Trijicon has led the industry in the development of superior any-light aiming systems since the company’s founding in 1981. World-renowned for its innovative applications of tritium and advanced fiber- optics, Trijicon manufactures the most advanced riflescopes, red dot sights, electro optics, and iron sights for law enforcement, military and sporting applications.

1. Where did your company name originate from?

Trijicon’s name can be broken down into three parts. The “Tri” is for the tritium used in our products. The “icon” refers to our goal to be an icon in the gunsight industry. The “j” connects “Tri” and “icon” together and makes three dots in the word, which resembles our tritium-filled night sights.

2. What was the inspiration behind starting your company?

Glyn Bindon was the inspiration behind starting Trijicon. While visiting friends in South Africa in 1980, Mr. Bindon met a friend who had developed a luminous gunsight. This gentleman had hoped to sell it in America. Mr. Bindon brought a sample back home and soon discovered there was a market for the sight. He thus began his move into the gunsight business – working off the shelf in his home family room.

3. What are some of your signature products?

Our most iconic product is the Trijicon® ACOG. It is a fixed power, dual illuminated sight (fiber optic/tritium) that is extremely durable. No other magnified optic has been used more in combat than the ACOG.

Trijicon also leads the industry in image quality, ease of use, and durability with its line of Electro Optic thermal riflescopes. Trijicon’s advanced thermal imaging riflescopes are trusted by the most demanding military and law enforcement users.

4. Why do you believe your products are essential to the police community?

The mission requirements for law enforcement officers in the areas of accuracy and force decision making are greatly enhanced by Trijicon’s high quality magnified and non-magnified optics. In the law enforcement profession officer/community safety, as well as officer/agency liability are paramount to effective mission accomplishment. In the areas of dependability, quality and performance, Trijicon products meet these uncompromising standards.
