Like the US, Israel has a lot of domestically produced firearms, optics, and ordnance which they sometimes export to other countries. Meprolight along with IWI are just some of these companies and they\u2019ve both recently put a lot more effort into producing products for regular consumers instead of just for military outfits. Today we\u2019ll get a bit of that story in the form of a short history lesson from Eric and Jordan. Please give them both a warm welcome to the show!<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Episodes of TFB\u2019s Behind the Gun Podcast:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1348662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/429789925_18327430651118873_5382386610550615938_n-e1715816145465.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/429789925_18327430651118873_5382386610550615938_n-e1715816145465.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/429789925_18327430651118873_5382386610550615938_n-e1715816145465-390x219.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/429789925_18327430651118873_5382386610550615938_n-e1715816145465-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/429789925_18327430651118873_5382386610550615938_n-e1715816145465-660x371.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/429789925_18327430651118873_5382386610550615938_n-e1715816145465-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/429789925_18327430651118873_5382386610550615938_n-e1715816145465-920x518.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/p>\n<h2>TFB Behind The Gun Podcast #116: A Crash Course In Meprolight History with Eric and Jordan<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Meprolight optics have been in use across the globe for quite some time now. Starting in their home country of Israel, Meprolight gradually broke out of its role as a provider of military technology to the IDF, and now provides quality optics, iron sights, and laser aiming devices that work in a wide variety of situations, and for a wide variety of users. Today I\u2019m joined by Eric and Jordan from Meprolight who will help us go over the history that this company has had from its humble beginnings making tritium-powered mortar sights for the IDF, to being one of the more recognizable brands today when it comes to quality red dots and dual illumination reflex sights. Please welcome Jordan and Eric to the show!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mepro Tru-Vision\u2122: The Optic Designed for Special Forces\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RxFwociFnPo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><em>Listen right here at TFB:<\/em><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_1011788\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/podcast\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1011788 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/FEB0465F-0C8B-403C-B2E1-90715C41B300.jpeg\" alt=\"TFB B-Side Podcast: Gun Law and Gun Culture in Italy with Giorgio O\" width=\"600\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/FEB0465F-0C8B-403C-B2E1-90715C41B300.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/FEB0465F-0C8B-403C-B2E1-90715C41B300-390x88.jpeg 390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Listen to Behind The Gun on TFB\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/podcast\/\">\u2013 https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/podcast\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><em>Listen on Apple Podcasts:<\/em><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_1011854\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/tfb-behind-the-gun-podcast\/id1505843385\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1011854 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/9B7A462B-CD6E-4730-85B9-04ED5187E1E4.jpeg\" alt=\"TFB B-Side Podcast: Gun Law and Gun Culture in Italy with Giorgio O\" width=\"1500\" height=\"649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/9B7A462B-CD6E-4730-85B9-04ED5187E1E4.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/9B7A462B-CD6E-4730-85B9-04ED5187E1E4-390x169.jpeg 390w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/9B7A462B-CD6E-4730-85B9-04ED5187E1E4-768x332.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/9B7A462B-CD6E-4730-85B9-04ED5187E1E4-660x286.jpeg 660w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/9B7A462B-CD6E-4730-85B9-04ED5187E1E4-920x398.jpeg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Listen to Behind The Gun on Apple Podcasts<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/tfb-behind-the-gun-podcast\/id1505843385\">\u00a0\u2013 https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/tfb-behind-the-gun-podcast\/id1505843385<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><em>Listen on Spotify:<\/em><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_1011794\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5riFj2wJFloCtoKzvCc4ml?si=V-JiLBcXQSKw6cdtWzqdTw\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1011794 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/5997BB99-1DF9-408F-8267-0F954E97F7DD.jpeg\" alt=\"TFB B-Side Podcast: Gun Law and Gun Culture in Italy with Giorgio O\" width=\"1500\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/5997BB99-1DF9-408F-8267-0F954E97F7DD.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/5997BB99-1DF9-408F-8267-0F954E97F7DD-390x161.jpeg 390w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/5997BB99-1DF9-408F-8267-0F954E97F7DD-768x317.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/5997BB99-1DF9-408F-8267-0F954E97F7DD-660x273.jpeg 660w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/5997BB99-1DF9-408F-8267-0F954E97F7DD-920x380.jpeg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Listen to Behind The Gun on Spotify\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5riFj2wJFloCtoKzvCc4ml?si=V-JiLBcXQSKw6cdtWzqdTw\">\u2013 https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5riFj2wJFloCtoKzvCc4ml?si=V-JiLBcXQSKw6cdtWzqdTw<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Please support our\u00a0<i>Behind The Gun<\/i>\u00a0Podcast sponsors:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silencershop.com\/\"><b>Silencer Shop<\/b><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silencershop.com\/\">\u00a0\u2013 www.silencershop.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>If you\u2019ve said that buying a silencer is too expensive, too long of a wait, or that the paperwork is too confusing, you\u2019re not alone.
