Their products, which also include popular red dot sights like the RMR (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex)
Founded in 1981 by Glyn Bindon and headquartered in Wixom, Michigan, Trijicon has established itself as a premier innovator in firearm optics. The company's name is a portmanteau of "tritium" (a radioactive isotope of hydrogen) and "icon" (image), reflecting its core technology.
Trijicon's breakthrough was the development of dual-illumination systems that use a combination of tritium for low-light and nighttime visibility and fiber optics to gather ambient light for daytime reticle illumination. This design, which requires no batteries, results in an "always-on" and exceptionally reliable sighting system. The company also produces a full range of battery-powered LED optics.
Key Products:
- ACOG (Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight): The company's flagship product. It is a fixed-magnification prismatic scope known for its legendary durability and clear glass. It was adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps as the M150 Rifle Combat Optic (RCO) and is widely used by military and special operations forces globally.
- RMR (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex): This miniature red dot sight set the industry standard for pistol-mounted optics due to its ruggedness and patented housing shape that diverts the force of impacts.
- VCOG (Variable Combat Optical Gunsight): A variable-power riflescope designed to meet military durability standards, offering magnification flexibility for different engagement ranges.
- AccuPoint: A line of riflescopes primarily for the hunting and civilian markets, which famously utilizes the tritium and fiber-optic illumination system.
- Night Sights: Trijicon was one of the first companies to commercially produce tritium-illuminated iron sights for handguns, which remain a core part of its business.
