Love this Sight! Chevron is crisp and easy to pic up and this sight will still function unlike red dots if there is EMP...

I purchased this sight for my FS2000, to replace the factory 3x sight. It works perfectly with the EOTech Gen II 3x magnifier. And has excellent eye relief both with and without the magnifier. Requires a 1/2" riser to align with the EOTech, and they both just fit on the top rail of the FS2000. The sight is very easy to zero in and has maintained zero after a couple hundred rounds. The light gathering mechanism even works on the range in average light conditions. The tritium light source works very well in low and no light conditions. I have not needed to use the batteries to power the chevron. The only real problem I have found with this sight is when sitting in a dark location and looking out into full daylight. In this situation, the chevron is extremely pale. Turning on the battery does not help the situation. For how expensive the unit is, it should have come with a better full system cover and lense covers. The cover that comes with it is very difficult to put on and off. ...

I use a Trijicon TX30(GenI) on a Larue Tactical LT-129, mounted on a M4 carbine. The optic is co-witness'd by the Iron sights. With it set up like this, the TX30 is a perfect home defence optic. There is no need to remember to turn it on (thanks to the tritium) and the light gathering fiber-optics on top help to adjust for brighter lighting conditons. The recticle will drown out when looking onto a really bright area if you are aiming from a area with little light. This is going to be a give-in due to is design, just use the battery power to compensate for this, or just aim with the co-witness'd Irons sights if you have it set up like this. I would choose the TX30 over an Eotech or Aimpoint any day. Great optic!

The first unit I received (SN 6958) had a crooked battery compartment and would not accept batteries. I returned this and received a replacement (SN 7166). Replacement unit shuts off when jarred or rifle fired. I called Trijicon and the rep said to "take a toothpick and adjust the battery contacts". This is unacceptable for a battle sight. Do not buy this product.

This is my first optic with a aiming chevron and I love it. Much more accurate then a dot especially for longer distance work.

If you are shopping for a 1x red-dot scope you really owe to yourself to take a good look at this one. Not as popular as other combat-grade red-dots it's just as good in most aspects and better in others. The chevron reticle rules and the visibility for these eyes is better than the competition in every light condition. Highly recommended. I didn't like the included 30mm weaver ring but the rest of the accessories are top notch. Trijicon's customer service is WORLD CLASS. And their products are made in the USA.
