The Trijicon Compact ACOG 1.5x16S (brand part no. TA44-C-400333) is a fixed 1.5x, 16mm-objective combat optic with a 2 MOA green center-dot reticle that needs no battery to stay illuminated. Fiber optics gather ambient light to keep the reticle visible in daylight, while a tritium-phosphor lamp takes over in low light, so the sight is always ready without a power switch. The compact body is built to Trijicon’s rugged, mil-spec-tested standard and weighs roughly 5.1 ounces on its own, making it easy to carry on fast-moving carbines or PDWs. This model ships complete with a low-height mount and a green illumination adjustment ring already attached, in a black finish.
