AmeriGlo Pistol Sights

About AmeriGlo

AmeriGlo was founded in 2001 by Rick Callihan in Georgia, specializing in high-visibility firearm sights for American shooters.

The company began as an independent manufacturer focused on producing American-made night sights for pistols, establishing itself as a leading supplier of tritium-illuminated sights.

In June 2018, Trijicon acquired AmeriGlo while maintaining it as an independent brand with founder Rick Callihan remaining with the company.

Over its 20-year history, AmeriGlo has established itself as "the personal defense brand for the American people" and secured U.S. Federal Government contracts.

Today, the company continues to provide affordable, high-quality sights made with superior materials and craftsmanship from their Georgia facility.
