The Millennium G2 retains the same loaded chamber indicator as the earlier Pro models, but replaces the Heinie ‘Straight-8’ sighting system with adjustable 3-dot sights. [10] The Millennium G2 comes in two models, the PT111 chambered in 9mm, and the PT140 chambered in .40 caliber. The G2 models are rated for +P loads. [11]

Laser sights were popularized outside of military and law enforcement when Laser Products fitted The Terminator's iconic weapon, a .45 Longslide pistol, with a custom He-Ne laser. [10] Another example was the iMatronic LS45. [13] [14] Today, most modern laser sights are solid-state lasers, as opposed to the original gas design. [11]
On weapons, these sights are usually formed by rugged metal parts, giving them the name "iron sights", [4] as distinct from optical or computing sights. [5] On many types of weapons they are built-in and may be fixed, adjustable, or marked for elevation , windage , target speed, etc. [ 3 ] They are also classified in forms of notch (open sight ...

The sight can be adjusted for range and windage by simply tilting or pivoting the holographic grating. [4] To compensate for any change in the laser wavelength due to temperature, the sight employs a holography grating that disperses the laser light by an equal amount but in the opposite direction as the hologram forming the aiming reticle.
A telescopic sight with good optical coatings may yield a brighter image than uncoated telescopic sights with a larger objective lens, on account of superior light transmission through the assembly. The first transparent interference-based coating Transparentbelag (T) used by Zeiss was invented in 1935 by Olexander Smakula .
