Why the Mercury Reflex Sight is assembled in Texas?

Built With Purpose, Not Posturing

At Cosmic Tactical, we believe where and how a red dot sight is made matters just as much as how it performs. That’s why the Mercury Reflex Sight is assembled in Dallas, Texas, by skilled hands—technicians who take pride in every optic they touch.

But we also believe in transparency. So let’s address a question we get often:

Why isn’t the Mercury 100% made in the USA?

The Honest Reality of Modern Optics Manufacturing

Global Components. Local Assembly. Maximum Value.

The reality is simple—and applies to nearly every modern electronic red dot sight on the market today.

Some components critical to Mercury’s performance—like microprocessors, optical coatings, and reticle emitters—are not made in the U.S.

Even when U.S.-based suppliers exist, the cost is so high it would make the optic inaccessible to most shooters, without meaningful gains in performance.

Our mission has always been clear:

Build a rugged, high-performance reflex sight at a fair price—without compromise.

Making the Mercury 100% U.S.-made today would either:

    •    Sacrifice performance and durability

    •    Or price it out of reach for most civilians, law enforcement, and everyday shooters

Where America Still Leads — Assembly, Precision, and Accountability

While components may be sourced globally, the heart of Mercury is American craftsmanship.

Every Mercury unit is assembled in Texas by U.S. technicians who:

    •    Solder, seal, and align internal components by hand

    •    Apply waterproof adhesives and inspect torque specs

    •    Run each optic through final quality control testing before shipping

This isn’t mass production. It’s purpose-built gear, handled with care.

⸻

Supporting Jobs. Strengthening Supply Chains.

This assembly model allows us to:

    •    Support American jobs and fair wages

    •    Keep quality control close to home

    •    Lay the groundwork for expanded U.S.-based manufacturing in the future

This isn’t a shortcut. It’s a foundation.

We don’t slap on a label and walk away.

We stand behind the people who build the Mercury.

Sourcing from global suppliers.

Assembling in the U.S.

Delivering affordable, durable optics that shooters can trust.

We don’t pretend it’s something it’s not.

We just make it damn good.

TL;DR:

The Mercury Reflex Sight is assembled in Texas using globally sourced parts. Why? Because full U.S. manufacturing would either raise the price or reduce performance. By focusing on local craftsmanship where it matters most—assembly, alignment, and testing—we deliver a red dot built to perform without compromise.
