The Trijicon AC50016 Fiber Optic Sight Set DI delivers enhanced target acquisition through bright fiber optic technology designed for defensive and institutional applications. This sight system replaces factory iron sights with high-visibility aiming points that gather ambient light for improved accuracy in various lighting conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard iron sights, the AC50016 incorporates fiber optic light pipes that collect and channel available light to create bright aiming dots. The defensive/institutional configuration provides a specific sight picture optimized for tactical applications rather than competition shooting. The robust construction withstands repeated use and environmental exposure while maintaining zero retention.
