Tritium Dies Out! Now What?

This video provides an in-depth review and durability test of the Meprolight M22 optic, highlighting its battery-free operation via fiber optics and tritium. The presenter demonstrates its robustness through multiple drop tests and live-fire zero retention checks on various platforms, concluding it's a reliable, lightweight, and durable option, particularly for survival or 'bug out' scenarios.

The Meprolight M22 is a battery-free red dot sight utilizing fiber optic and tritium technology. While offering an 'always on' capability and a robust build, its performance is mixed, particularly regarding reticle brightness in varying light conditions. The bullseye reticle can be dim, especially when contrasted with bright targets or when a weapon light is used, though the triangle reticle from the M21 is suggested as a potentially brighter alternative.

This video provides an in-depth look at the new Osight XR enclosed emitter red dot optic, highlighting its robust 7075-T6 aluminum construction, RMR footprint, and innovative features. The speaker, with high authority, details the unique magnetic charging system with an LED display, the integrated deployable backup sights, and the versatile multi-reticle options (2 MOA dot, 6 MOA dot, 32 MOA circle). The optic boasts an impressive 300,000+ hour battery life and 8 daylight/3 NV brightness settings, making it a practical choice for various firearm platforms.

This video reviews Vortex's new Defender CCW and ST enclosed emitter red dot sights. The presenter highlights their robust build, large battery life (CR2032), and impressive brightness, noting they remain usable even at lower settings in bright conditions. Key features include auto on/off, multiple reticle options, and a generous window size, especially on the ST model, which is compared favorably to other optics.

Meprolight showcased several new optics and accessories at Shot Show 2025. Key introductions include the M22 Pro, an evolution of their battery-free optic with an added light module and optional amber reticles. The MCO Pro carbine optic offers an enclosed emitter design with US-based design and a versatile three-segment reticle. The True Vision SR optic now features selectable reticles and extended shake-awake functionality. Meprolight also introduced the Mep Sting, a civilian-available IR/visible laser pointer, and expanded into magnified optics with their MVO line, including 1-8x, 3-18x, and 6-36x LPVOs featuring German glass and imrad reticles.

This video reviews the Meprolight M22 reflex sight and its new bolt-on light module kit. The M22's integrated fiber optic system was found to be too dim in many lighting conditions, leading to user frustration. The light module kit adds an LED system, significantly improving brightness and usability, especially on sunny days. However, the kit has a 30-minute auto-shutoff feature without shake-awake functionality, which is a notable drawback.
