Trijicon came to the party, ready to dance, with all kinds of new stuff out this year. With a spectrum this large, they showed once again why they are a leader in every field of sighting systems.<\/p>\n

Let’s do this big to small.<\/p>\n

Pistols<\/h2>\n

For pistols, there is a new style of tritium sight. Trijicon tritiums have been pretty much the standard for years, that is what a Glock with night sights rolls off the assembly line with.<\/p>\n

Military, police, and my personal carry gun all sport these bad boys and they have a reputation for extreme durability. It’s a long time since we saw an update, and I think we are all going to like these. The new style has a thinner front post, and the tritium looks brighter. My gun is about<\/p>\n

\"Trijicon<\/a>

The tritium looks brighter.<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s a long time since we saw an update, and I think we are all going to like these. The new style has a thinner front post, and the tritium looks brighter. My gun is about due\u00a0for a life cycle on sights and this is the obvious choice.<\/p>\n

Tactical\/Hunting<\/h2>\n
\"Trijicon<\/a>

Features a true 1 power x 8. \u00a0MSRP is $1,600.<\/p><\/div>\n

For the tactical\/hunting\/competitive market, a new 1×8. Trijicon led this field years ago, with one of the first 1×4 models. We haven\u2019t seen much since, and now they hit the ground running with a true 1 power x 8.<\/p>\n

\"Trijicon<\/a>

Thermal optics start at around $5,000 and go all the way up to $9,000. \u00a0It’s a pretty serious piece of equipment.<\/p><\/div>\n

True 1 is a rarity in this size, and some of the very expensive models are actually 1.1 magnification. With an unbelievable price point of $1600, I am very excited to see this hit shelves.<\/p>\n

For the Troops<\/h2>\n
\"Trijicon<\/a>

Pretty cool! \u00a0No more “collateral damage.”<\/p><\/div>\n

In the \u201cI don\u2019t want to know the price, but I am glad the boys are getting it\u201d category, a new M-2 50 BMG red dot. Not a well-known fact, but for over a decade the troops have been repurposing M-4 red dots to mount on the 50 cal.<\/p>\n

\"Trijicon<\/a>

The price for this? \u00a0Well, we’re not exactly sure.<\/p><\/div>\n

It works, but it is less than ideal. Trijicon has fixed that with a factory made Browning machine gun sight. This model also features an elevation dial to get you on target quick, out to 2,500 yards. Well played Trijicon, well played.<\/p>\n
