Last month Trijicon announced the purchase of AmeriGlo, a supplier of American made night sights. According to Stephen Bindon, (Bindon Aiming Concept-BAC) Trijicon president.
AmeriGlo staff will all remain in Georgia according to R. Callihan, founder of Ameriglo in 2001.

Winning.

Very interesting. Hadn’t heard about this.

Well, I guess AmeriGlo's prices will be doubling soon.

Doubtful. Will probably stay separate, this way Trijicon loses a competitor and gains the “lower end” market share. I use that term loosely, as I think Ameriglo sights are an exceptional value.

Callihan's staying on with Trijicon, so it sounds like it wasn't a hostile take over or buy out, more like a merger. 'Could be that AmeriGlo has more efficient manufacturing processes or a better mousetrap when it comes to encapsulating the radioactive tritium. You couldn't ask for a better rep than Trijicon, and I don't think they'd do anything to diminish it. Price points may drop a little, but not much.
