| Is it safe to use hoppes #9 on them?? |
I do not need to clean them, but when I clean the top of the slide hoppes get's on them. How can I tell if thay are Trijicons or Meprolight?? ETA: How long do thay last before they go dead? |

10-12 years on those two brands...look on the sights themselves...see any writing??? Should have TRIJ or some such for Trijicon and some numbers and M and numbers for Meprolight...the numbers on the Trij should be the last two of the year they were manufactured...Meps I believe have letters that correspond to the date code... Hope more will chime in here...I have used all sorts of cleaners and have had Trijicon (SiGLites) on my pistols since about 1986...never had any problems with the sights and cleaning solutions...Good Luck, Bill |
Thanks again |
