There are a lot of brands in the firearms industry that sell their products on the idea that they’ll be what you need when your life depends on them. Then, there’s Meprolight, a company that developed its brand because so many lives already have.
The Israelis don’t fight wars out of boredom, to save face or advance political agendas. They fight for survival every single day, and their equipment can’t be average. When your enemy surrounds you and always has, average equals extinction.
Today, Israel is alive and well, and one of the reasons for that is Meprolight, a company driven by much more than profit. Why? Because while most any optic can help you better hit your target, IDF optics help Israelis see something even more challenging these days: another tomorrow.
Think this is hyperbole? It’s not.
“Meprolight, founded in 1990, was born out of necessity to meet the defensive needs of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF),” said Bill Yerby, general manager VP sales and marketing of Meprolight USA. “As a nation, they had to be self-reliant to not depend on outside sources that could cut them off based on political whims. It was a matter of survival.”
Because of the tritium, Meprolight sights are effective day or night, especially in less-than-ideal conditions.
