Truglo announced a new red dot optic as we approach the 2017 SHOT Show. The new optic, called the Tru-Tec Xtreme, is a non-magnifying optic with a variable brightness 2 MOA reticle.
One of the key features of the optic is its motion sensing feature. This allows the optic to turn the reticle off when it is not in use. When the sight is moved, such as bringing an attached rifle to your shoulder, it is designed to instantly activate. This “sleep mode” is programmable.
Strike Industries is developing a rear sight rail for Glock pistols so you can add a red dot or other optic to your Austrianhandgun without having to do any machine work on your pistol’s slide.
Right now, Strike Industries has not published a lot of information on the rail, but it would appear to be a short Picatinny rail that mounts to the Glock by use of the normal rear sight dovetail. This should mean that a shooter could merely tap out the factory sight and install this rail. He or she could then drop the optic of choice onto the rail.
