Trijicon history

Armson then supplied Glyn with the first tritium-illuminated gunsight, from Armson OEG, available for sale in stores in 1983.

In 1985 Bindon reorganized the company as Trijicon and began manufacture of night sights for pistols.

Trijicon introduced a tritium filled scope for the US Military called the TA01 4x32 Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG) in 1987.

ACOG innovation continued as Trijicon launched the ACOG® 3.5x35 in 1992, which introduced the Bindon Aiming Concept® (BAC).

In 1996, Trijicon launched the 1x24 Reflex Sight, which was adopted by the United States Special Forces for the SOPMOD M4 Carbine kit.

So, it was only natural that, in 1998, Trijicon introduced the Trijicon AccuPoint® 3-9x40 dual-illuminated riflescope with hunters in mind, which features BAC rapid target acquisition.

In 2000, the AccuPoint® line expanded with the 1.25-4x24 model riflescope, designed to help safari hunters.

The TriPower® tactical sight—the industry’s first triple-illuminated reticle—was launched in 2002.

In September 2003, Glyn Bindon, founder of Trijicon, died in a plane crash in Alaska.

In 2007, Trijicon launched the Trijicon Red Dot™ Sight, its first-ever miniature reflex-style red dot sight.

In 2008, Trijicon expanded the popular ACOG line with the introduction of the 6x48 ACOG, designed for .50 cal crew serve Machine Guns.

On January 18, 2010, ABC News reported that Trijicon was placing references to Biblical verses on the side of the ACOG sights sold to the United States military.

So in 2011, Trijicon met the needs of the archery market with the revolutionary AccuPin™ Bow Sight system featuring tritium, fiber optics and BowSync™ mounting technology.

In 2013, Trijicon launched the VCOG™ (Variable Combat Optical Gunsight), a 1-6x24 riflescope, to the world.

In 2014 alone, Trijicon offered the following customized options:

In 2015, Trijicon launched the Miniature Rifle Optic (MRO®), a red dot sight tough enough for combat, the law enforcement, competition shooting or hunting in the harshest of environments.

To start 2016, Trijicon launched the new 3.5x35 LED ACOG® line and the MGRS® (Machine Gun Reflex Sight).

Then, in 2017, Trijicon introduced best-in-class thermal imaging technologies that offered 12-micron technology, 640x480 thermal sensors and digital OLED display.

In 2018, Trijicon launched the 4.5-30x56 AccuPower® and 5-50x56 AccuPower® riflescopes.
