The trijicon tripower

This is a fiber optic/tritium/glow stick powered red dot that just works. It is submersible (for when you want to swim with your tactical rifle). It is not magnified and it shows a red dot wherever you go (as in you cannot turn it off) it was made to compete with aimpoint sights. For some reason they never really caught on in the US. If you find one expect to pay around $500 for it.

THE GOOD:

It is a very well made high quality sight.

For CQB it is hard not to like this.

Not ever needing to change batteries is a really cool thing (though the tritium will burn out in 12 years)

the glass is incredible.

THE BAD:

It has a very small tube and as such limits your field of view somewhat.

The dot is small and hard to pick up in full sun.

It is not a parallax free sight.
There are lots of knockoffs out there

FINAL THOUGHTS:

All in all this is a cool little sight, but it is also not quite as good as it should have been, I mean to say it had a lot going for it but it was missing that “x factor” and as a result I understand why it never really took off. These are still not common place, and they should have been.
