The Mepro M22 is a very rugged and light weight sight. The Reticle is easy to see when in bright sun light. However, Just like the Mepro 21m it has the washout problem. When in low light or in a dim room looking out into bright light or when using a tactical light the reticle becomes invisible. For the Mepro 21 there came a product (the REM 21 LED illuminator) that solved that sights washout. Meprolight has come out with the "Light Module Kit" (For $125.00) that fixes the washout for the Mepro M22. In my opinion it should come standard with the sight. There is another LED kit out there called the REM 22 (Reticle Enhancement Module) for $36.95. It works great. You can attach it yourself or send in the left side plate of the Mepro M22 to the company (M1Bullpup.com) and they will attach it for free. Overall the M22 is a great, small, rugged sight but needs a back up LED illuminator.

I needed a TA44 to experiment on and this was a good price. The Tritium was dead but that didn't matter to me because I am adding a REM ACOG LED illuminator to this so it will illuminate the Reticle in all light conditions.
The sight itself is very small but the glass is very clear like all ACOGs. I was surprised at how small the numbers were on the etched glass I couldn't read them. So this basically is a red dot but it is only powered by the fiber optic. The fiber optic is very small so it doesn't collect a lot of light as the TA33 or TA31 or any other ACOG. This definitely needs a battery powered LED to illuminate the Reticle.
