The Qwik-Point series of optics are known for their simplicity, durability, and large center dot which makes them ideal for shotgunning and fast/close shooting. It uses a fiber optic collector to illuminate the center dot, very similar in concept to the Normark SinglePoint and Armson OEG, however instead of an occluded view, the Qwik-Point transposes the dot onto a (very) blue lens set.

Patent filed in 1970 and sold before it was even approved, these were very advanced for their time. For context, Aimpoint sold their first optic in 1975, and the first functional prototype for the EOTech type holographic sight was made in 1994. At the time, these items were technically made by Olin Corp, which purchased Weaver in 1968.

They came in four variants and were priced at ~$40 ($340 in 2025).

Model	Intent
S-1	Shotguns
S-1100	Remington 1100 & 870
R-1	Rifles w/ Weaver base
R-22	.22 Caliber Rifles

While a patent was filed in 1974 and approved in 1976 that might have increased night-time performance, I have never seen one actually made.

Sold into the 1980’s, Weaver eventually changed the Qwik-Point product line to feature more traditional electronic red dot sights in ~1995.
These came in long and short body versions, black or silver/stainless, with dot sizes at 4, 8, and 12 MOA. These retailed for ~$380 and some had rheostat control of brightness.

At present, the old generation of Qwik-Points can be had on eBay and Gunbroker for $50-100.

Prolific Gun CAD’er Stubbs has published a picatinny adapter for the S1.
