Most have gone to circular file 13 because they failed to do two things: keep time and function. I have seen and used a number of watches in the 20 years I have worked for Uncle Sam. It's used to start our day, end it, verify the time for various reports and call-ins throughout the day, and sometimes even to answer the passerby who inquires as to what time it is. One important piece of gear that's often overlooked is a wristwatch. These sights will give you a good sight picture in day or night and they are built to handle the rigors of duty, training, and competition. Should your department be looking for new tritium sights for its duty weapons, consider going with the Truglo TFOs. While the handgun sights are windage adjustable, the AR sights are easily adjusted for elevation. They aid my near-50-year-old eyes in finding the front sight and they have proven to be durable and make accurate shot placement much easier than factory sights. I have used TFOs on my SIG Sauer P226, my DelTon DTI4 (model TG131AR) with fixed front sight, and on my DPMS M4's gas block (model TG115 with an LED light in the base). The sights are also available to replace the fixed front sight of an AR or fit a Picatinny-railed gas block on your AR. You can easily install TFOs yourself, and they're available for a wide range of weapons: SIG Sauer, Glock, H&K USP, most Kimber 1911s, and Springfield Armory's XD and XDM series of pistols. The TFOs are also tough enough that SIG Sauer installs them on several of the pistols produced by SIG's Custom Shop. These sights are tough enough that several agencies are installing them on their issued duty weapons. Although the top is open, the sides of the sight are enough to protect the fiber optic tube. The fiber optic tube sits inside a metal sight. These bright green front sights are great for daylight use, and at night the tritium "glows" in the dark the best of both worlds. Many years ago I installed fiber optic sights on my Limited Class 1911 for competition, but I found them too fragile and I replaced them with other sights.įast forward to the year 2010 and to Truglo's Tritium Fiber Optic (TFO) sights. So if comfort and versatility are what you look for in a pair of pants, the 5.11 Tactical Covert Cargo will serve you well.īeing able to see your sights is one of the most important considerations when using your duty weapon. The 5.11 Covert Cargo is one of the most comfortable pairs of pants I have worn in quite some time. Speaking of the front pocket, it will easily carry a "J" frame or small pocket semi-automatic securely and discreetly when you close the zipper.ĥ.11 Tactical finishes the low-profile look of the Covert Cargo with traditional sized belt loops that will accommodate a 1.75-inch-wide belt, but I found a 1.5-inch-wide belt was more casual looking. You access this pocket through the seam zipper and it looks like you are simply accessing your front pocket. If you are not packing your favorite AR they work just as well for your wallet, cell phone, or small digital camera.Įach front slash pocket of the Covert Cargo has a zipper pocket behind it. The great thing about this pocket is it will carry two 30-round AR-15 magazines. This pocket is much more slim line and gives the Covert Cargo a more casual look. The problem is this style usually leaves no place to put your stuff.ĥ.11's Covert Cargo Pant solves this problem by having the pocket open with a zipper built into the seam of the leg and not be a traditional billow style pocket. While cargo pants may be fashionable most of the time, there is sometimes a need to go with the smooth legged chino look. Recently 5.11 Tactical added the Covert Cargo Pant to its ever expanding line of apparel and more. ESS Eyepro should be one of the companies you consider to safeguard your eyes.
