Increase Your Rifle/Shotgun Capabilities With Meprolight

Do you plan on using your shotgun or rifle for home defense? Did you upgrade your sights to tritium, self-illuminating sights that will enable faster target acquisition in low-light conditions?

Tiger McKee, Director of Shootrite Firearms Academy wrote the following in The Tactical Wire, “Based on data from previous attacks we know that it’s likely to occur during hours of the day associated with adverse light, and — if you’re forced to fire — you’ll likely fire about three to four shots.” (The TacticalWire.com 3.25.20) Meprolight®, the industry leader, known for a full line of self-illuminated pistol and handgun sights, manufacturers models for rifles and shotguns.

The tritium powered Tru-Dot® sights enable you to acquire the target faster in any lighting condition. The highly fluorescent coating enhances visibility during the day and combined with tritium allows you to see your sights under low-light and nighttime conditions. No batteries. No switches. Always On. Always Ready. The sights are rugged and built to function under all conditions which is why the IDF, militaries and law enforcement agencies worldwide use them. Read more
