the butt end of the firearm when installed.

15. The illumination sight of claim 12 , further comprising one or more fasteners that secure the illumination sight to the firearm when installed.

16. The illumination sight of claim 12 , wherein the housing member protrudes less than ½ inch from the existing surfaces of the weapon when installed.

17. The system of claim 12 , wherein the illumination sight is configured to mount a Picatinny rail.

18. The system of claim 12 , further comprising an adjustment tool stored within the housing member, the adjustment tool is configured to adjust the sight and a battery compartment fastener.

19. The illumination sight of claim 12 , wherein the light source comprises a visible light laser diode, an infrared laser diode, an LED, an infrared light source, or a combination thereof.

20. The illumination sight of claim 12 , wherein the housing member further comprises an activation switch operably connected to the illumination sight.

21. The illumination sight of claim 12 , wherein the firearm is a non-shoulderable shotgun.
