#Trijicon

There is no more ubiquitous name in the military optics game than Trijicon. With their Iconic series of ACOG riflescopes, the Trijicon brand name as well as the unmistakable appearance of their products has been burned into the memories of nearly every firearms owner I know. This year, Ryan Sikorski, the product manager from Trijicon, spoke with Pete about the new product lineup coming from Trijicon in 2021. Ryan also talks at length about some of his favorite optics the Trijicon produces and gives us an inside look at some of the design decisions that went into Trijicon’s most popular optics.

The US Army MMO or Mounted Machine gun Optic program has selected the Trijicon MGRS (Machine Gun Reflex Sight) for use on the Browning M2 and M2A1 platforms. The initial MMO program started in 2018 put out a request to manufacturers for a mounted weapon platform optic in order to facilitate “faster target acquisition times and increased first burst probability of hit”. It is unknown at the time of writing how many optics the army has ordered and at what price but the initial solicitation mentioned a number up to 11,450.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves speaks with Ryan of Trijicon’s iron sights division about their new dual illuminated, modular, and user-customizable tritium night sights for Glock, Smith & Wesson, Springfield Armory, and SIG Sauer pistols.

If you remember, one of the items on my ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS post was a SKEETIRX. Well Christmas came early thanks to my friend Earl. He lent me an old BAE Systems SKEETIRX and it definitely works as advertised. Let’s take a closer look at this tiny thermal monocular that packs a punch in resolution and detection.

With regards to night vision, I am pretty much squared away and then some. But when it comes to thermal devices I have yet to get something good. All I want for Christmas is an NVision NOX, SKEETIRx and ammo.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves puts the Trijicon RMRcc to a full review. Everyone was expecting Trijicon to introduce an ultra-compact micro red dot sight to compete with other options already on the market, but some did not expect this small, rugged red dot to use a proprietary footprint and cost $700. While many people were excited about the introduction of this new optic, some remain understandably skeptical. James goes over, in detail, the pros and cons of the brand new Trijicon RMRcc.

If you’re a regular TFB reader, you will likely already be aware of the lawsuit that Trijicon filed against Holosun earlier this year. In short, the lawsuit alleged that Holosun infringed on Trijicon’s “Optical Sight” patent, #US8443541B2. You will likely also know that the suit has already been settled and that Holosun recently released a statement about it. This statement was exceedingly brief and general, and mentioned that “…terms of the settlement were not disclosed.” Now with a September 8th press release, copied below, Trijicon has issued their own decidedly brief statement on the matter. There is one interesting point in it that seems to color the resolution with a markedly different perspective.

Competition in the firearms and firearms accessories market benefits consumers. It stands to reason, right? One of the best ways for a company to earn your business and make you a customer is to put out superior products. If they produce something that you want to buy more than you want to buy a different manufacturer’s comparable offering, they win your business – and in the process, you also win by virtue of improvements and innovations to which you gain access. Another option for a company to make themselves and their products more attractive is to sell them at a lower price point. Most consumers are mindful of their spending; they have to be judicious about how many of their dollars they are willing to relinquish and to whom for what. Buyers in general want good value – some of which will involve the quality and features of the product in question, but cost combines with other considerations to comprise a comprehensive value proposition. It’s not enough just to make a product; you have to sell it at a price that people are both able and willing to pay. Trijicon and Holosun both understand these precepts well, and they recently locked horns over how one another was going about their business.

It’s hunting season again, and Trijicon just announced an expansion of their AccuPoint riflescope series. The focus is on North American deer and big-game hunters, the newest AccuPoint models are now available with BAC Triangle Post and Standard Duplex reticles.

When it comes to the growing category of micro red dots, whether they are being outfitted on handguns, shotguns, or even modern sporting rifles with a riser, the bar has always been set by the Trijicon RMR. Whether you lost your hammer and you need to build a deck this weekend, or you are using the red dot for its intended purpose of actually shooting, the Trijicon RMR is as tough as the nails you could pound with it. Its next closest competition is a coin flip among several reputable and good manufacturers… until now. Now its closest competition for red dot superiority comes in-house. So, in this head-to-head Celebrity Deathmatch of popular miniature reflex sights, we will take a close-up look at the gold standard in the Trijicon RMR and its newest in-house rival in the RMRcc.

Earlier this morning we announced that the Trijicon RMRcc is now available to the public to fit all of the most popular concealed carry, full size, and optics ready pistols on the market. The want and desire by shooters for a dedicated micro red dot by a big-name manufacturer has been strong for a while now, and it is finally here! Yes, there are some already out there, but they are produced by foreign manufacturers, seem nearly unattainable to the average consumer, and are not rack-your-gun-on-a-door-frame-by-the-optic durable.

The flurry of new micro-compact handguns like the Springfield Armory Hellcat and SIG Sauer P365 to hit the market recently has people falling in love with carry guns all over again even if we allegedly own enough already (we know deep down inside that is never true). The one absent piece to the puzzle that is missing is micro red dots; attainable, American ones. The latest trend in the industry is to red dot “all the things.” Fortunately for all of us, Trijicon has some good news for all of our tiny carry guns that previously could not be easily or feasibly outfitted with a red dot. Trijicon is proud to debut their new RMRcc (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex for Concealed Carry) and it is meant to fit all of the most popular concealed carry pistols on the market with a more slender footprint yet an ample window to see your dot and hit your mark.

Michigan optics manufacturer Trijicon, Inc. has just filed suit against California based Holosun Technologies, Inc. The docket that was filed on July, 7th 2020 indicates that Trijicon is attempting to bring legal action against Hollosun over alleged patent infringement on Trijicon’s ‘541 Patent titled “Optical Sight.”
