“Tag: reflex sight”

While reflex sights are regularly used in competitions from Camp Perry to the Bianchi Cup, you don’t see them very often on law enforcement or defensive handguns.

Cabela's has released two new tactical-style sights that could be just what you're looking for in a Father's Day gift-or a worthwhile addition to your collection.

The Sealed Reflex Sight from Trijicon is a rugged, compact red-dot sight with a 1.75 reticle, powered by a single AA battery and a solar cell, and can be submerged to an unprecedented depth.

The Mepro M21 non-magnifying reflex sight from Meprolight is powered by a fiber-optic collector and a tritium gas tube that illuminate its reticle. See the full review here.

Competitive shooters and the U.S. military have known about the advantages of reflex sights for years, but it wasn’t until these “red dots” were miniaturized that rank-and-file gun owners took note. Several major gun companies now make handguns with integral mounts for these sights, and more are surely on the way.

Let’s face facts. When the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) select a firearm or related product, you know it’s been put through the wringer in testing and abused relentlessly.

In response to requests for a small, enclosed red-dot sight for handguns, Aimpoint has introduced a new line of red-dot sights.

Featuring numerous mounting options, the Styrka S3 Red Dot Reflex Sight is a lightweight, dual-lens, non-magnified optic suitable for use with a broad range of firearms.

Trijicon won the U.S. Special Operations Command handgun reflex sight contract last fall for its RMR Type II, and true to form, civilian customers immediately clamored to get theirs, too.
