I was at the gun shop (again) yesterday and they had an ACOG (don't know which but it was tagged @ $1,100.00). While looking through the sight it had a bright red dot in the middle of some barely there crosshairs. When I covered the plastic tube with the red stripe running down the middle of it with my hand the red dot disappeared completely. Is this normal? I thought there was tritium in these sights. 2nd question. The sight I looked at wasn't mounted on a rifle is that why the crosshairs were nearly immpossible to see? |

I have one question. Someone told me that when the tritium is dead after 10, 12 years of service, the sight will get blurred and rendered useless, is that true? I own a TA 31F that I love but hell, if I can't use it 10 years later, that doesn't make sense to spend so much money.

whoever told you that is a dumbass tritium has a half life of 12,5 yrs so it will be half bright when the time comes even after that you will still have the reticle itself which will be just black like any other reticle and you still have the fiber optic which will illuminate the reticle during the daylight go to the trijicon site all the info you need is there trijicon faq get from the horses mouth |
