Trijicon SRS that diod thing?
Yes, we are hearing about it, not everyone is complaining but there is definitely an issue with that reflective square that people are seeing. Moving in and out of buildings and depending on various power settings you will see it. Considering the cost of the optic and that the fix is to spend another $100 on this optic, it certainly has hit a cord with some of our potential customers. I personally think that Trijicon is going to have to make a fix or modification to the optic if they want it to sell in the 2014. The Trijicon SRS sight compared to some of the other AR15 or M4 red dot reticles is very popular with the competition shooters primarily because they have the money and they are willing to be the first to step in line for a smaller compact new technology optic with a 1.75 MOA dot.
I have always been a fan of the Eotech sights primarily because I like the 65MOA circle around the 1 MOA dot but I can see why people want an optic with longer battery life. There are some pretty big differences between all of the Trijicon Reflex Sights and it’s up to the purchaser to do some research about them. Some of the red dots have dramatically different dot sizes and there are pros and cons to using a 2 MOA dot, 1.75 MOA dot, or a 6.5 Amber red dot. I hear from many of our Police officers about wash outs, or drops in reticle visibility when going from bright light to dark rooms so having variable power settings usually is a plus for house clearing. We’ll see what’s new from Trijicon optics this year at Shot Show but let’s hope for a new generation of Trijicon SRS sights.
